Isn’t it just gross??
I can’t tell you how disgusting it looks. I wish I could understand why people do it. And I further wish I could understand why people make zero efforts to stop once they are told how gross it is.
ugh!
A sign of anxiety...

Muzna,
I think many people dont notice that they bite their nails as often as they do. I would suggest you asking the person (if they are your friend) to videotape them while at a gathering, and while they bite their nails during it. It should be an eye-opener, and hopefully they will realize its not a good habit and bad for the nails.
I used to think I didnt weigh that much, eventhough I had gained so much weight. Then one day my brother decided to videotape me and take a few snapshots while I was eating food. The absolute horror I saw on the screen/photograph made me realize what a serious problem I had. I wanted to faint. I couldnt believe what I saw. I am glad he brought it to my attention in that manner, because nothing else was working. hehe. smile
Some ppl do it when they’re bored or thinking as well. Just like men do other ewww stuff while waiting at a traffic signal. What a horrible habit.
My younger sister and bro bite their nails, usually you just have to say their names and they automatically stop :)

Reminds me of my days of nail biting. Yep, I had this gross habit too. My mom used to do that to make me stop. I remember even being hit on my hands by people around me to make me stop.
I still do it unconsciously once in a while, but it's not a 'habit' anymore.
utterly dispicable!
What about nose picking, so many ppl I've seen in airplanes or other long period waiting session occassions picking at their noses. Just makes u completely disgusted!
I find nose picking worse actually :D
I have a habit of scratching my neck…someone told me it was very distracting and looked kinda cheap
