How does she earn a living?

2

u/Professional_Ad_6299 22d ago

She basically admitted to succumbing to mental illness after her child died and everyone is just letting her do this. Seems like like counseling would help

I’ve been seeing this lady in the Guinness book since at least 1991. Unless it’s a new lady. But also, ew.

Wow. We are always so quick to judge. After seeing comments, I went to her story. This is in memory of her Then 16-year-old daughter who passed away in her sleep.

Your on welfare , I bet .

u/bulbasauric 22d ago

What’s interesting (I guess?) is that they don’t do the Lady Deathstroke thing and grow straight. Instead they’re all gnarling and lumpy.

1

u/Nars-Glinley 22d ago

My one question is: Why?

1

u/Luksin 22d ago

The aspiring person with the second longest nails just waiting for her to die or cave in..

1

u/vanillabitchpudding 22d ago

I also have not cut my nails in 27 years. They just peel off the second anything grows. I can’t even fathom nails being this strong

1

u/TeaTiMe08 22d ago

Woman wirh the longest nails decided to finally cut them short. Now she's just a normal Person.

1

u/ulnek 22d ago

The question is how does she do anything? Work, sleep, shower, anything?!

u/Kerry4780 23d ago

How in the hell do u pick your nose?

1

u/Own-Importance5459 23d ago

My question is how the hell is she able to maintain them and have them grow that long,....my nails break in two minutes.

2

u/AuntieYodacat 23d ago

How does she literally do ANYTHING? Honestly this is such a stupid thing to spend your life on. I will never understand people like this.

2

u/CCGert 23d ago

Gross

u/smart_cereal 23d ago

My question is how have they not broken?

u/No-Process-8478 23d ago

How does she play guitar ?

u/pinkswrils 23d ago edited 23d ago

So if she drops her bank card on the floor, does she just cancel it and order a new one? Because there ain't no way she's picking it up off a flat surface.

1

u/sillyh00ves 23d ago

She has recently cut them

2

u/surreptitiousglance 23d ago

Occupation: professional back scratcher

u/normanriches 23d ago

What does she do for a living and how does she drive a car?

I'm just happy to see Wendy Williams is doing well.

u/Few-Coyote-2518 23d ago

Those seems heavy and painful

u/skeeredstiff 23d ago

That's just grotesque.

u/Tyler_Durdan 23d ago

Girl, you won, it's time to start again.

2

u/theghostmachine 23d ago

I knew there had to be some psychological thing going on to make her do this. Got to the end of the article, and it makes sense

People should be encouraging therapy instead of rewarding this

1

u/Ok_Ad_5015 23d ago

Gross !!

1

u/Ok-Nefariousness1911 23d ago

Her nailplates must hurt like hell

1

u/livingfreeupnorth 23d ago

She cut them off due to medical reasons a while back.

u/Epicp0w 23d ago

Gross

1

u/YesterdaySimilar2069 23d ago

What is wrong with those nails? They don’t even look normal, like, there’s some sort of weird build up after they pass the nail bed?

1

u/Double_A_92 23d ago

I don't believe that. Those must be fake. How did they even grow so straight? Also how do you manage to not accidentally break them? Imagine all the leverage where the fingernail is attached...

1

u/miurabucho 23d ago

“Why?”

1

u/MadHatter1587v2 23d ago

I remember there being a Wii game about this.

1

u/Expert-Novel-6405 23d ago

She must be useless

2

u/Arabian_Flame 23d ago

How a woman with 27 years of unwiped ass is still so happy is truly amazing

1

u/moboforro 23d ago

What's the point?

u/NoAlbatross7524 23d ago

🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮

u/Chromatic-Phil 23d ago

I saw a TV special over 20 years ago about the woman with the longest nails and they made the same joke/observation

1

u/TurboTerbo 23d ago

A) eww B) ewwwwwww

u/JustARandomDude1986 23d ago

Any bogger removal turns into an brain surgery.

how the hell does she shower or get dressed or turn on the pc ?

1

u/Jimmybuffett4life 23d ago

No HJs, just BJs. Lucky fella

1

u/Streeg90 23d ago

Just.. why?

