101 Nails

First of all, it is not Nails 101. It is Nail 101. But, they should rename this place Unhappy Nail. I don't require a circus act but signs of life should be a minimum standard.

The unsmiling man filled up a foot bath with cold water and asked me if it was too hot. Then, a woman I assume is/was his wife, spent a quiet 15 minutes cutting my toenails with a cuticle nipper and painted them. All different shapes and lengths. I asked if she intended to shape the nails and she made a grunting noise and walked away.

I've now been sitting in the chair now for going on 20 minutes and nobody has said a word. Am I finished? Shall I go? Am I being charged for a cold soak and clipping? I don't know. I'd almost come back here just because the gross lack of personality and service is fairly comical.

I'm not sure what to do. Tempted to run out the door barefoot but they might call the cops and this is WyCo. Cops up in here don't play around. Plus I'd get my feet dirty.

Anyway. 25 minutes and holding here. I've not been further acknowledged. My nails are dry. All ten misshapen hooves. I'm bolting. Let you know how it goes.

In the meantime, don't even come here as a last resort. Just cut your own nails. With a clipper.
