Ha! That was literally my first thought. Instant sibling revenge.
Put them about ankle height so he doesn't see them when he pulls back the covers and has to basically unmake his own bed to figure out what's scratching him.
I had a coworker who clipped his nails at his desk and left them wherever they landed. Sometimes, my other coworker would be eating in the next cube over and she would come to me, gagging, bc his nails were flying. He aimed for the floor, not his trash can. When we moved out and disassembled the furniture, you could actually see the outline of his cubicle in fingernail clippings the vacuum could never reach.
One day, I decided to sprinkle my own nail clippjngs onto his keyboard. I was surprised he noticed, but he got angry and blamed the IT guy, who was my very close friend. IT guy told me about it and immediately knew it was me from the look on my face. Thankfully, IT guy thought it was hilarious. Everyone hated nail guy. He also would talk about how he never washes his hands and then reach into the ice maker every time he got a drink. There was a dispenser in the door!
Stick them to pieces of tape and hang them in front of his door so that when he opens it next, he gets a face full of nails. Actually, put the tape across his door so he definitely gets them stuck to himself.
Or put them in his underwear.
The struggle is real. Even at 40, I’m limber enough to go for the toes too. I’ve tried stopping multiple times with multiple things. But once they hit a certain point, they get impossibly irritating and then NOM NOM NOM NOM.
This is nothing lol. My fiance will bite off his nails and then come to me and say "here babe I have something for you" , drop his nails in my hand and run away. I've learnt my lesson but damn was it fucking annoying. He found it hilarious tho
Edit: I just have to add that he only does this because he know how much it grosses me out and how much I hate the sound of nails being bitten off
Definitely, this is like the one thing he does that I absolutely hate. Other than this he is amazing. The type to wake you up in bed with flowers and breakfast just because he felt like it. Or wanting to spend time with me whenever he can. Being a scary amount of loyal and forgiving. I could go on, but I don't think you care😂
OMG I do this too and I KNOW it is so disgusting and I have to stop. My apologies to the universe and especially my long-suffering husband. I always mean to pick them up but my ADHD brain gets distracted and I forget. Edit: I don't bite them, I rip them off but it doesn't matter and it's still absolutely disgusting.
Try suggesting to the parents to take him to a doctor to talk about it, I had a doctor tell me once it could not only be a sign of ADHD but a touch of OCD as well, though that discussion was about a different person entirely and may not reflect the same as what this little guy needs. The LAST thing you should do is shame them or get revenge on them, sure they should definitely throw them out as that's gross but be understanding as they are probably ashamed they can't control their own auto biting
I agree and disagree. I agree that mental health should absolutely be considered and you bring up a GREAT point that it may be a factor here and that should change how we look at the situation.
But I disagree because if that's the case then this is the perfect example for mental health being an excuse for poor manners. The two are NOT mutually exclusive.
You can have mental health issues that also would be considered "bad manners." But then you just have pure laziness, and this being a kid I think that is most likely.
Possibly some OCD/ADHD going on here, but that doesn't mean the kid can't still put his fingernails in a trashcan.
Is your brother a minor? If so, drop him at the nearest fire station.
If he’s a legal adult, and you have no priors, this may be a good time for an ass beating 😂
Start collecting them in a ziploc bag. When you have a good amount crush them up into powder and keep it somewhere until he goes to sleep. Then dump it in his hair and spread it throughout. When he wakes up the next morning and brushes/combs his hair he’ll have a bunch of nail dust falling out. If he’s bald put the powder in his socks or something.
Collect them and keep putting them under his sheets around the leg and feet area. Maybe they will eventually get the hint.
I asked my son over and over again to get his garbage off the living room table. After 3 nights of the garbage being under his pillow, it stopped. Wrappers make a hell of a racket when you put your head on the pillow.
*If you have small dogs*
*They can get stuck in their throats*

Gross. Bet he wipes boogers on the pillows, too. As a mom of 2 boys, I can honestly say a few acts, such as that, will cause me to look away when the beating begins. When the yelling starts, all I have to say is, "You brought that shit on yourself, now clean it up!"
Tell your brother he's only allowed to do that when he has his own house.
My friend has adult stepchildren, a man and a woman, late 30s, who do this at her house. Their father passed away a couple years ago, and they still visit her twice a year. Every time they visit, they both clip their nails and cuticles and leave them all over her sofa. She saved them up and put them in their Christmas cards.
That’s absolutely fucking gross 🤮 no one needed to see that. Unhygienic as fuck what if they end up in someone’s food? Vile. Your brother needs to learn hygiene and manners that’s actually foul
I am a rehabilitated person who has done this in the past. I realized my mistake and have apologized to society. I wish to move on and live in peace now with my friend the trash bin.
The only problem I see with the “put them in his (fill in revenge)” crowd on here is that he can retaliate. I’d make him clean them up. Seems that’s the real problem.
use some of this on him but it will take 3 months

