Guess it depends on where you go and how expensive. \n\nTypically, at a place like Supercuts maybe a dollar or two should be fine.  If its a more professional shop and they use scissors maybe up to $5.  Though if I think about it the same percent you'd tip a waitress might be fine.

It is customary to tip 15-20% for any services. It does not matter if it is $10 or $200 there is not a flat dollar amount. It is no different than tipping when you go out to eat. If the service is $90 and is great you would tip $18 if it's good tip $13.50 if it's bad use your discretion. Especially if you go to the same hairdresser regularly. This way they will get you an appt in a pinch or take special attention to your requests.

There are nail biting deterrents in the form of fingernail polishes.  They have natural ingredients that form a bitter taste when ingested.  If your will power is great enough to keep your nails coated in the special polish, then you won't bite them anymore because of the horrible taste they'll leave behind.\n\nYou can do any internet product search for nail bite (biting) deterrents, or probably find products available at a beauty supply store.

Yes, it would be quite rude to serve anything that you yourself would not eat or drink unless you have a known problem with the dish or drink (recovering alcoholic or allergic to the food).Then again, if you had an aversion to something it would be understood if you did not serve it to anyone.\n\nSo yes, you really need to consume at least a little of whatever it is that you are serving to your guests for proper etiquette.

I'll sock it to you. Toerags are welly good. Tendon well, shoe you care, take them toe a doctor and foot the bill. It's no mean feet and don't get plastered yourself.\nFootnote: Have i put my foot in it? Hope i'm not treading on your toes.

I don't know if you could say that they are IN or OUT. I think it's just a matter of taste. Some people like them and some people don't. I personally like them as long as they don't look tacky or cheap. I always get my nails done, but I don't like them very long or the wild colors. I've seen a lot of women who get them obscenely long...makes me wonder how they wipe their a**.

Yes, you need to see a doctor. The nail is dead and you may infect your toe if you are not careful. Do not dig at it you might cause further damage

Do not cute your nails too short.  Let them grow a little.\nDo noPrevention\n\nTo help prevent an ingrown toenail:\n\nTrim your toenails straight across. Don't curve your nails to match the shape of the front of your toe. If you have your toenails done at a nail salon, be sure to tell your pedicurist to trim your nails straight across. If you have circulation problems in your feet from disorders such as diabetes or peripheral vascular disease, see a podiatrist regularly to have your nails professionally trimmed. \nKeep toenails at a moderate length. Trim toenails so that they're even with the tips of your toes. If you trim your toenails too short, the pressure from your shoes on your toes' tissue may direct your nails to grow into the tissue. \nWear shoes that fit properly. Shoes that place excessive pressure on your toes or pinch your toes may cause your nails to grow into surrounding tissue. If you have nerve impairment to your feet, you may not be able to sense if your shoes fit too tightly. Take care to buy and wear properly fitted shoes, preferably from a shoe store specializing in fitting shoes for people with foot problems. \nWear protective footwear. If your work puts you at risk of injuring your toes, buy footwear such as steel-toed shoes, which protect your toes. \n\n I've had to get an ingrown toenail removed before.  I used to bite my toenails and tear them off.  I've had to do my own getting rid of toenails too.  I don't get them anymore because I let them grow and then cut them, no more tearing.\nHope this helps.

Of course it's not polite.\n\nThey love to play capture the flag, ask them.\n\nJust don't bother Bubba the cook, he's upset because one of his teeth fell out and he thinks it went into one of the pizzas. He's afraid this will affect his chance of winning "employee of the week"\n.\n*that was the last tooth he had!!!

As long as it's done discreetly, and you do not throw your used tissues on the ground, it should be ok.  Saying a quick "excuse me" is nice if people can see or hear.\n\nAnd it is never ok to do it at a table in a restaurant if other people can see or hear, that is just being nasty.

Keep your nail very short so there is nothing to bite.

Go to a salon to have a pedicure and when they see your extra toe nail just ask them, "Is this going to be extra?"

You guys are unbelievable. I can't believe you all are answering questions in the Etiquette area.\n\nSometimes, you just have to put up with listening to stuff you don't want to hear.  Politely excuse yourself, period.  Tell them you have to go.\n\nBeing rude will net you nothing but another enemy. There's no reason for that - you never know when the person you're talking to now will appear again in your life -- maybe a boss, a co-worker, or a friend's friend, or worse, a waitress or waiter who has the ability and opportunity to spit in your food.  It's always a good idea to be polite to everyone, and it's just the right thing to do.

Miss Manners says that it comes out the way it went in; so, if you put the cherry/fish/olive/whatever into your mouth with your fingers, take the pit/bone/pit/whatever out with your fingers, and if you put it in with a fork, take it out with a fork.\n\nWhen in doubt, if you are a guest, wait until your host/ess does it and emulate.
