Where do you cut your nails?

If I cut my nails in the living room I get grief off the missus, invariably linked in some way to the cleaning ("I've just hoovered in here", or, "now I'll have to hoover in here", or, "you made me fucking sick and now I'll have to clean that up").

But there are no stray cuttings in my procedure. A neat pile of perfect crescents sits beside me at the end of the process, nothing lost. It's not my fault that bone dry shards fly in every direction when she angle grinds her hooves.

Is semi-public nail trimming acceptable or should it be kept behind locked doors?

Bringing you the big questions, right here.

I chew them and spit them behind the lounge.

Clip them outside. It's so simple, I never thought of that, and it blew my mind when someone I know told me that tip recently. Not recommended during winter though.

Lawyer up, delete facebook, hit the gym, mail a package of nails to ex wife

I sit down and clip nails over a rubbish bin. Most of them Fall in. Others that fly away get swept up later in My Annual Room Cleaning Day.

in the bathroom over the sink for my fingers, and my foot hanging over the toilet bowl (seat up) for my toes. Everything lands in the sink and as far as my toes if something flies out I just pick them out of my bathroom rug

how about the frequency of your clipping? I do once a week for my fingers and probably every 3-4 weeks on my toes depending on how my toenails look.

Sometimes I believe I am a mutant and my abilities are to grow my finger nails abnormally fast. Almost feels like they come back the following week.

Extra crunchy shredded coconut substitute. Some people make art out of the clippings too.

A sign of health, apparently.
