What’s your favorite method for clipping your nails?

I know all of you OT’ers have servants, so there is no need to do such menial tasks.
But on the rare occasion that you do, where do you do it and how do you collect the clippings?

I usually do it in the kitchen over a piece of newspaper to catch all of them. I know a guy who clips them in the sink and washes them down. I find it to be very weird. Lol. I know another dude who does it outside and just pushes it all off into the grass. Also, I never file my nails off after cutting them.

Why are you having so many conversations with guys about clipping their nails?

Sit outside on the porch and clip with a toe nail clipper (I have some hard-arse nails). Then I watch the ants carry off the clippings.

I do them over the sink and wash them down. Toenails over the toilet and flush them.

I generally put the waste basket on the counter in the bathroom...I clip them after a shower when they are soft and they don't fly all over the place.

I work with a nasty bastard that does this. Clips them on his desk top and then rakes them into the desk drawer.

I had an honors class at LSU. Several professors taught the class. During one lecture, the philosophy prof starts clipping his toenails while the other prof was lecturing. It was a WTF moment. I still remember the toenail clipper's name

Worse than nails on a chalkboard. Had an old man that used to do this in the office twice a week. Could hear it clear across the building. Eventually had to go ask him to groom himself in the privacy of his home. He happily obliged.

I’m white trash. I enjoy tearing them off with my other fingernails throw them on the carpet rug and let them wife vacuum them later.

OP, you know they make them toe/finger nail clippers that can catch the clippings. Just cut as normal and then dump out the catchings after every other toe/finger.
