Watching the footie.
He doesn’t even support either team

WTF is all that about?

Welll at least he didn't BITE them off Wink
Small mercies 'n' all that .

JaneJeffer · 10/06/2023 23:56

Completely off?

NewPinkJacket · 10/06/2023 23:59

Mumsnet is definitely the best place to ask, rather than asking him.

KnickerlessParsons · 11/06/2023 00:24

At least he can still reach his toenails.

WellPlaced · 11/06/2023 23:14

Completely off

Ah, but he doesn’t know why @NewPinkJacket

Did you not suggest he stop after you saw him pull the fist couple off?

WellPlaced · 11/06/2023 23:17

He’s always done it.
Always picking

Completely off?! Was he not in agony?! Why didn’t he stop after the first one!

WellPlaced · 11/06/2023 23:18

Anyway, I thought someone else may do similar and be able to explain why.

I suspect it’s stress related

Why would you sit there and look at that? I'd find it completely gross. I'd also struggle to find attractive ever again,

WellPlaced · 11/06/2023 23:20

It was mostly just the ends, which is normal for him, but 2 of them are completely off

That can’t be normal though. Nails are supposed to be pretty firmly attached aren’t they? Has he peeled off a layer or pulled them away from the nail bed?

That's a dodgy misspelling.

chrystlha · 11/06/2023 23:45

That's a well-known form of effective torture so is he a masochist?

TheChosenTwo · 12/06/2023 00:01

It must be incredibly painful to rip your nails totally off 😵

Luckingfovely · 12/06/2023 00:06

If this is true, which seems unlikely, he must have significant health problems that the nails fall away that easily, or severe mental health problems that allow him to inflict that much pain on himself.

🤣

Op - pulling toenails out is a torture method,are you sure there's nothing left?

007DoubleOSeven · 12/06/2023 01:31

And please...no photos

Deathbyfluffy · 12/06/2023 01:37

I call BS

Ellie450 · 12/06/2023 02:15

There would be quite a bit of blood if he was actually removing the entire nail.

Dalekjastninerels · 12/06/2023 02:29

OP
OMG 😮I'd be so calling whoever you call Ambulance? Police? when someone goes insane because someone doing this would make me think insanity/mentally unwell/psychiatric disability and I'd be 😮
