Is it acceptable to clip one's nails in public?

I am in a professional collaboration meeting with educational facilitators (teachers) from across my local district. It happened again!! Someone whipped out the nail clippers and started clipping away! I find this annoying and rude. I hate the sound of nail clippers, and it just makes me wonder where the dirty nail clippings are ending up. Is public nail clipping something that annoys you? Grooming needs to happen at one’s home. Fluthering, however, is good to be done anywhere!
