Gross topic, sorry

Oh BusterTank, you are so funny!???

Ah, Rufus2, Goodness! The very idea! ???

Need you even ask???
I do mine over the loo so I can flush them away.

It is considerate to gather the clipped off toenails and put them in the bin, rather than leave them lying about. I do this and I live alone - no-one wants to step on a toenail, do they? Your DH is BU, definitely.

I put my foot on the loo seat and then flush the clippings down the loo, or sit on the bed and trim them on a towel and then shake the towel over the bin.

I cut my husbands toenails for him so I have no issue....i mean, they are only toenails

I had a new friend staying with me last week . He had the spare bedroom but insisted on coming into mine to ' get a better light' to cut his toenails ! He then wanted me to look at the ghastly distorted clippings ! I'm recovering from surgery and therefore found it sickening !
He won't be allowed back ! (he left my toilet brush poohey , too ! )

Am I being unreasonable ?

I agree that the garden is a good place for toenail clipping. No matter how careful I am when indoors they always seem to shoot off in an unknown direction. Perhaps someone should invent some sort of foot enclosure to prevent this happening...

Now that I do find gross tiredoldwoman.

Yuk. Why doesn't he do it right after a shower or bath...IN the bathroom like everyone else?
Nails are easier to clip then.

tiredoldwoman
Get better friends.
Why didn't he see to that sort of thing before visiting you?
Some people....?

Just a sheet of newspaper under each foot to collect the clippings would have made life simpler all round. Stubborn man.

I think you are being far too fussy, Foxygran.

Buy a bath/basin strainer which stops hairs and anything else (like rings or earrings) going down the plug hole.
Only a couple of ££ from a hardware store or online.
I have them in all my basins, shower and bath then when I wash or brush my hair (always over the bath so none trodden in carpets) I can swoosh them down the plug end with the shower head, empty the strainer thingy into toilet tissue and throw in the bin.

yes he should have stopped, apologised and moved away to do his toe nails, just out of polite respect for you.

however there are much worse things to do in a garden I would say. it wouldn't bother me I have to admit. my hubby actually does them over the bin, bless him.

Tiredoldwoman YANBU. He wouldn't be invited again to mine!

When I came onto this post first thing today I thought it was windup post, but clearly it isn't and is meant to be light hearted. I see nothing wrong in cutting toenails in the garden and I might ask how long were they to cause so much clippings that they caused you a problem.

Get the sort of clippers which comes with a "catch cap". Clip away, all collected in the cap, then empty in the bin. Flushing them away is OTT, considering how much clean water is used to flush away a tiny amount of clippings.

Oh no! Tiredoldwoman Oh dear... what can I say?!

Annep1, don’t worry, I know who my friends are, you’re invited to the party the following week ?

Brilliant idea to cut toenails outside over the grass - from now on that is what I will do!!

I have to cut my OH's toenails for him (and do a few other yukky things too!) so I would have no objection to someone cutting their toenails beside me. What is this objection to toenails? !

I also have to cut husband's toenails as he is unable to do so, happy to do it, small price to pay for a kind and loving man.

Would anyone go into hysterics if I told you my husband has been known to pee into the compost bin? I would too if it wsn't so high.
