Just Curious ...

If you went to someone elses home as an invited guest wouldnt you think it bad manners to sit on their couch and cut your fingernails with a pair of clippers and flip your clippings onto the couch and floor?? They made no effort to clean them up by the way.
Maybe it is just me but I think that is pretty bad and incredibly disrespectful.

oh God - I'm ready to throw up...................

so sorry - but that is so disgusting -

It was my hubbys brothers sis in law. She is like 30+ years old and I would have thought she had better manners. Their Mom was sitting on the sofa with them and didnt say a word about it. I just about wretched. People never fail to amaze me at their lack of manners and just plain common courtesy these days. I was raised by two drunks but even my mother would have killed us if we had done that on our own sofa much less at someones home.

it's part of PERSONAL HYGIENE - i can just imagine -

I'll hush for now............

I would have made her clean it up

I was the only one besides their Mom who saw her doing it I think. I was really shocked they thought that sort of thing was ok. I have seen women do that in restaurants a couple of times around here. I wonder what is wrong with some people. Jon said that he has been in class in college when a female student would start clipping her nails while a professor was lecturing. He said the professor would throw them out of class and the student was always stunned because they didnt think it was wrong. Some people seem to think its fine I guess.

JG, that is so Crude. Well at least you can say she felt right at home. Yeah, I know its not funny.

 

[jglass]

lol That is funny ... and true so it seems.

Totally classless but am seeing a lot of that from
the younger generation these days. Look at the
people they look up to.

Lord, Janie... as mama said- isn't that a personal hygeine thang- that ought to be taken care of at home before going out into public? Man- does she pluck her eyebrows and shave her pits for an after-dinner show?

It's certainly not just your clan, though. I have a set of cousins (grown men, mind you!) who thank goodness I don't see them often- but they think it's cool and acceptable to sit at the supper table and see who can break wind the loudest! I kid you not! Only reason I even make the effort to see them every few years is that doing so reminds me that I'm not as low-class as they are- HA!

I think in one of Jeff Foxworthys books he said: You may be a Redneck if the favorite joke at the Thanksgiving dinner table was the "Pull my finger" routine.
