Do you consider it "gross" or in bad taste to clip your finger nails at work?

i don't think so? it's better then seeing people chew on their nails all day.
is it the noise that bothers you? as long as they are doing it discreetly (ie. not mid conversation with you)... i don't see the problem.
would it be wrong if someone brushed their teeth at their desk?

Even if you do it over a trash can?
Every time I clip mine a cow-oinker a few cubes down calls me and asks: "Did you hear something over there?"

You cannot justify this nasy behavior, unless you are robp, and then we are just glad you are not spreading polution.

I just can't stand the clipping sound. What if one of your stray nails got me in the eye or something? 
I suggest taking two minutes and going to the bathroom...

that would be ok... but it's not like you're doing it at the kitchen table.
the clipping sound has never bothered me. as a result, i think you're kind've

At the very least it's bad taste.

At the very least it's bad taste. |
there was a study done on social behaviors. students were instructed to go against social norms, and report back on their findings. only rules: it had to be legal, inoffensive, and harmless to others.
one girl went to restaurants and would ask for the scraps on peoples plates.
another brushed his teeth on the bus.
there was another good one were the girl was doing something.. i forget what exactly... but it was to her family. and her parents almost flipped.
what a great class project that would be.
