Today, I found out that some men think it's OK to clip their fingernails at the table, in a restaurant, on a first date. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I went on a first date with a guy. As soon as we sat down at the restaurant, he immediately snatched my menu and said "You're having salad." FML
Today, I dropped some food on the floor and picked it back up, took a bite, and quickly realised it had toenail cuttings in it. I never cut my toenails in my dining room. FML
Today, I went on a date with someone I really like. Midway through dinner, I felt something stuck in my teeth and, trying to be discreet, attempted to remove it. In the process, I flicked a piece of food across the table and it landed in his drink. He looked at it, then at me, then sighed. FML
Today, I went out for a smoke before dinner. I glanced through the window only to see my husband take my cooking scissors, cut his toe nails and then put them back in the utensils canister without washing them. FML
Today, the woman giving me a manicure found a booger under one of my fingernails. FML
Today, I walked into my bedroom to find my boyfriend clipping his toe nails into my pillow case. FML
Today, I went to dinner to meet my boyfriend's parents for the first time. I received a text message, so I pulled out my phone to check. Apparently, his parents have a "No phones at the table rule" and took my phone away until I could learn "proper table manners." FML
Today, I was on a first date and tried to playfully flick a fry at him. It missed, hit a waiter in the face, and he dropped an entire tray of drinks onto an elderly couple. My date laughed, then excused himself to the bathroom… and never came back. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy who insisted on eating off my plate the whole night. He didn't order his own food, because according to him, "it’s more intimate to share." He didn’t get why I found the whole deal off-putting. FML
Today, I went to a restaurant for a second date. As we were eating, a piece of food got stuck in my teeth. I tried to discreetly remove it, but ended up spitting it across the table and onto my date's glasses. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least he wasn't using a Pedegg on his feet and dumping the shavings into the food.

Yes, but, talking like this, does not suddenly, make this story, worse than it is.

He clipped his nails on your first date together!! OMG that's totally something for the second date -dump him. -Seriously, it didn't matter if it was a man or a woman that's just disgusting to do around food especially in a restaurant. He even thought ahead about bringing a nail cnipper..

Did he pay for your dinner? Then he can do WTF he wants.

WTF does that have to do with anything?! It was a disgusting, rude, nasty thing he did that he should have known to not do in a restaurant. Paying (or not) for the meal has nothing to do with whether or not it's ok to act like an inconsiderate slob.
