Ok, straight up, this is a friend's story, told last night at dinner. And there were some conflicting feelings about whether or not she was the asshole.

Yesterday, my friend remarked to a coworker that she had a hanging nail and was glad she had her nail clippers to take care of it. Coworker B was walking by and overheard. Coworker B walked into friend's cubicle and demand she NOT clip her nails at work because that was disgusting. Coworker B then retreats back to her cubicle on the other side of the floor.

&amp;#x200B;

My friend then clips her hanging nail in her own cubicle. And then clipped two more to "even things out".  She then receives a text message from Coworker B that she could hear her clipping her nails from over 100 feet away. And it was absolutely disgusting. And why would anyone do something so gross in a public place.

&amp;#x200B;

My friend responded, "chill out".

So... Is clipping your fingernails at work as asshole thing to do? This is where the debate started last night- is it super gross as coworker B feels, or is it fine?  Is my friend the asshole?
