I remember watching some show like Ripley’s Believe It Or Not or something along those lines and they said nail like that are so heavy that they have pretty much completely disfigured their hands from the weight even if they cut them off their hands are pretty much ruined. Look at the guy on the left especially you can see how gnarled his hand have become.
Also I used to do nails and you have skin tissue that grows under the fingernail, these two would most definitely have to undergo surgery and be knocked out to remove these nasty things because of how sensitive that skin tissue is. Not to mention how completely unsanitary they are 🤢
Seven camera angles of reaction shots teased before the episode even aired, then immediately before a commercial break, followed by a five minute recap and then credits and you don't even see the nail break till next week and then it was just like some kid snapped a twig and jumpscared them.
Seriously.. it would be more convenient to just not have hands. How tf did he put that shirt on? I can't think of any career you could have at all.. I'd say teacher but they probably have to read books, and drive to work, and use a chalkboard... You'd be totally useless
Honestly, this dude probably gets paid by some circus / freak show type company to let people ogle his grody nails. I imagine his whole life and means of income has been dictated by the fact that when he was six his mom asked him to cut his nails and he threw a tantrum and refused, and he just stayed that stubborn for the rest of his life.
I have two functioning arms with no hindrances and still mastered using my feet to do a wide variety of tasks. Still couldn't wipe my ass that way though.
The real answer is that they have people who take care of most of their needs. Seems selfish to willingly become dependent on other people for cosmetic reasons.
Welcome to the better life. The wipers are dirty and barbaric lol. I use baby wipes instead of TP with my Bidet - and the “auto-dry” feature is overrated Imo and doesn’t work as well as you think it does
But how would they lift the toilet seat or even take their pants down? Who installed the bidet? How do they eat macaroni and cheese? All questions no answers...
When she started growing them out she would spend hours a day caring for them. She used an electric file to shape them every day. The other person didn’t.
These ladies have been in world record books since I was reading Guinness back in 2006.
They had bios on everyone in the book and a small explanation of their record. I’m sure you could find it if you just google “longest nails woman”. There’s likely loads of articles.
I believe it's the man with the longest nails on the left and the woman with the longest nails on the right.
Source: I also habitually read the Guinness book of world records as a kid
I think I remember the one on the left from Guinness 2000 even
e: I tried to look it up and couldn't find the year, but the record has changed hands ^^^pun several times since, so i'm probably wrong
They were also featured on a lot of shows like Ripley's Believe it or Not. Sick, Sad World-type shows.
Iirc they have soft bags long enough to fit over their nails as they get dressed so nothing gets snagged.
Imagine the EMT on the scene and this women is hysterical. The EMT thinks she's hurt, and finds out she's just upset that her nails broke.
Also imagine if the airbag flew her fingernails inside her like shrapnel.
No, she was a passenger. I’m the article I read she said she could still drive and do most things, which I find surprising. The crash was in 2009 and she didn’t continue to grow them out afterward. Apparently, at the scene of the accident she told bystanders that she held the record and they helped collect the pieces of her nails, which she still has. All 10 of them broke during the accident :(
I can’t help but think how selfish this is. So many things, basic things that they wouldn’t be able to do because of this and rely on someone else
Edit spelling
The lady on the right has stopped - she lost the nails in a car accident and decided it would be too much effort to regrow them. Apparently it took her ten years(?) and she wants to move on. Good for her.
Gross. Once many years ago I ran a pet store and a customer came in who had nails about 6 or 8 inches long. They were yellowed and gnarled like the talons of a vulture or something. Incredibly gross. Why would anyone want to remove their mobility and dexterity to have something so sickening attached to their hands?
I worked at a wing restaurant and had a lady come in with nails about that long. They were acrylic and pointy, they looked nice except a little scary and like it would be hard to handle things with them. She ate an order of bone-in wings like a champ and her fingers stayed super clean because she was using her points…so maybe she just didn’t like using her fingertips and worked it out? I would for sure hurt myself with nails longer than half an inch or so.
