You guys have *separate * toenail clippers? Really? And separate fingernail clippers?
Wow, it never even occured to me. I have several sets of clippers, the big ones tend to be used for my toes. (But I use them wherever I need them). I don’t carry them with me…I have little ones which I carry with me. So the situation would not arise, but I wouldn’t really care.
I mean it’s toenails. They’re dead. Who cares?
I understand, from that angle. However, I’m talking about the possibility of the stranger borrowing them slipping up and catching a bit of quick, and all of the gunk surrounding the dead toenails. It might be a great way to transfer fungus, if nothing else.
Ever hear of toenail fungus?
I don’t get it. (fungus I mean, it doesn’t happen to me). So I guess that’s probably why I don’t care too much.
It’s probably because I wear sandals 10 months out of the year (in Albany, NY, with no socks).
It’s a mongrel to get rid of. If you happen to lend your nail clippers to someone and end up with a fungal nail infection, you’ll regret having done so.
I’ve had toenail fungus for years. The Doc says the cure is worse than the fungus.
Anybody ever gotten rid of this?
You’ve never seen my father’s toenails, obviously.
OK, I will keep this in mind. As I said, though, the ones that I end up using for toenails don’t really leave the house. So unless a stranger comes waltzing into my house…

The treatment is miraculous. Slowly, steadily new, clean nails grow out.
You have to get your liver checked, if it’s healthy go for it.
Your SO will be grateful.
Sure.
No, letting someone else use your clippers is gross. It’s the same as a toothbrush or something similar to me.
When I first read the thread title, my reaction was, sure, why not.
But then I remembered the TV ad with the yellow-and-antennaed-Ed-Meese character prying up the nail on the big toe, the one that causes me to leap screaming for the remote every time it ambushes me, and I switched to an emphatic Not On Your Fucking Life You Mother Humper, Gimme Back My Clippers.
Influenced by a TV commercial. I’m not proud.
That is an eeevil TV commercial; I get the shivers just thinking about it. Bleh. I also would not share my clippers even if they were sterilized afterward.
This thread reminds me of the guy at work who clips his nails at the table while others are trying to eat their lunches. Did I mention he was out the last two months of the year with that flesh eating bacteria stuff on his groin (nearly killed him, we don’t like to speculate what they had to cut away)? Which he got from scratching himself, using those nails he just clipped with clippers he likes to borrow.
Nope, nu-uh, no.
