I have the bad habit of picking my nose so I refrain from biting my nails

I used to bite nails when I was younger, but then I heard nails were really dirty so I stopped.
i bite my nails so i dont need to use the scissors.
I bite my nails consistently. If my fingers aren't occupied by a game controller, keyboard, pen/pencil or food I bite my nails.
I also chew my lips, though I try to cut down on that because it gets painful after a while.
But nails yeah, every day. Can't help it!
I fail to see the big problem. I bite them when standing on the tube, at the dinner table, sitting in front of my computer, watching TV, talking to friends...
And to some extent the skin around my nails. Just on the tips of my fingers. I bite there too.
Chopping boards have more germs (and dangerous ones) than most places in a house.
Interestingly this is discussed in Lord of the Rings interviews. Elijah Wood bit his nails on set and didn't have them manicured etc for when filming began. Ian Mckellen noticed and confronted him about it asking him if he was not embarrassed that everyone would know he bit his nails. Elijah was apparently really confused and answered "No, why would I be?"

Broke myself of the habit when I started learning guitar.

Sometimes when I'm bored. I used to bite my nails a lot, but that was a few years ago.
Sometimes.
I used to bite my nails all the time, but I got rid of that habit when I got braces. I've been without braces for ten years now, and I haven't gone back to fulltime nail-biting. Thank god. :P
Yes, I do. And I have the immune system to prove it too.
The human mouth is actually filled with bacteria. A dog's mouth on the other hand is pretty clean. Not sure about the term, and I know cats got more of it, but I remember they got something in their saliva that kills the bacteria? Cats since they kinda depend on cleaning themselves with their tongues, and most other carnivours because they eat raw meat etc.
I bite my nails on rare occasions. I never do it in public. Not because of other people seeing it, but because at home it's my bacteria and I wash my hands often(I draw/paint so kinda have to). Not so fond of other peoples bacteria :P
Yep, everywhere and anywhere
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Only after i have had a shower, its better than using nail clippers that you can never find.
No when I do, I bite em off too short that is annoying for 2 days straight so no
I bite them to cut my nails when they get too long, screw a nailclipper
Also:
Amen to this brother, man up and walk it off you pussies :P
