Let's talk about something serious. How fucking annoying are the nails to cut on the tiniest little piggies. The others no problems. I just whack my feet on the bath and cut away but the little ones I have to sit on the floor, position my feet at a weird angle and cut because they want to curl around my toe. Evolution has a way to go yet. Not looking forward to getting old.

It’s the hardest one to chew, too.

I reckon the big ones harder. You need sharpened teeth for those.

Hot tip for anyone with tough toe nails. Chop them straight after showering. Soaking in water makes them a bit softer and they will be easier to cut.

speak for yourself, my little piggies are the easiest.

I just do my pinkies cross legged with my feet upside down

I've tried that but I find it odd.

The Vietnamese ladies I pay don't seem to have any issues cutting them
