Wait until you get old brother, apparently all zen energy you need to grow your hair transfers to your toe nails and finger nails and you only need haircuts once every other month but toenails clipped weekly

Yeah, that's true. I used to not worry about it ever, just clip them every month or so.

Then one night, I tore the sheets sliding into bed , and realized "damn, them some big motherfrickers".

It’s just easier to let them fall off. Finger nails is a different story since visible.

About every 2 weeks. When I look down before a shower and I notice they’ve grown a bit, I clip them real quick. Probably about every 2 weeks. I don’t let them get long at all.

I bet you're fat aren't you? Probably don't clip them because you can barely reach them.

For me, once a month is probably the interval.

On a related note, I have a friend who's grandfather saved all of his fingernail and toenail clippings in Country Crock tubs. He had been doing it his whole life and lined them up on a shelf in the garage. The dude had like 70+ years of clippings just sitting up there in several butter tubs.

It was so weird that the family was scared to ask him why.

I have to get mine done every 2 weeks bc of tennis. Otherwise, I end up with bruises under the nail or, worse, losing the toenail from the sharp starts and stops in running.

I don't ever clip mine, technically speaking, as I don't use a nail clipper. The nails are pretty soft when I get out of the shower and can just peel any excess nail off as I'm putting my socks on.

I’m prone to ingrown toenails, so as little as possible. I usually have to throw in the towel when I’m doing yoga and they start grossing me out.

Also when my socks start turning into Swiss cheese.

This is a very valid point to consider.

A long, unsightly toenail is worlds better than an infected ingrown nail, especially if you have to cut and pull that puppy out.
