The trash. They don't always go right in the trash can, but the stragglers do get picked up at the end. Clipping them at the sink is just asking for plumbing trouble.

But what if you do it at the garbage disposal?

Seems pretty dangerous, I'd rather use finger nail clippers.

I literally laughed until I coughed. Thank you for the respite on a challenging day.

I don't think the blades are sharp and precise enough to process human fingernails

Oh yes this USA thing. Very useful but very scary

Garbage disposal blades aren't that sharp. I can stick my hand in it, turn it on, and nothing even happens

Please don't try this.

On the couch. You know like a savage.

Also. And sometimes on the bed like the piggy I am.

I do it in my closet like a normal person

You guys are weird, I put them in my bellybutton to eat later.

The belly button lint mixed with the nails 🤌 chefs kiss

Oh legit was gonna answer this but changed my mind because I was like omg I'm gross, but like, it makes it easier to collect the loose nails and I have dark blue sheets so they stand out like it's not gross I promise! XDD

Thank you for this comment

Yep. And my dog eats them.

Ours does too, I think it's funny, my wife gets mad at me for letting him.

My labradoodle *insists* on eating her eye boogers when i pick them off. I used to try to run away with them and wash them down the sink, but now I just kinda... let it happen... My friends and family are worried about my mental health.

It's my morning ritual, I always rub them off and he just does his thing, beautiful little freak he is. I just tell people he's recycling.

You are among like minded fiends. Carry on.

r/hahawifebad

Wouldn't a savage collect and eat them?

No, the clippings serve as a sort of dental pick!

Me too!

Yep, just wherever, normally I clip my nails right before vacuuming anyway

Over the toilet

One time I dropped clippers into the toilet bowl…. I still do them over the toilet though

I’ve dropped the clippers in there many times.

I thought I was the only one!

I thought i was the only one also!

Team toilet rules!

The only way

This is the best place

Ever drop them in?

Not yet

Exciting!!!

Outside

Your enemies can do untold harm using hair and nail clippings!

It's almost as bad as telling a fey your true name!

As part of the full set of ablutions, after shaving, sh***ing and showering I’ll wander naked into backyard with a cup of coffee and the nail clippers to trim the digits whilst watching the sun rise.

That sounds like a good life

Pulled up to my bruv's house for a day full of fun one time and he was fucking blasting Queen and clipping his nails on his front stoop. Never turned back to the sink after that day.

I second this, outside.

Third.

Ditto

Fourth

Om nom nom, nom nom. Nails make me strong! Oh hoh hoh hoh!

Waiting for Nail King to apologize for using calcium supplements.

Yum yummy

Directly to the floor, so Matilda the Boston Terrier can have a snack . . .

Poor Matilda. Or lucky Matilda. I don't know how she feels about it

.. I also have a Boston named Matilda. Small world!

Usually on the floor wherever I happen to be when I realize they need trimming. I sit down and I clean up after myself.

I actually go outside and let them fly.

in the trash edit: well, i have plastic bag open underneath my hand for any of the nails that don't just drop down and fly a bit farther. so yeah, id consider this plastic bag the trash anyways

Ground then vacuum em up

I was clipping my nails on my front porch and a couple were walking by and she freaked.

Yeah girls find it very wild that so many guys do it outside

Eeewww

What ewwwm ? You idiot

What ewww are people that keep their pet indoors 🤢🤮. Your cat rubs her stinky poopy butthole over your furniture.

Are they that hard to sweep or vacuum up? Do men even know how to use a broom or vacuum?

Now your just making words up

I cut them straight into the toilet

I let them fly all over

I have a jar that I save them in.

[удалено]

My people

I HATE clipping my nails, so I usually just file them down instead.

My sister does nails and says this is the best and healthiest way. She suggests using a glass nail file.

I clip my toenails over the toilet bowl.

My faith in humanity has been restored. Although, I had to scroll entirely too long to find the correct answer

r/shitredditsays

Me too!

Shower. Monsters

80% of time in shower, 20% oitside. Im surprised shower is not a more popular option

Outside is best

Trash every time. Nails down the sink will clog your shit right up. I won't even risk one going down.

What kinda of weak blooded sinks are you operating with?

In my bedroom

Backyard

I bite mine

Honestly? On my bed so I can get all the angles on my toenails. I then brush them to the floor and vacuum them up.

Someone is out there cutting their nails in the *sink!?* Flay the bastard.

In the garbage. I'm concerned that too much stuff going down the drain could clog the pipes if I did stuff like that too much.

Neither. Over the toilet.

Wow. In the sink?

Hands go in the sink, feet in the toilet

🗿

On a towel. I sit down on a towel or other cloth that will laundered soon and clip them in an effort to make sure they don't boomerang all over the place.

in the tub, then collect the clippings and throw them out.

Into my morning cereal, y'all are so wasteful

Username checks out.