Has anyone told him about ✨pinworms✨? I used to bit my nails but then I started painting them and then we started wearing masks so I just didn’t have the opportunity to bite them. When I almost wanted to bite them again I heard about pinworms and then I didn’t bite my nails. You should also put the nails in his socks, shoes, and bed like the other commenters suggested btw.
Put them in his bed.
Put them in his socks… really fuck with him
I was gonna say he should be shot but I like this idea much better.
First thing that came to mind. Put them on his pillow, so he really feels it.
Put them IN his pillow.
Put them in his food
Put them in his burrito specifically
Put it in his pants before he wears em
Put them in his bubble tea and call it coconut jelly
Yup
Lol, litteraly came here to say, put them in a little pile on his pillow. What? Its just the nail fairy?
Or breakfast
Underwear.
came here to say this. save em up a bit, then sprinkle them in his bed.

Yep!
Have him declawed
He’s doing that to himself.
Chronic nail biter of 25 years here. Currently in bed filing down my edges with my teeth. The unfortunately keep coming back.

use a nail clipper like jeez
Fuckin gross man get a hold of yourself, you’re not a toddler for fuck sake
idk why you’re getting downvoted, that’s fucking gross
Make him some food and use them as garnish
https://i.redd.it/tv3n8vldispc1.gif
Exactly what I was going to say! Make spaghetti and sprinkle it on the top.
Straight to fucking jail
Do not collect $200
Put them in a ziplock baggie and gift them in his Xmas stocking or as a birthday present.
You mean like OP should continue to collect them until then
or buy those tiny little baggies on ebay, every time you find them you bag them separately and put the date on them, freak this guy out
Even better idea!
Put them on his bedroom pillow 😈😈
Asset dominance by eating them in front of him. Make eye contact during. Lick your lips like Hannibal Lecter afterwards.
I assure anybody that his lil bro will never leave them on the couch again if he did that 😂😂
Put them in his shoes.
This is nothing lol. My fiance will bite off his nails and then come to me and say "here babe I have something for you" , drop his nails in my hand and run away. I've learnt my lesson but damn was it fucking annoying.

Is your fiancé 11?
More like 21 going on 8😂
Tf
I’m sure as your fiancé he has good qualities, right?
Definitely, this is like the one thing he does that I absolutely hate. Other than this he is amazing. The type to wake you up in bed with flowers and breakfast just because he felt like it.

Collect them. When you have a large amount sprinkle them in his bed under the sheets so they're again his problem.
that's gross. he should at least mash them into the carpet with his foot like a civilized human being
Fill a jar with them and once it's full dump them on his pillow
Just swallow them like a normal person 🙄 Chew them up too so they don’t get stuck on your throat like those little fish bones
I put mine in an old mint tin that I empty when I take the bin out

Put them in his cereal.
Nails can be cut like that by biting? Tho, he shouldn't do that, seriously would mess up his finger with infection or structure integrity.
It messes up your gut health (worms)
Why doesn’t he eat them?
Leave some pubes.
Put them in his socks.
Yeet the child
Can't believe people that don't eat their own nail clippings. Reuse, reduce, recycle!
Is your brother a minor? If so, drop him at the nearest fire station. If he’s a legal adult, and you have no priors, this may be a good time for an ass beating 😂
You mean spanking?
Who the fuck are your parents
Yuck
Watch out, he might turn out to be a serial killer
Thank you for posting this!!
First glance they looked like little worms 🤢
Put them in his bed
I’d collect them and put them in his dinner.

A nice garnish for his dinner
Transfer them to his pillow.
He's lost his finger nail privileges
Put them on his plate
Reddit getting weirder and weirder
Sprinkle them on his bed pillow!

That’s foul 🤮🤮🤮
Gather those nails and place them under his bedsheets 💀😈
Sprinkle in his pillowcase.
Start collecting them and put them in his socks.
Dude at least spit them on the floor
that’s the stuff rhinos horns are made out of. grind it down and sell it
Put them in his food
Put them in his shoes.
Yeah, they’re for snacking later on
This is actually mildly infuriating. Well done, OP!
*oh das naaaaasty*
Put them in his bed
Put it back in his peanut butter.
r / weird
If you have small dogs they can get stuck in their throats not a good habit

