Nail Clippings

Once I was out to eat with my brother, and I got a hang nail. I keep a little knife in my purse, so I got out the knife and cut the hang nail off. My brother was thoroughly disgusted that I had more or less trimmed my nails at the table while were out at a restaurant. I thought about it and realized that it may have been a slightly tacky move. Of course, the alternative would have been to pick at the hang nail all through dinner (equally or possibly more disgusting,) or to be smart about it, get up go to the restroom and then cut the hang nail off. I promise that next time I'll use that approach. Anyway, the other day at the mall a cell phone sales associate totally beat my slightly trashy restaurant nail clipping, at least in my opinion. I walked by one of those kiosks that sells phones in the middle of the mall, and he was just standing there over the counter clipping his nails. And I don't mean just cutting off one little hang nail. I was actually attracted by the "clip, clip, clip" sound before I even saw it. He was just going to town giving himself a little manicure. Now, seriously, unless you work in a nails shop, do you really need to be doing your nails while on the job? As I was driving back from the mall, I decided that I really should have asked him about it. I think approaching people doing really strange, and relatively harmless activities like that, would be a smart move.