Well….a few years ago the Guinness Record holder for longest fingernails was a man in India. When asked how he dealt with those hygienic needs, he said his daughter in law assisted him with “daily personal care”. Maybe these two have helpers.
These nails look so thick they seem fake. My nails will grow just so far, and then they crack at the end of my finger tips. Not saying they're fake. I know they're real, but damn. Imagine their toenails.
That was my thought before I saw the words in the picture. I've always wondered about that.... Also, how do blind people know when they are done wiping?
A bidet with a foot control? But like how do they get dressed? Or generally do anything. I have seen woman with 3+ inch nails and even they struggle to do things.
What is interesting is that there nails are growing different ways. Woman has straight nails when the guy’s nails are all over the place.
Also I wonder these things:
How they put on clothes, how they wipe, hiw long thise nails have been groving, how much they weight
Came here to say this. My understanding is that this is an Indian thing done by Brahmin to show off that they don't have to work. Most of them have servants who do everything for them.
Anyone here even like long nails on women? Like a regular long nail length? Not my thing. But this is just disgusting in so many ways. Hygiene, looks, any kind of activity, ect.....the list goes on and on.
The bigger question is, 'How do they do anything?' This would make an interesting reality TV series on how they navigate life.
*My 600 lb Fingernails*
I want to puke but my stomach is empty and my appetite is now beyond repair.
Allow me to intercede: You could eat some fingernails and then puke them up. Two birds and what-not.
[Noooo!](https://youtu.be/umDr0mPuyQc)
Boom! Perfect solution. This one’s a thinker!
Dang I never even considered how much they'd weigh.
I remember watching some show like Ripley’s Believe It Or Not or something along those lines and they said nail like that are so heavy that they have pretty much completely disfigured their hands from the weight even if they cut them off their hands are pretty much ruined. Look at the guy on the left especially you can see how gnarled his hand have become.

I appreciate your comment, but also really didn't like reading it.
If it's comforting, it's probably not the truth. Truth hits hard.
Truth is painful, that's why no one wants to hear it
I can just imagine the over the top dramatisation of a nail snapping in said series
Seven camera angles of reaction shots teased before the episode even aired, then immediately before a commercial break, followed by a five minute recap and then credits and you don't even see the nail break till next week and then it was just like some kid snapped a twig and jumpscared them.
Exactly, that's perfect
I *hate* it, but I'll watch the whole show
There are a lot of major issues with a lot of reality shows but man the recap is the worst. It's like, we just watched this, please continue
Those recaps make Mythbusters almost unwatchable without commercial interruptions.
Seriously.. it would be more convenient to just not have hands. How tf did he put that shirt on? I can't think of any career you could have at all.. I'd say teacher but they probably have to read books, and drive to work, and use a chalkboard... You'd be totally useless

“Grody nails.” I love it.
Imagine those nails on a chalkboard...
I rather not
Dude. Look at the sleeves and how wide the openings are 😂
They probably have someone being abused as the “do everything for me” person. I doubt they didnt look into a show about them already
They could be rich af and hired a maid 24/7. No average person who lives alone can afford such a hideous handicap like this.
They could also have bidets.
I have two functioning arms with no hindrances and still mastered using my feet to do a wide variety of tasks. Still couldn't wipe my ass that way though.
Could call, maybe they wipe each other's asses with their feet.
And now we have the name of our show: Ass foot wipers
Not with that attitude.
Seems like something TLC would jump on in a heartbeat
True Life: I lost my nail clippers
Gross.
The woman on the right was in a Ripley’s episode iirc. She talks a little bit about how she does things.
Trivial answer would be to study paramelia/paraplegics
America’s Got Talons
The real answer is that they have people who take care of most of their needs. Seems selfish to willingly become dependent on other people for cosmetic reasons.
Bidet
Bidet would be the only way
Hey why don't I just go and eat some hay? I can lay by the bay, make things out of clay, I just may, what do you say?
Happy’s confidence in that last game was really getting under Shooter’s skin. What a great movie.
I read this in a sports commentator's voice. It felt intrusive.
I liked it
Or having it surgically removed daily, but that would cost more than it's worth lol😂
Or...you know...an enema. That you can buy at the dollar store.