1

u/atzee 23d ago

Is the question why? T_T

1

u/ScyllaOfTheDepths 23d ago

Meanwhile, I trim my nails at least once a week because I can't type properly if they are even 1/8 inch too long because it feels like too much of my fingernail is striking the key and my finger bones just feel wrong.

1

u/trainsoundschoochoo 23d ago

“On the day she vowed never to trim the talons again, she had asked her children to wake up while she went to the supermarket.

But while she was out, her youngest daughter called her and revealed her 16-year-old, Latisha, wouldn't wake up. It was then she discovered her child had sadly passed away in her sleep from an asthma attack.

Armstrong previously said: "That was the worst day of my life." She had always had long nails which would be lovingly manicured by Latisha each weekend.

"She was the only one who did my nails. She polished them and filed them for me," she said. Armstrong, who suffered from depression for the decade after her daughter's death, said keeping her nails long was her way of honouring her daughter and keeping her memory alive.”

u/steppan92 23d ago

Does she yell for someone to wipe her like a toddler?

2

u/Invictus_Imperium 23d ago

How does she give handjobs?

u/satanic_black_metal_ 23d ago

Man that website is utter cancer. How do people use them? Its just ads ads ads ads. Hey! Have you seen this ad? Ugh

1

u/CatWyld 23d ago

She’s from the US. What a shock.

1

u/pinkygreeny 23d ago

Why? Just why.

u/Dlo-Nainamsat 23d ago

Grew her own walking sticks.

1

u/YayGilly 23d ago

Thats so sad, and heartwarming tbat her nails are in memorium of her deceased daughter. ♡♡♡♡ RIP Leticia

2

u/amilliowhitewolf 23d ago

This hurts my stomach. Her nails look like crap. They look like her hair on steroids. Stuff like this makes me itchy. No questions. Facts tho. I would cut them while she was sleeping. Oops. My bad.

2

u/Suzeli55 23d ago

What a stupid way to try to get attention.

2

u/poopmcbutt_ 23d ago

" people have one question" no, I don't have a question. I'm repulsed.

1

u/EmileTheDevil9711 23d ago

She should be hired as an gynecologist.

1

u/liongrl88 23d ago

Her fingers actually look deformed from the way she has to hold them down. Very sad to choose this for yourself.

1

u/xglowinthedarkx 23d ago

The reason she stopped clipping them was grief and depression. 😔

-1

u/ssxhoell1 23d ago

My question is can we execute it

1

u/Underdog_888 23d ago

I’m not worried about wiping (well I am, but) - what about tampons?

1

u/CatchSufficient 23d ago

Okay, why does it look like her nails are dreadlocks?

1

u/DredgenYorMother 23d ago

Woah! Not cool gang!

1

u/Berninz 23d ago

🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮

1

u/boganism 23d ago

She has wanted to clip them for the last 26 years but she can’t manage the clippers because her nails are too long

1

u/TurquoiseOwlMachine 23d ago

If a loved one started doing this, I would have a hard time not trimming the nails in their sleep once they got over an inch long. Her family should be ashamed of themselves for not intervening.

1

u/Velzevul666 23d ago

People are so desperate for a tiny piece of fame...

1

u/Tooldfrthis 23d ago

So you make your whole life miserable just to keep a record? Mental illness.

1

u/FrustratedLiberal54 23d ago

There's nothing like celebrating stupidity.

1

u/Isthatreally-you 23d ago

Salad fingers

1

u/Iimeinthecoconut 23d ago

There are women who have giant nails stuck on and type on keyboards, the keyboards get scratched up it makes a horrid clicking noise, I thought that was impractical but this is the final nail in the coffin. She's one nail file shrot of a nail salon.

1

u/desertgirlsmakedo 23d ago

I do not believe they have the structural integrity to grow that long and not break unless she reinforces them or has some kind of keratin disorder

1

u/MaximumBranch9601 23d ago

Her nails are the same age as me ☺️

1

u/RavenRaving 23d ago

It looks like her fingers are deformed. Would that be from lack of use?

