Stepping on s
omeone else’s sharp, jabby toenail shard is a painful and disgusting moment. Basically, it has the same creep-out factor as poking a dead bee laying in your windowsill or accidentally crushing a hollow, dusty skull on your tour through the catacombs.
Now, on the other hand, when your toenail suddenly blasts off into outer living room and you manage to find that nearly invisible sucker hiding in the shaggy carpet, well that’s a pretty great feeling.
Good work, Sherlock Toenail.
You cracked the case.
AWESOME!

Yeah, I agree with shaquelia. This one is just weird.

lol, I think you are going to be “odd man out” on this one.

OMG I am so happy that someone else admits to this quandry!

I’m afraid to admit that this happened to me about 15 minutes ago, before I checked the site, because it will seem like I’m making this up. I honestly am not.
And it certainly is awesome!

Melissa, 1000 Awesome Things knows you and love you.

I do feel glad whenever I spot one that jumped. Mind you, this is especially hard to do with white tile floors!

Amen, sister. That’s why I always cut my toenails on top of a dark pillowcase or granite kitchen countertop.

Put your foot on the rim of the tub and chop them there. Most of them wind up in the tub – easy to search and destroy =D

Truly disgusting…….and made me laugh!

AWKWAR-…I mean, AWESOME!

Most awesome indeed.

LOL!!! This is the funniest one yet!!!

I remember one time when my father-in-law was visiting us, and we walked in on him cutting his toe nails ON OUR BED!!! WTF?!?!?!?!?
One of the more dry-heave-inducing moments I can ever remember.
Barf.
But this post is AWESOME!

Ha ha! What did you say? This story needs some closure, Freddo. I imagine it was a pretty funny exchange.
You: “D-dad?”
Him: (keeps clipping on your pillow)
You: “Please…. no…. ”
Him: (looks you straight at the eye, squints a bit, and keeps clicking)

I don’t think I said anything.. I was horrified and permanently scarred. I left my wife to deal with it.
To this day, neither of us can pull out a pair of nail clippers without one of us saying: “REMEMBER WHEN…” followed by the sound of me dry heaving.

Oh Neil, that is one of your funniest. I actually have a similar problem with fake fingernails. They can end up in the strangest places and sadly you do not find them for days if at all…….not awesome! Thanks!
January 30, 2010 at 10:29 am
Fake fingernails! Good point, Cheryl. I remember finding one of those in my dentist’s waiting room when I was a kid and being totally fascinated with it. I think I was playing with this shiny, plastic thing for a while before somebody clued me in.
Felt a bit disgusting afterwards.

Bit creepy but c’mon, it’s true! Who wants to step on someone else’s toe nail slice?? Or have a pet eat it. Ugh.
January 30, 2010 at 10:28 am
“Rusty… what you got in your mouth there, boy?”
January 29, 2010 at 10:30 pm
lol :)
January 30, 2010 at 10:32 am
I hate when people do it in the living room. I do mine in the bathroom.
January 30, 2010 at 12:54 pm
Yuck and funny…how can that be? I’m showing this to my husband when he gets home.
January 30, 2010 at 8:16 pm
Yeah, I agree with shaquelia too
January 30, 2010 at 11:59 pm
Where the heck are you clipping your nails? A dinner party?
:)
February 1, 2010 at 1:23 am
I remember one time my dad was making supper, and accidentally cut part of his fingernail off. It was only when my older sister stopped eating her rice mid chew, that we realized where the nail shard ended up. We killed ourselves laughing….except my sister. :D
February 1, 2010 at 8:24 am
This is my first visit to your blog. Hahahaha….you sure know how to make a first impression!
February 2, 2010 at 12:33 pm
OUCH…nailed that one.
February 9, 2010 at 12:09 am
Am I the only one who has actually (accidentally) crushed a dusty skull in a catacomb?
Gotta love those old Parisians and their Plauge riddled bones!!

I just tried to grab the RSS Feed for your blog but it is not properly showing up in Google Chrome. Does anyone have any ideas?
