Gross topic, sorry

He is! That is disgusting!

Make him mow the grass. Right now. Chonk the buggers up.

Goodness me, nasty thought, there are bathrooms for that sort of thing.

Definitely him! Yuck

Wouldn't bother me tbh. It's only the garden.

Oh is it that bad ? they re just going back to nature sitting along with stones, twigs, worms etc
In the state of the world I wouldn’t be too bothered by a few toe nail cuttings on the grass so I m with your husband Mountain out of molehill for me

It wouldn't bother me at all.

It would be the least of my worries.

The fact that he's doing it in the garden wouldn't bother me, but if he's sitting near me it would! Toenails are notoriously unpredictable missiles and imagine if one landed in your eye or drink etc!

Yes I'm with Squiffy here, not bothered about the garden but definitely no toe nails in my G&T

It wouldn't bother me either.

I'd say that the garden is the best place for toenail cutting.

Cutting toe nails in the garden wouldn't bother me but being in a bad mood because you objected is very unreasonable behaviour.

My mind ran wild when I read ‘Gross Topic’. I imagined all sorts of nasty scenarios but I fail to see anything gross in cutting toenails outside.

I would have no problem with that at all. As for cutting them in the bathroom - my DH does that, with his foot up on the edge of the bath. Then when I get in to have a shower I find I'm treading on his toenail clippings - yuk!!! He swears he swishes the bath round after with the shower head, but clearly doesn't do it properly.

So I'm all for cutting them in the garden (just well away from my G&T )

I always cut my toenails outside in the summer, and DH has started doing that too.

Gosh. Living with someone there are much worse, and gross things to contend with, won't list here You must have a low tolerance threshold foxygran.

No objection to cutting nails outdoors but not where people would walk over them with their bare feet. Yuk.

Can't see any problem with that - seems a sensible place to cut your toe nails. The lawn is full of twigs, worms, worm casts, insects, bacteria. What difference do a few toe nails make?

Well it looks as though it swings in his favour and I am in the wrong here! No don’t get me wrong, I have no problem with cutting toenails outdoors, the problem was they were where we were walking and they’d be stuck to the bottom of my foot!! Yes....! It’s only a light hearted topic, of course there are far more important things going on in people’s lives but nice to know when I’m in the wrong! ??

Aw, nobody's in the wrong, we just have different attitudes to the common toenail! I wouldn't have a problem with it, but an ex-boyfriend of one of my DDs completely freaked out because someone had left a couple of toenail clippings on the side of our bath. He kept on and b****y on about them, apparently they were absolutely disgusting (and of course they were mine ).

I'd have understood if I'd been hoisting my feet up onto the kitchen table.....

You are not being unreasonable Foxygran. There isn't a right or wrong. Some people feel it was ok. You didn't. My husband I both think it's gross. The thing is you didn't like it and you should be able to ask him not to do it without him being grumpy. So don't let him make you feel bad about it.

That conjures up an interesting picture Maggiemaybe

Not a pretty one, sodapop, that's for sure!
