| With an Emory board? I am in my own office but the door is open. |

| If someone can hear it, yes. I see this as no different than cutting your nails in a public place. |

| Yes but I guess it’s better than clipping them. |

| I would not do every nail but will deal with a jagged nail if needed. Not the same as clipping in my opinion. |

Personal grooming should not be done where people can see you. But honestly, it is what it is, and no one's going to blackball you from the club for that.
Don't file back and forth, it makes the nail fragile. Only one direction. |

| My nail broke in the middle of the day. I'm not waiting to file it. It's not like I'm getting a manicure in the office. It's 20 seconds. |

This is fine but doing all 10 fingers with the door open is not appropriate. |

yes, would you pick your nose at your desk? Squeeze a blackhead? Wipe your arse?
No, because these are private ablutions to be undertaken in a bathroom or your own home. Disgusting all these people saying :no its not gross. You're all disgusting! |

Agreed! Also don't do any of those things on public transport either. I can't stand it when girls brush their hair, file their nails or even do make up on the metro. Just wait till you get to work and do it in the bathroom if you overslept. |

Go take a shower with your burgundy washcloth. I'll file away. |
