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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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.

Your life sucks. Seriously, who cares if he wants to clip his fingernails? I don't understand how that's disgusting. Some people don't even trim their fingernails, at least he is clipping them. And if I was him, I'd clip mine wherever the **** I wanted to.

It's disgusting when a fingernail flies into someone's food. There are certain things that you don't do in a restaurant; clipping your nails is one of them. It's not solely due to politeness. It's common sense. :/

Maybe i'm crazy but when i clip my fingernails with a clipper they don't fly anywhere... As long as he doesn't do anything gross with the clippings i don't see a problem. Personally i'd have clipped them at home or in the bathroom of the restaurant if i was running late. but provided he had clipped them onto a napkin, before food arrived, and then tossed it i see nothing wrong with clipping off your nails at a table...

Ha! I used to go to church with a lady who would clip her fingernails every week during communion. After months of this, the pastor asked her to stop and she left the church!

Oh my... He probably read it on some kind of 'what to do to scare your lousy date away' list, 'cause, seriously, no one can actually do this, right?
