Hygiene Tips Everyone Should Follow

#29: Nail Clipping Etiquette

Here’s a hygiene tip circulating on Reddit recently: trim your nails! Unless you’re some kind of guitar virtuoso shredding your way to rock stardom, there’s no excuse for walking around with sharp claws. It’s not only unsightly (and possibly a dealbreaker for anyone who catches a glimpse of your nails), but it’s also just plain unhygienic.

Consider this: all sorts of dirt and grime can accumulate beneath our nails, and it’s not easy to clean them thoroughly. So, if you fall into this category (no judgment here), do yourself a favor and grab some nail clippers, pronto. Your fingers – and anyone who has to shake hands with you – will greatly appreciate it.