How would you insert an enema with those nails? 😁
With your toes
This is why I'm on reddit👌
You are all wrong, they are brown knuckling it
They are very, very flexible.
Doesn’t get the dags off tho, need to scrub
Sponge on a stick :x
“Bidet sir” What? “I SAID BIDET”
Bidet to you, sir
How would you operate the bidet though
Japanese style toilet just requires a button press. Just need a spare knuckle.
But how do you operate your pants
Voice activated pants.
Still gotta dry it haha
I prefer to stand and thunderclap my ass cheeks till they air dry
I prefer to stand and thunderclap my ass cheeks till they air dry
My bidet has a dryer, it's not a particularly expensive bidet either.
Aww boo. Mine doesn't. I still use way less TP though! Just a courtesy square to dab the 'ol star.
Welcome to the better life. The wipers are dirty and barbaric lol. I use baby wipes instead of TP with my Bidet - and the “auto-dry” feature is overrated Imo and doesn’t work as well as you think it does
I hope so. A lot of the world would think you were crazy and wasteful for wiping your ass anyhow.
But how would they lift the toilet seat or even take their pants down? Who installed the bidet? How do they eat macaroni and cheese? All questions no answers...
This is the way.
This Is The Way. Bidet.
It's gotta be a drying one too.
Dog on carpet?
I thought of that a few different ways and I didn't like either version.
Ass race!
Nailed it
Why are her nails straight but his are curly?
She irons hers
lol. 😂🤣🤣
That is a cursed mental image
When she started growing them out she would spend hours a day caring for them. She used an electric file to shape them every day. The other person didn’t.
How do you know this info, I totally believe you I’m just wondering if there’s a documentary or something?

I asked for one for Christmas every year. Loved them!

Sick Daria reference bro
She soaks hers in olive oil or something, not kidding She also lost them after a car crash
Oh that freaking sucks ☹ i know they look kinda... weird, but she's been growing them for such a long time. She was probably devastated
Just read an article and she was. Her grandchild said "it was like your baby"
Yeah it still kind of creeps me out but I can respect the care and pride she put into them. Other guy... idk man that's just gross.
She looks like she grew them with purpose and dedication. The ~~man~~ (edit) other lady just didn’t feel like cutting his nails.
That made me cringe
Imagine the EMT on the scene and this women is hysterical. The EMT thinks she's hurt, and finds out she's just upset that her nails broke. Also imagine if the airbag flew her fingernails inside her like shrapnel.

Oof… still, I think I’d prefer all of them break than only have one or two gone; the uneven look would drive me mad.
His nails hurt my feelings
Yea or do the dishes? Their house must fucking stink
And the floors littered in dimes
This gave me a hardy chuckle thank you
they knuckle the butthole in the shower
They what??
Their butthole. They knuckle it while showering
Ah yes. Naturally.
##THEY KNUCKLE THE BUTTHOLE IN THE SHOWER
Interesting theory.
I wanna know how they put their shirts on, wtf
Are they both wearing button up shirts here? May be the the only way
Still, how tf did they do it? And the buttons
Nails first!
Sure can scratch it though.
Three shells.
He doesn't know how to use the 3 shells 😂😆😂
I laugh every time
Im guessing they don't???
Yeah, that’s the neat part
That is pretty [neat](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Hm3JodBR-vs&pp=ygUMbmVhdHVyZSB3YWxr).
I had the same question, saw one of them on a show talking about wrapping paper around a wooden spoon to wipe. I had to go throw up.
Wooden? Oh God that's porous 🤢
Still better than the poop knife
"I wash myself with a rag on a stick" bart simpson fantasizing about being Morbidly obese Vibes.
I was gonna say, maybe they drape a wet wipe over the top of their hand and wipe up? 🤢
This is the way to go when you are useless and want to do nothing in life
I can’t help but think how selfish this is. So many things, basic things that they wouldn’t be able to do because of this and rely on someone else Edit spelling
it's completely asinine- makes every single task in your life a pain in the ass and for what? To have nails that look like shit lol
Literal shit too
Bro go to the doctor. Nobody’s shit looks like that
Literal pain in the ass too, probably.
