I was thinking of this before you posted. YES! I was seated next to a young woman on a coast-to-coast flight who sanded her nails the entire way. I finally had to ask her if she was going to continue doing so all the way to San Francisco and she put the file away. So annoying.

every time I hear that dull tin of the nail clipper in the cube next to me, I die a little bit more inside.

Pet peeve of mine.

if you are in a meeting with several people. and you F@#$ing cell phone rings, you need to be tarred and feathered.

if you answer the phone while sitting at the meeting and say something like this "hey I can't talk right now, I'm in a meeting" you need to die a slow painful death.

Why my boss tolerates this is beyond me.

now if a phone vibrates and you look at the phone and see that it is an import call, you excuse yourself and take the call.

if you phone vibrates and you check it, by all means send a text "I'll call you back"

but DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE IN THE MEETING....

Grooming in public beyond a quick lipstick touch-up or the like is tacky. Don't clip your nails in public, don't brush your hair at your desk (unless it's a private office) and don't do your full make-up where others can see. If you do want to do that stuff every place has a bathroom. If you find the bathroom gross do that stuff at home.

I find these behaviors in the realm of people who regularly run errands in their pajama bottoms.

I have a colleague who will talk to you while she is brushing her teeth in the bathroom. It is almost enough to make me skip washing my hands.

Quick and discreet brushing is the way to go.

She also talks to people while using the toilet so there are many issues.

Thank you. Rant over.

I clip my nails at work. I try to only do it once a week. It's either that or I chew on my fingers. Thanks for putting up with me.

A woman I briefly dated liked to talk to me when I was brushing my teeth. She got the message when I shut the door on her.

Painting nails is completely out of line. But filing your nails? I don't see the harm.

Yeah. Or in the car before you come in? The sound of someone chopping off their claws is gross because you know those claws are flipping all over the room and on the floor. Ew.
