If you clip your nails in the cubicle at the office…

…why? Why are you doing this? Please, I beg to know. Why the urgency at work? Is this not an exclusively at-home grooming activity?

Finally got noise-canceling headphones bc of TWO coworkers who always do this… full time RTO is killing meeeee

If I snag a nail on something, I'm going to clip it right then and there rather then deal with a jagged nail all day. I'm not doing all 10 on the regular.

Want to know a secret? My boss used to do this. At one point, our company was moving and he was out of town during the move so I had to pack his office. I "lost" his nail clippers.

I’ve worked with multiple people who have done this. I agree that it’s weird, but I also understand the convenience for some folks who may not be as busy to do this at work.

Nobody would notice a once off click. But the constant click click click as 10 nails are groomed is beyond gross and annoying.

I draw the line at clipping toenails in the office.

Pretty much this, I mean why would I sacrifice my free time at home to conduct personal hygiene when I can do it at the office right? /s/

I'm personally most likely to notice that my nails have gotten too long when I'm typing, which most likely happens during the workday. I find the sensation of typing with too long nails to be painful so I'm going to stop doing whatever I'm doing an clip them then. I don't understand why clipping nails is so gross.

Just go to the bathroom. Nobody wants your fingernail clippings flying all over the place.

Same, but I'll do it over my trashcan. I'm only going to snip a straggly nail.

I will say, the noise doesn't bother me. I don't think fingernails are gross.

this is terrible. do it at home. ick.

OP, I agree if it's fingernails, but toenails are not such a big deal, especially as most people cut them less frequently.

Nobody does this

My wife hates the sound. I do it in the office so I don't bother her.
