I have not cut my nails in almost 2 weeks, but it's not due to my laziness - really! Dad lost the only nail clipper in the house. Lame, right? So I had annoyingly long nails when I was in Cambodia, and I just couldn't stand it anymore. I took a pair of scissors and started cutting. The fact that I could very well cut off my fingers didn't scare me. On the contrary, it was impossible to get it close enough so I was cutting my nails, but not really cutting it much.
But I thought, 2mm off is better than letting it grow. So I did my left hand and then proceeded to my right. That's when I realize that I am a right-hander. I am practically disabled when using my left hand to co-ordinate and exert controlled amounts of pressure. I was left with not using enough power to cut anything, or using too much power which will leave me with 5 less fingers.
I aborted the operation. Luckily I did not end up with inbalanced fingernail length. That would be more of an embarrassment than ripping someone's hand off when I shake it.
Aiyoh... if no nail clipper go and buy one for personal use la... Lucky you did not resort to chewing your excess nails off.
ReplyDeleteI do have one back in Nilai. But as I am so stingy I wouldn't buy a new one now.
ReplyDeleteAnd lemme guess, you blame your stinginess on genes? *grin*
ReplyDeleteHaha well you know me quite well now, don't you?
ReplyDeleteI don't blame genes, but upbringing
I don't claim to know you like the back of my hand, but I see a pattern emerging. :P. But then, as you said before, your online persona and real-life persona is different. Genes may play the "kecenderungan" factor.