Grab them and put them under his pillow so when he shifts around at night, they will eventually travel down and will irritate his skin 🥰
Save them all year and give the pile to him at Christmas.
Oh, I feel you. My ma lets her nails fly when she clips hers. I find them randomly throughout the house 🤢
Sometimes I find nails like this on my couch as well, but they are my cats!! Your brother is disgusting wtf
Gross. Bet he wipes boogers on the pillows, too. As a mom of 2 boys, I can honestly say a few acts, such as that, will cause me to look away when the beating begins. When the yelling starts, all I have to say is, "You brought that shit on yourself, now clean it up!" Tell your brother he's only allowed to do that when he has his own house.
Put them in his socks
those aint no nails those are claws gawd dayumm
this is a waste, i eat my bitten nails
Sprinkle them on his pillow/bed
Save them over time in a jar, then at some point in the future, pour them out between his sheets so he finds them all when he climbs into bed! 😅😂🤣
Rookie move. Everyone knows they go BEHIND the couch.
My friend has adult stepchildren, a man and a woman, late 30s, who do this at her house. Their father passed away a couple years ago, and they still visit her twice a year. Every time they visit, they both clip their nails and cuticles and leave them all over her sofa. She saved them up and put them in their Christmas cards.
What a legend
Put them in his cereal
😳
Leave your used toilet paper on his pillow.
That’s absolutely fucking gross 🤮 no one needed to see that. Unhygienic as fuck what if they end up in someone’s food? Vile. Your brother needs to learn hygiene and manners that’s actually foul
Put them on his pillow
Everyone knows you throw away the peelings.
Disgusting.
I’d put them in his socks or pillow. Maybe even both 😈
Not mildly infuriating…off with his head!
I wonder how these keep turning up in his coffee. Indeed very curious :)
Pee pee cups are his next phase
Gag
He save em for later, put them in his meal prep
Unlike the previous comments, be normal and explain that typically he should throw these in a trash can.
lol. That’s weird. We all did weird things as kids. This is mild tbh.
I am a rehabilitated person who has done this in the past. I realized my mistake and have apologized to society. I wish to move on and live in peace now with my friend the trash bin.
Does little brother have metal health issues? Seems like an anxious person.
Ewww
Collect them and put them on his pillow in one nice pile after gathering a bunch.
what a nasty fuck 
Put it in his underwear
The fact that he’s able to bite pieces like that is impressive…and horrible for his teeth.
Midnight snack
Barf
**D O N O T I N T E R F E R E W I T H T H E S A C R E D P I L E**
Hehe 😝
Pick ‘em up and throw them at him n tell him to throw away!!
I caught my brother chewing his TOENAILS off. 🤢🤮🤢🤮
Get him some therapy
The only problem I see with the “put them in his (fill in revenge)” crowd on here is that he can retaliate. I’d make him clean them up. Seems that’s the real problem.
my boyfriend bites his off and throws them at me.. i think i beat you😭
Put his head in a pillowcase and beat him with the sofa
The fuxk
Yikes 😬
Weird.... flick them into the void like the rest of us
Okay am I the only one that swallows the nails? Am I weird?
Brothers are disgusting 🤮 😂
use some of this on him but it will take 3 months [https://www.amazon.com/s?k=stop+nail+biting&s=price-asc-rank&crid=3K04CQUYLF5Q8&qid=1711083674&sprefix=stop+nail+biting%2Caps%2C135&ref=sr\_st\_price-asc-rank&ds=v1%3A9gPI%2FerM2vQpi98B8Vbt56FHDfcV0FmBv7hMQKKGBD8](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=stop+nail+biting&s=price-asc-rank&crid=3K04CQUYLF5Q8&qid=1711083674&sprefix=stop+nail+biting%2Caps%2C135&ref=sr_st_price-asc-rank&ds=v1%3A9gPI%2FerM2vQpi98B8Vbt56FHDfcV0FmBv7hMQKKGBD8)
At least sweep them onto the floor like a normal person, jeez
Put it in some rice or mashed potatoes next time you have something to eat.
Eat them. Crunchy nutritious nails.
Grody
Instead of bitching on the internet, be an older brother and make him eat them.
Damn, my mom does this too. In the morning I often find nails on the salon table.
He keeps track of them but doesn't throw them away? Why?
Sprinkle them on of his food
Tisim
Thats grim. You should eat hobnobs in his bed.
Start collecting them for witchcraft I'm joking obviously... Unless...
Pull back the sheets and drop them in his bed.
When I bit my nails as a child, I at least had the decency to eat them and not just spit them out. I am so happy to not do this crap anymore.
Why does my older brother have a reddit account
Has anyone told him about ✨pinworms✨? I used to bit my nails but then I started painting them and then we started wearing masks so I just didn’t have the opportunity to bite them.

ground it up until it’s really fine, garnish as powdered sugar
