Do you judge people who have dirt under their fingernails?

[ElektraLOL]

I do - I really dislike it whether it's a man or a woman. Even if it's only a tiny bit!

I never look closely enough at peoples nails to notice.

It depends - if they're a farmer or a gardener or someone else who gets their hands dirty at work, then no, of course not. If they're sitting opposite me in a restaurant, then yes!

Oh god yes!

No! It probably just means they love gardening. I honestly wouldn't care at all (unless it was accompanied by stinky breath and terrible BO).

I agree with you OP. Nail brushes are really cheap.

Yes, unless they work outside.

You judge them as what? Dirty? work with their hands?

Well at least no one can judge me for this, my nails are chewed to the quick.

No because despite cleaning my fingernails several times a day I always seem to have dirt under them. I’ve no idea where it bloody comes from, I don’t even have a manual job. I hate fake nails though because I know although they look really nice at the front they’re usually filthy at the back because you can’t see the dirt. It puts me right off of getting them.

nail brushes aren't good for your nail bed they can damage the skin underneath and spread infection.

No

You wouldn't think much of me then - clue's in the name.......

what do you think it says about a person?

There are many fine reasons for having dirty under your nails. My father was a builder and once went to his bank to make a deposit, it was the 1970's. The bank refused to serve him in his state having just left a job. He demanded all his money out on cash there on the spot. It was thousands. I always remember this when I feel tempted to judge.

Makes me gip, if I'm honest.

I wouldn’t like them to stick their finger in my mouth, but judge them? No...

gamerwidow my nails are the same, a beautician friend told me some people have low or loose nail beds and it's just some are more prone to collecting daily stuff!!

No, and I prefer them to nicotine stains or long talons.

Yes- instantly. It’s a pet hate

My husband is a MechNic..Cars to be precise, even tho he showers daily, there is still a small residue left, even with a nail brush..
what do you suggest he does exactly?

Yes, unless it is obviously from gardening or work. General filth makes me gag.

Cleaning under you nails all the time makes the problem worse! You open up the gap so more dirt gets trapped.

Not if they have a dirty job like gardener or engineer. Any other adult - yes, although you hardly see it these days? So many manual jobs gone .

No, wouldn’t judge but if you can see the dirt you at least know they’re dirty.

False nails and long nails on the other hand ( especially varnished) may look clean and well groomed but are more than likely absolutely filthy.

Someone once said "oooh you've got hardworking hands" after shaking my hand. I took it as a complement
