Lee Cringe-On Nails!

Oh ick, ick, ick.
PeaceBang went to Office Max today to Fed Ex her passport renewal (super- expedited for buckets of money, my own stupid fault) and the kid behind the counter just grossed her way on out with long, thick fingernails, none too clean.

ICK!! Is there any grooming detail that evokes such an instant negative visceral reaction as men’s long, dirty fingernails? This young man also had dandruff going for him and a really nifty talent for coughing all over my materials. He carressed my debit card with his germy hands as though making a special effort to infect me with his crud, causing me to take out a handi-wipe and clean it immediately (with a smile! I don’t want that passport renewal getting “lost” in the mail!).

Also charming? His negative, sarcastic banter about a job-in-progress with another unkempt (female) employee behind the counter who sported 4″ sparkly gold fingernails and a greasy high ponytail that could have used a serious trim. What these two lacked in good grooming they made up for in arrogance.

1. Keep those nails clean.
2. Don’t let the customers hear you griping about work. We’re lucky to have a job, those of us that got ’em.
