At least they were her fingernails. When I was working at Borders, I was treated to the sight of a woman with seven-inch, purple-painted toenails. :eek:
Good god. Here I thought I’d come back this week to some disagreement – where are the ghetto nail defenders?
Lynn – That style of ATM is pretty common in Bodegas in NY. Hmmm, yourself. :eek:
Shade – Nope, the slot doesn’t stick out of the Bodega ATM. It’s in a depression. She was truly stuck, though I grant that she might have used her knuckles if she wasn’t such a clueless sack.
Bob Scene – Right you are. I edited out a rant paragraph that talked about the “Emperor’s new Foot Binding.”
Niveneh – You think I didn’t? I’m not very shy. I told her my girlfriend has long nails too, but she keeps at least one cut short. 
Matt – “Your fingers are too fat. For a dialing wand, please mash the buttons with your palm… now.”
Dragonblink – Oh, gross!
I’ve got natural long nails and I type 80 wpm and do all normal stuff like microwave buttons, calculator keys, remote control functions, etc. No biggie, as someone else said, because you get used to the length as they grow.
ghetto nail defenders ----BAND NAME! 
So how do you wipe when you go to the bathroom with them long nails?
greens,
not really a comparison. I used to have fake nails too, they were never that long though. 1/2 inch at most. Putting on makeup makes your life a tad more difficult for about 5 minutes in the morning. If it’s a pain for you. Personally, I enjoy putting on makeup. I don’t know if anyone would find having to ask a stranger to take out their ATM card out of the slot a good time. High heels? Don’t wear 'em. Ghetto nails make your life more difficult throughout the day, making normal everyday tasks that most people don’t even think about, an event.
Yeah, that’s JUST like putting on a little face powder…
Eh, I was thinking about it all day, and I agree that makeup is in a different category than ghetto nails. Sorry if I seemed combative. High heels, though…
I have long nails, no acrylics, all real. (A little more than 1/2 of an inch at the moment because I’m between manicures, usually just slightly under 1/2 inch.) I don’t have trouble doing anything unless I’ve just had a fresh manicure and I’m being all froufy frou and girly about chipping my new polish. Pay-at-the-pump is the most difficult thing. That slot just isn’t designed for someone to be able to fit their fingers in there to use your knuckles. most of the time I just go for it, polish be damned, but I’ve learned to fill my gas tank before a manicure.
As for the bathroom, this is why my nails are rounded, not square with sharp corners. This is also why I advocate careful paper folding and not mashing into an abstract wad. There are no problems in that area.
Good gravy. I never thought I’d have a proper wipe procedure dicussion.
Again.
Maybe the leopard-woman uses an aubesian.
