OMG picking up change with long nails what a nightmare :lol:
For a while I worked in a small local store & that was probably the closest I ever came to assaulting a member of the public. Our checkout till had a little lip all around the edge that made it impossible to slide coins off into your hand, so once they hit the flat I was scuppered. I would hold out my hand to every customer as I told them the total but never ceased to amaze me how many times they ignored it & threw a hand full of coins onto the till. They would then stand & watch me struggle to pick every last bit up .......... then usually right at the end say "not easy with those nails I bet!" ........... whilst counting to ten with my best fake smile I'd reply "no, its a lot easier when people hand me the money" :lol:
I have theories on lots of thing being designed by men in this world as you just CAN'T get them open easily with nails, like DVD cases where you have to press the middle to release the DVD ....... aaaarrrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhh!!!!! not easy when your nail meets the DVD BEFORE your finger meets the middle, thank god for knuckes :lol:
