This is an oddly specific question for a legitimate polling place to ask . . . When you clip your fingernails or toenails, what do you do with those clippings when you’re done?
The polling outfit YouGov asked 5,000 Americans. And 3% admitted they just let them fall where they may and LEAVE them there.
Here are the top five things we do with our fingernail clippings . . .
1. Throw them in the trash, 73%. That’s the correct answer.
2. Flush them, 7%. Fine.
3. Throw them outside, 5%. A little weird, but okay.
4. Toss them in the sink, 3%. Also weird, but fine.
5. “I leave them where they fall,” 3%.
Young people and MEN were a little more likely to say they leave them where they fall, which isn’t shocking.
4% said they never clip their nails. So they’re either biters, go to the nail salon all the time, or they’re going for a Guinness World Record.
For the rest of us: The average person clips their fingernails every week or two. Two weeks was the most common answer.
The most common place to do it is in the bathroom, 40%. Bedroom is next at 23%. Then living room, 13%, outside, 8%, and 2% of us clip our nails in the kitchen. (Hopefully those are “sink” people and not “fall where they may” people.)
