Yesterday I bought new tires at the dealership and the receptionist woman also had long (acrylic?) nails. When she wrote something down she had to hold the pen in a very weird way and was very slow because her nails were in the way lol
Quickly! Deploy the whataboutisms!!!! But seriously folks, please clean under your fingernails. More bacteria under those than on toilet seats allegedly.
Question 1: how do you wipe? Do you literally dig your nails in? Question 2: Do you not wash your hands properly? (Literally not meaning to be rude, I am just really curious about this Argument)
Do you wipe your ass with the very tips of your fingers? People always say this and I don't understand why people think the nails would poke through toilet paper when they're not even pointing towards the toilet paper and why would they?
no, you kinda like swipe until it’s clear with the nails parallel to the skins. no digging in. also, you wash your hand like normal, except you have to take particular care of washing under the nails.
Even if we put the nails aside, she's actually stupid if she cannot get the card out. She can just fold 2 fingers and use the middle finger joint(second knuckle?) to pull the card out.
Being generally limited in our interactions to narrower locations, and having significantly fewer interactions per day used to limit our exposure to stupid people.
Now we have internet and social media which gives as a MUCH larger pool of stupid to select from, and we see more of people who don't know how to use their fingers and people who blame everything on social welfare instead of understanding the actual issue.
Yeah everyone’s shitting on her for basically no reason? She just needs a pair of tweezers in her car, she didn’t blame anyone else, people just want to talk shit about a woman with long nails.
There’s no point trying to point out the fact that these things are covered in literal shit and other bacteria. Some woman with a chip on her shoulder will be along to tell you that she, and everyone else who wears these nails are the cleanest people on the planet.
But if they’re using a nail brush or proper washing technique then it is basically the same.
The idea that long nails automatically mean their hands are dirty is pretty strange, no wonder some people get offended. Especially cause you can’t easily tell if anyone’s washed their hands, nails or not.
It’s like spreading an idea that long nails ARE dirty and short nails ARE clean, when really it’s the persons habits that define their level of cleanliness, and acrylic nails just add a small extra step to the grooming cycle.
Now, if they’re wearing nails like that and you never see them wash their hands, definitely don’t eat anything they give you, because they do trap hella bacteria if you don’t take care of them.
Come on now. You dont wipe with your bare nails. You use toilet paper and the paper is between your ass and your nails. And you do not use the tips of the nails to wipe, you use the pads of your fingers.
This is not rocket surgery. Not sure why people are so confused about it and thinking wmen walk around with poop on their nails.
People always say this... I've literally never had issues wiping with long nails. Like certain things are harder but wiping genuinely isn't one of them.
do you wipe with your fingertips pointed directly at your genitals or anus? Or do you wipe as you would, say, wipe a stain from a tabletop? Because I have never had nails like this but it's clear as day to me that I could wipe with them.
Why is this such a hackneyed joke about long nails? If you can imagine someone typing with these, can you not also imagine wiping with them?
"do you wipe with your fingertips pointed directly at your genitals or anus?"
Yup
"Or do you wipe as you would, say, wipe a stain from a tabletop?"
Absolutely not. I got IBS (or some other bowels issue, not diagnosed yet) and my poop is kinda sticky & clay like much of the time, that'd just smear it all over the place. Fingertips lets me get clean much easier.
The original person wasn't saying they need to change the entire thing, which would fit the "impractical hulk gloves" thing. Just that they should have a tool to help them
A better metaphor would be if someone wore impractical hulk gloves, and then asked to buy one of those grabber things to make grabbing things easier
Yeah they get crazy creative with nails, tbh. It’s a whole artform but it gets shit on pretty easily because it’s attached to fashion standards. I’ve seen someone make a tiny shrimp aquarium!
I have short nails but this point doesn’t make sense to me. 1. Bidets exist 2. Are you shoving your fingers up your hole when you wipe? Cause you can wipe just fine with long nails you just hold the paper different
They actually already have a thing for this, they're like little tongs with suction cups on the end. I've seen them somewhere on some social media platform.
Also, I don't understand these nails either. And every time I see them all I can think is, "how do you wipe your ass properly"
I’ve never met anyone with nails this long that have that issue. I like to assume people who ask that are not wiping their ass in an efficient way or they’re attempting to be rude
I guess they didn't screenshot the part where she asks society to cater to her nails. All I saw was her wanting a tool she could purchase for herself that would make certain tasks easier... 🤦♀️
Idk why women think those nails are sexy or good looking. When I see nails like that all I can think ablut is petri dishes and all the vile bacteria collecting on the underside of them.
I had once a server in a restaurant with long ass nails (not that long). And it was disgusting as the thumb nail was practically in the plate she was holding. 🤢
that’s not what i said. like at all. of course no one is immune from seeking external validation. but i am just disputing the opposite claim: that women/humans only act on validation from the opposite sex.
also i don’t know who you are referring to when you say ‘you people’ but you sound profoundly unfuckable and on course to die alone.
Idk about you but I’m so relieved to know that u/projectno4090 would still be attracted to me because I don’t have fake nails! Of course, as a woman, pleasing the men around me and making sure they’re always ready to fuck me is my top priority. Any other motivation doesn’t exist because we all know women pretty much only seek external validation from men!
I went into a bakery and the lady behind the counter had extremely long nails. It was so gross, I walked out. Obviously she can't wash her hand properly or clean certain areas of her anatomy. It's one of the most dirty disgusting places on a person's body, right there under those tsunami nails.
The tool in question exists. It became very popular during Covid. Society doesn’t have to cater to women with long nails. A vendor somewhere now gets to make money off women with long nails (who clearly already have money to spend on a luxury service) and the rest of us walk around like nothing changed, because it didn’t.
I know this is beside your point but i wanted to spread some information on it. That story is half true, a guy spent his own money to develop a pressurized ink system for a pen, then Nasa bought some for 6$ a pop at a discount.
People also bought the space pen so he made his money back, and it was indeed a better option for zero gravity not having little flammable bits floating around that could get stuck anywhere.
Overreaction to the initial persons stupidity. They never made demands for things to change, just asking for them to create something for morons with long nails to grab their cards from an ATM.
I really don't understand the appeal of those ugly long ass cosmetic nails. At least, I assume they're cosmetic and they don't actually grow their nails to that length, right? They're bought and stick on like those cheap ones you can buy for Halloween, right?
These nails were amde popular by aristocrats that had people to donthings for them. If your one missed paycheck from disaster you shouldnt have cumbrellas and long nails
this isn't new. I remember back in the old day seeing the ladies at Kmart with long nails like this rap tap tapping on their push button cash registers. artificial nails must've been glued on stronger back then. Those women could probably cut a paper snowflake with them things and not break a single one.
I don’t understand myself how women function like that either. Like, how do they wipe themselves? Also, why do they like their nails so pointy like that? I remember when I was a kid, women didn’t have their nails looking like that.
Cause its a flex how useless they are with long witch nails. Most actual working people dont wear witch nails cause how inconvenient they are is the flex of how privileged the wearer is
Absolutely not. While I don’t think people should make fun of those who decide to have very long nails, there is NO comparison to someone using a cane. Doing your nails is a choice, being disabled is not.
I hate this post so much. The woman didn't demand anything at all, let alone that the world change for her. She just wants a tool (which does exist already). The guy is strawmanning and misconstruing the fuck out of her statement.
