You have to make sure you are doing it into a bag or something. Fine if, not if clippings or dust going everywhere.

If you’ve written it wrong and actually meant trimming her pubes, then grim.

Quickly and discreetly filing a snagged fingernail is ok with me.

Flossing your teeth in the breakfast queue of the overnight ferry is not ok. Bits flying everywhere and I felt one land on my cheek. 🤮

But she wasn’t “being quick or discreet.”

As I said in the OP, she was really going at it. The dust was going all over her lap, seat and the floor.

Yuck.

Filing nails doesn't bother me too much. The one that got me was watching a mother pick headlice from her adult daughter's hair and wipe them on the train seat.

I’ve been known to do this, only because if I don’t smooth it straight away then I’ll pick at the snaggy nail and make it shorter and shorter t I have no nail left. But I try and be at neat as I can about it!

YABU. Nothing wrong with filing your nails. Confused

Couldn't care less tbh. It's only the same stuff as skin. Do you flinch when someone rubs their arm? Just imagine all those loose dead skin cells being rubbed off and then floating around in the air that you're going to breathe in Shock 🤢 I'm assuming that no, you probably don't. Someone filing their nails is no different so just look the other way.
