    Throw them in the bin like a normal person.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,293 ✭✭✭1ZRed


    No. I clip them down the second there's a bit of white in them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,562 ✭✭✭✭Sunnyisland


    I don't bite my nails anymore as I have lost all my teeth.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,538 ✭✭✭flutterflye

    Implying it's normal to bite your nails. No offence I do it as well and despise myself for doing so.

    I usually throw mine down behind the couch. There can be quite a build-up if the wife doesn't hoover them up.

    The maid does it for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,128 ✭✭✭✭aaronjumper


    I bite them and eat them. I make sure to wash my hands first though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 331 ✭✭james142


    I bite me nails (or whatever is left of them anyway) and eat them too. I also do the same to my skin around the nail. Hate doing it though :o

    I collect all mine and grade each one individually according to size and strength.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 790 ✭✭✭nucker


    Sometimes, its one of the nasty habits I know I shouldn't be doing, yet still do it when I don't clip me nails with either a clipper or scissors. What makes it unbelievable is that most of the time they are right in front of me, and I don't use them to cut the nails


  • Registered Users Posts: 295 ✭✭shrewd

    cut them with a nail-cutter. sometime bite them when i can't find a nail-cutter.

    I dip em in jam first before I bite them. I then chew them up a little before rubbing the chewed up jammy bits of nails on a pastry in my local Tesco.

    I did when I was younger. Then heard stories of people eating their hair and having a ball of it collect in their stomach. Imagine what something as sharp as a fingernail does to your stomach and intestines.

    Now I spit them into a spitton like a normal person.


  • Registered Users Posts: 30 lidllady


    Shure dere's fiarce 'ating in dem althougher!

    Nah eating them's a bit creepy...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,555 ✭✭✭Gillington


    EAT THEM?????

    WTF!!??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,171 ✭✭✭af_thefragile


    I vote this thread for the most vomit inducing thread of the week!

    I'd imagine they go quite soft, much like bits of bone.

    I chipped a toot from biting my nails and opening packets. It taught me not to do it so much.

    Disgusting :eek:

    I thought the Venus de Milo was ample warning to people who carried on with this habit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,785 ✭✭✭9959


    I mix my nail clippings into a Tayto crisp sandwich, the cheese and onion smell is so strong that you don't even taste the crisps, which I don't really like anyway.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 135 ✭✭caste_in_exile


    Can't resist a nibble myself... right down to the membrane, where it stings


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,435 ✭✭✭areyawell


    I usually pick my arse for a while and then nibble on the nail when they are smelly and brown

    You've just put me off my 'clipping and crisps' sandwich.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,449 ✭✭✭SuperInfinity


    I never eat my nails, I think that's disgusting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 654 ✭✭✭girl2

    You can get worms from that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 799 ✭✭✭Logical_Bear

    I know someone that has an ingrown toe nail, he picks at it and scrapes the jam from underneath with the file on the nail clippers, sniffs and eats the jam and then continues to hack away at it till it bleeds.

    A pure gentleman

    Remember the really small lad in school, with the really nervous disposition who really would chew em right down to.. well nothing, really...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    I used to bite my nails but never knew people ate them. I had to break the habit though for finger picking on the guitar (sorry to ruin a joke there :p)
    Actually slightly annoying that I broke the habit now as my left hand often has nails too long which doesn't help playing.

    Also what the he'll is that white crap in your nails. I remember I always got that up until a few years ago. I used to hear it was a calcium deficiency but I haven't changed my died and it's stopped.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,145 ✭✭✭LETHAL LADY


    My older brother was the ultimate disgusting bastard when it came to nails and just to make his sisters squirm he kept a big toe nail with skin on in a ring box and worse than that he also fried his toenails as if they were bacon, nothing phases me since when it comes to men.

    I bite my nails but I don't eat them. When I was little, I used to bite my toenails too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,766 ✭✭✭juan.kerr


    Cut them with a nail scissors.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,925 ✭✭✭✭anncoates


    No I chew them and spit them out on the,desk in full view of my colleagues like normal people do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,802 ✭✭✭✭suicide_circus


    I collect mine. Then periodically i take them to Tesco and sprinkle them over the self service salad bar dishes when no one is looking.
