How many of you bite your nails when nail cutter is not available?

My nails are big enough and todays is wednesday. Hence I will cut them apart with no mercy. I am a cold blooded killer, who never uses his teeth to kill people. Teeth were the most effective weapon for old days females but I am not female and most importantly I am a cold blooded killer hence I will kill them with nail cutter and the good thing is that ther will not be a single drop of blood. ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Hello Bebs yes, I've been doing this before at my younger age. I stopped it when I found it on myself a mannerism. Whatever I would be doing that need focusing my hand automatically went to my mouth biting my nails. A sort of a comfort zone of mine. Another thing is that finger-biting habit can remove the enamel of your teeth that's why I refrain anymore from doing it..Nice topic...

I haven't tried that Bebs,not ever! LOL! I hate to see people doing that too but there are really who are use to do it even in public... I will not stop looking for nail cutter when I need it very badly and fortunately, we always have one in the house! LOL!

I would never bite my nails, who knows what's under those things? My older brother used to bite his and we put this stuff on them that made them taste terrible, he quit doing it for a while but I think its a mindless act.

No, I never engaged in nail biting even as a child! I never had that mannerism but my grandchildren are fond of that and I'd always hit their hands whenever I see them. I mean why eat the fingernails! Ha!ha!ha! No not really eating but it has become some sort unavoidable gesture on their part. One of my twins loves to bite his finger nail so I assigned the other twin to watch him all the time so he could be stopped from this habit.

Hey Bebs! You know, that is one thing I can honestly say that I never did! And that is really surprising! I never was a nail biter!lol And being that I am such a nervous person it is really strange that I never bit my nails! I always had long and strong and beautiful nails which I took very good care of and manicured myself and polished! But, sadly about two years ago they started to split and break and now won't grow long anymore and I don't know why! But, I keep trying to get them to grow and keep them manicured the best way I can hoping they will grow again and still keep them polished!

i have not done it on my self but i used to bite my kids fingernails(when they were less than 3 years of age)the nails are quite soft then and the nailcutter may sometimes injure them.

I used to do so in childhood. My mom was worried about it. I have outgrown this habit now. I no longer bite nails.

Hello Bebs. I don't bite my nails as I know it is not a good habit for me to do so. When there is no nail cutter available on the spot, I will just leave it till I find one elsewhere.

I hate to see anyone biting their fingernails. I have not done so myself. My daughter had the habit of biting her nails when she was a kid and I would give her a knock on her knuckles everytime she did that. She too has now started growing her nails.

The only time I've bit my fingernails is when I've broken one and you know how you always have that jagged edge on it, I've tried to fix it that way. As a child, I don't remember ever biting my fingernails, its not a good habit to have.

I bite my nails even when the nail cutter is available.I know it very bad habit but habit is habit bad or good..But now a days i m not biting my nails so much because i want to grow my nails n i m very dedicated to grow my nail..hope they grow well.otherwise i will again start biting them.

Nah I don't bite my finger nails off. I just let them grow and cut them with nailcutters. If there are no nail cutters, I go out and buy one. It's not nice biting nails and it could give you stomach diseases or finger wounds.

ewww no I dont, biting your nails is the equivelent to licking a toilet bown which Im pretty sure none of us will do!! I tell this fact to all nail biters and so far all of them have stopped biting their nails!! No I would rather just wait until a nail clipper is available!!!