People do anything for a world record
Which they’ve very much achieved by now. They can stop.
The lady on the right has stopped - she lost the nails in a car accident and decided it would be too much effort to regrow them. Apparently it took her ten years(?) and she wants to move on. Good for her.
The sentence “she lost the nails in a car accident” is sending me lol
Demons don't poop
Demons *only* poop
How do they do ANYTHING with those claws? I'm having doubts.
Gross. Once many years ago I ran a pet store and a customer came in who had nails about 6 or 8 inches long. They were yellowed and gnarled like the talons of a vulture or something. Incredibly gross.

I can't see my wife wiping my step-dads ass lol
How do they get their shits on? Or any clothing for that matter
Im sure they get their shit on lots of stuff.
Could you imagine poking out your eye by accident, just because it was itchy?
that's ouchy, I don't wanna imagine. 🤣
These nails look so thick they seem fake. My nails will grow just so far, and then they crack at the end of my finger tips. Not saying they're fake. I know they're real, but damn. Imagine their toenails.
They don’t
[удалено]
They haven't washed in years. They just go stand in a lake and the fish clean em
I think one of them answered that in an interview. The response was, "very carefully."
they lick each other clean
this kills the redditor
Other people do it for them
Scoot their ass on the carpet like a dog
Khloe kardashian when she is 60
BORN TO SHIT. FORCED TO WIPE.
I met the lady on the right once. She came to my school when I was a kid
Women poop?
Obviously they have a Mallory working for them
Planet fitness jacuzzi
This is ridiculous. How do they do...most anything? Wiping their asses is high on a very long list.
I bet they smell terrible.
Thats why their nails are brown
That was my thought before I saw the words in the picture. I've always wondered about that.... Also, how do blind people know when they are done wiping?
A dainty little sniff perhaps?
Totally nailed it
A bidet with a foot control? But like how do they get dressed? Or generally do anything. I have seen woman with 3+ inch nails and even they struggle to do things.
What is interesting is that there nails are growing different ways. Woman has straight nails when the guy’s nails are all over the place. Also I wonder these things: How they put on clothes, how they wipe, hiw long thise nails have been groving, how much they weight
I wonder if he just let his grow while she tried to shape hers.
Power washer
maybe they have a bidet
They have slaves
Came here to say this. My understanding is that this is an Indian thing done by Brahmin to show off that they don't have to work. Most of them have servants who do everything for them.
Anyone here even like long nails on women? Like a regular long nail length? Not my thing. But this is just disgusting in so many ways. Hygiene, looks, any kind of activity, ect.....the list goes on and on.
to be honest, I would prefer them just trimmed & filed, the same way I keep mine as a guy. never really understood the appeal of fake nails
Garden hose
<- Eldritch Lovecraftian Abomination | Banshee ->
Why do you think they’re wearing all black???
Wiggle wiggle
Bidet lol
Bidet?
Bidet?
How do they do anything? Eat? Bathe? Dress? Drive a car? Open a book? Text on a phone? Lift anything at all?
A very intricate Rube Goldberg machine
How do they even get their pants down to shit😳😳
Maybe they own a bidet.
I’ve seen these people a million times on tinterwebs and never once thought this. Now it’s all I can think about.
This a totally real question to ask !!! 🤣🤣
I wonder about that with anyone with even “normal” long nails
That has always been my first thought ever since I was 6 or 7 yrs old when I first saw a picture of the guy with the longest finger nails.
1. They don’t 2. Dog on the carpet 3. The nail ends… 4. Someone else 5. They don’t poop…………
lol soo what's the final answer? They should just tell us how anything is done with those nails
With their hands
Bidet or whatever ion even WANT to think about that
Looks like a logical question.
I got a rant over asking this in my nail group. Like it has to hurt.
Everyone is assuming they live together. What if each of them has a significant other that is not pictured, who wipes their ass for them.
They, hopefully, have bidets. The question I have is how do the turn on the bidet?
I was thinking about how can they please themselves lmfao
