the Dilbert website for a while offered a screen saver that had annoying office sounds. Clipping toenails was one, slurping a drink was another, as were cracking both peanuts and knuckles.
I have four thoughts.
1. She/he/they are not doing it in front of you, they're doing it in their own cube
2. Toenails and fingernails have to be the most inert substance in the world, they will not hurt you. To that end, they're not even exposing you to their 'horrible' toenails...they're throwing them directly in the trash.
3. If you are the only one out of an office of several people that all clip their nails at work, has it occurred to you that, just based on YOUR description, it IS acceptable to clip your nails at work? If multiple people do it, than you're the oddball, not them.
4. Since it's really just the noise that's bothering you, just get an I-Pod or some good headphones and deal with it.