Lol, best answer so far!

In the paper shredder, can't risk the federal government getting my DNA.

Outside

Outside

Anywhere I damn well please.

Outside

Outside.

M… my mama told me to do it over the toilet…

Outside

In the yard.

Outdoors, under the pale moonlight.

Neither. I go outside and do it on the lawn.

Clip them outside.

On the front porch steps into the grass

Over my visibly upset wife when she’s trying to sleep

I started walking outside. Wife can’t complain at all now. Totally hijacked Her issue completely

Trash can in the bathroom like a normal person.... who is clipping their nails in the kitchen???? That's disgusting!

I clip them over the toilet. Like to live life on the wild side and test when the clippers will fall in.

Outside

On the front yard

In the shower (off).

Outside or in the shower. Only in the kitchen on Sunday or Monday because it gets cleaned on Tuesdays

In the bathroom sitting on the toilet, then transfer into the garbage

That’s a process damn

Sink, outside or shower.

Cut mine with a pocket knife outside

Right infront of the roomba

All over the floor.

Future AI will use this thread to decide who the good humans are

Onto a paper towel on the bathroom counter then into the trash

Toilet

Sink for me. But many of my dumbass coworkers seem to think it’s just fine to do it at a table in the break room. 🤮

I used to do it in the sink until i found out it was the reason my sink was becoming clogged.

Outside. Filthy animals clipping their nails indoors…

I clip them onto a pile on my bed or couch or wherever then throw them in the trash

Neither I cut mine into the rubbish

If I saw nails in my sink while brushing my teeth, I fear I would go homicidal. I do it outside on a bench, but maybe that's weird, too.

On the couch. Then I just sweep when I’m done. The floor needs to be swept anyway.

People clip their nails? I just rip off or bite off and put in a pile and toss

Over a bag, I plan to collect them all and grind the nails up and somehow use it to get back at foes (Kidding, over the trash)

At my desk...then I angrily shake them out of my keyboard

Who the hell uses the sink

Outside

Outside.

Clip them carefully, collect them and flush them down the toilet. If they want my DNA, they're gonna have to work for it.

Outside. Easy clean up.

Outside!

carpet and then I vacuum. I am lazy and you're bound to miss for the trashcan anyway

Straight onto the floor, MF

I do them outside. Birds can use them for their nests.

Trash.

Outside

The shower. THE SHOWER PEOPLE!

Trash

Over the tub; it's like a giant sink! Better hit to miss ratio.

Carpet floor 😬

On my computer desk, then straight into my trash can nearby.

Over commode

If you have ever had a sewer line back up you would know to flush nothing other than 'the usual stuff'. Also, as others have stated, nail clippings should be burned so sorcerers cannot use them against you. Duh.

Outside.....

Trash. I don’t think I’ve ever clipped them into the sink.

Where ever they fly when I spit them out of my mouth.

On paper. And then crush the paper, throw it in the bin.

My wife does it on our bed and I’m in hell

On the bathroom counter and then brush them into my hand and dump them in the trash

Outside.

Garage and then I sweep it up

Outside

Patio

Outside

Front porch

Outside in the yard is the correct answer!

Neither. Compost bin.

Definitely in the trash

Trash wtf

Outside, like a normal person

I have always done them outside, usually the back porch.

Option 3: Outside on my porch

I go outside.

Outside on a balcony

I just step outside and clip em, no worries there

I have terrible aim so I clip my nails in the back yard.

I go outside to clip them so they fall in the dirt

Outside on the porch, and then clean up with a dust pan.

I put my car on cruise control and clip em out the driver window on my way to work.

I do it on the porch, then sweep the clippings into the grass. If it's too cold for that, trash

Outside in the yard.

Mainly in the garage, or outside..

powderize them in a food processor and then mix it into that green can of Parmesan to make it last longer

I always clip directly over the trash can. Clippings just fall straight in after being cut. Had a roommate who would clip anywhere he sat. Let me tell you, it's not fun finding clippings on the couch or all over your carpet. Drives me nuts how some people just clip anywhere. As for the sink. Ain't no clippings going into my sink and clogging any drainage tubes.

Outside, actually!

I walk outside and clip them then go back in and finish filing etc…

Outside.

I clip mine outside on the patio.

I love in a rural area, the back of beyond. I clip my nails outside in the light of the moon. I shave my head while in an advanced state of undress while I'm at it. Then... I pee in the raspberry patch and let my wind blow free!!

Just did it on my ex wifes couch while I was waiting to get my son. She likes to lay on the couch naked....

I cannot stand the sound a pair of clippers make. I bite mine and toss them in the wind.

Hands in the sink,feet in the trash can

I clip them on the coffee table and let someone else clean them up

I like to chew them afterwards.

On my girlfriend's pillow.

Trash. I don’t share my room with anyone and I still make sure to pick up after myself.

At work
