    Gone.

    I used to, until about ten years ago. I was having a nibble, and suddenly thought "it's about time I stopped doing this" So I stopped and have never bitten them since. My nails have never looked better.

    All the time. It's not like I don't want nice finger nails and it's not like I don't want to stop, but the fact of the matter is, I can't help it. Most of the time it is a completely unconscious process now, I have no idea that I'm doing it. And when I am aware of it, it's like I can't help myself, I know I shouldn't and I don't want to, but I do it anyway. It's like a mild compulsion (I have stopped myself a couple of times).

    In the past, I have cut them and washed them and then bitten them afterwards. I haven't bitten them for a while now though.

    I clip them sometimes but as long as they're pretty clean/ as long as they seem it, I prefer biting 'em. Look nicer and are just nicer all round

    Sometimes I do...if they are long. They are very soft, so if I don't get them out of the way, they get caught and break painfully.

    No, but my son did when he was little! I discouraged this behavior, however. It seems rather unsanitary to me, but I wouldn't judge others for it (I might not kiss them, either). ;)

    Yes I do right now. I guess it's the stress of this week. Half my nails are gone. I had stopped for years but on occasion it happens. I'm sure when I'm feeling better it will end and I'll be okay again.

    I clip... I touch money, a lot, and so do many other people before the money gets to me, so I never put my hands/fingers in my mouth.
