How do you...

[ctenidae]

Okay, new thread idea. My wife and I have constant battles over the proper place to trim fingernails and toenails. Since she doesn't ahve to much, obviously, we have different ideas. I trim mine into the bathtub, where they can wash down the drain. Sometimes they don't all go away (or I get lazy and don't wash them out), which grosses my wife out. She says she trims over the toilet, but every time I try that, about half the clippings fly off into Nevernever Land.

What do you do? Since most of you all are males, you have more nail clipping needsd than most females.

And then, what other things do you wonder how others take care of?

This is what we've resorted to? :roll:

I trim into a garbage can and try my best to track down the strays that miss it...

 

[Moe Ghoul]

I do nail clipping outside in nice weather, and toilet when it's cold. Toilet clipping requires some skill in knowing clipping trajectory, clipper angle, and force applied to the clipper. If the cleaning gals are showing up within a day, I'll leave em on the bedroom floor for the vac.

This is an easy one...mani/pedi at the salon Let someone else deal with it.

 

[drjeff]

Pretty much on whatever couch/chair that looks the most comfy at that time. I'll try and contain them all, but when one goes for a launch, sometimes the serach parties just can't find it

For whatever reason there's usually nail clippers in about a half dozen rooms in my hosue, so this definately isn't just a "bathroom sport"

I friggin hate these threads that start with a half question...

Seriously bug the crap out of me...

Toenails into the toilet and flush. Fingernails into the sink and rinse down the drain. I have different clipping technique for different nails :lol:

I do it just for you.
Plus, it's an open half question. Any other quandries, go for it.

It friggin annoying...

I like to sit on the couch to cut mine. I either do it over a garbage can or use a plastic shopping bag. I like to use the kind of clippers that have a shield on the sides to catch most of the clippings.

 

[Trekchick]

Sorry, folks, clippers are for hang nails. The only thing that touches any of my nails is a file.
No clippings to deal with.

Like Kris says, Treat yourself to a nice pedicure once. Just try it.

That reminds me, I'm due for a manicure.

There are some things I just don't want to know about somebody .. it's just a matter of time before GSS starts a thread asking How do you wipe your ass?...

There was a discussion on this at Epic for a person who broke both wrists skiing!!!:-o
Think about it!

that's actually a half-way decent question.....since i found out from a friend that he uses sanitary napkins only. he claims that toilet paper isn't hygenic and is much less efficient.

me? i wipe my ass with TP. preferably white. don't like the colored stuff.

wow... good one... I feel sooooo burned....

I'm just talking about etiquette...
i want to participate on this board.. lots of times it's by blackberry or iphone. So it takes a while for a thread to load up... Especially since this board is so complicated in design...


But - maybe I just need a break from you guys for a while...

I stick with white, 2 ply. Something about putting dye in TP doesn't make any sense other than a fashion statement. I was hardcore Charmin for many years, but found the B&J brand a worthy substitute and about $5 cheaper per large package recently.

My boss had to have surgery on both shoulders. He asked the doctor if he could have them both done at the same time so he wouldn't have to miss as much work. The doctors response? Unless your wife is very accommodating, I'd stick to one at a time.

I trim mine in the living room and I vaccuum 4 times a year..