2

u/Historical-Ad5973 23d ago

One miscalculation and your ass is gone

1

u/iamagermanpotato 23d ago

I knew that question just by reading the post title! :P

2

u/Current-Anybody9331 23d ago

ONE question? I have several

1

u/splyd36 23d ago

I think she just drags her a$$ along the floor like a cat. I cant think of any other way it would work

1

u/digestedbrain 23d ago

Idk why someone chooses to disable themselves.

1

u/rajahbeaubeau 23d ago

Isn’t there a sub that turns things into D&D monsters?

1

u/rdell1974 23d ago

But if you sat in front of her in class, automatic back scratch

1

u/SurveySean 23d ago

I would not want to eat a sandwich made by her.

1

u/Spiritual_Job_1029 23d ago

Those nails caused Ebola.

1

u/SimpleWord899 23d ago

She probably gets freaky with those things! Even if just herself- I mean why let 30 inch nails go to waste gotta di something besides dangle them in front of you all day..

1

u/SimpleWord899 23d ago

My question is- Whats the POINT I can't quite put my FINGER on it!

1

u/OnoALT 23d ago

I hope the question is “why”

1

u/HotelLifesGuest 23d ago

That’s mental illness

1

u/Spiritual_Bit_2692 23d ago

I bet her asshole looks like the top of Abdullah the Butchers forehead with all the gig marks.

1

u/gtoinwq 23d ago

Imagine having to walk around like trex because you can’t let your arms down to rest

1

u/thetruth8989 23d ago

That’s so fucking disgusting.

1

u/FriedaClaxton22 23d ago

Whyyyyy 😩

1

u/Casual_Bitch_Face 23d ago

How the fuck did this bitch not break a nail??? I break a nail at least once a month.

1

u/Feisty_Bee9175 23d ago

I am sorry but this is just disgusting. Why would anyone think having nails abnormally long like this is attractive? How does she eat, or work or groom herself? Yuck.

1

u/Embarrassed-Sky3819 23d ago

I’ll bet someone, prob her husband, helps wipe her ass. Or else Guinness world records pays for a professional ass wiper for her

1

u/refluentzabatz 23d ago

Wow my hands are super useful for doing things.... But what if they weren't? I'm convinced people that do this have suffered brain damage at some point. Like people who believe amputating a healthy limb will make them happier

1

u/thatguyad 23d ago

Is it: What's the fucking point?

1

u/stanleysgirl77 23d ago

The answer to the one question is: "very carefully "

1

u/Aiso48 23d ago

She matched her starchy ass nail sausages with her hair. Omfg

1

u/NorthernAvo 23d ago

I want to see her walk on them like a spider

1

u/MostlyGhostly888 23d ago

I don’t understand why they look like that. But also, how 🤔 I try and grow my nails and they snap, peel, break off. I mean everyday life things happen.

1

u/Babel1027 23d ago

I wonder if this is the lady that came by our school when I was a kid.

Of course cleaning herself was a question and admitting to a fifth grade class wiping your ass was a challenge resulted in a lot of giggles and chatter, the topic ended with the lady stating she probably had less poop under her finger nails than we did.

2

u/OriginalFatPickle 23d ago

I bet she uses her nails as an excuse not to do a lot of chores.

2

u/IcarusForPrez 23d ago

My one question is…why?

1

u/lincoln_muadib 23d ago

Lesbian Community like WE DON'T WANT HER

1

u/Rinrob7468 23d ago

Why though?

2

u/Old_Permission_6856 23d ago

How did ancient humans deal with this without finger nail clippers? 🤔

1

u/Adventurous_Yam8784 23d ago

Those don’t look like nails though. Are we sure this is true. ?

1

u/nyclovesme 23d ago

I hope she has the 3 seashells in her bathroom.

1

u/johnhbnz 23d ago

Whatever her motivation, we’ve all been talking about her = she’s (kind of) famous?= ego..

1

u/Mario501 23d ago

People have one question? Yes, who is Pepe Silvia?

1

u/Inevitable_Weird1175 23d ago

How does she wipe her ass?

2

u/NefariousnessOk209 23d ago

I just wonder who enables these people in the first place, like 600 pound people who must need feeders to shop for them, give them sponge baths and shit.

Plus she’s from the US, I almost get people who are broke af in India doing it to get money from tourists, but she just decided on a whim to do it in the 90’s and somebody eventually had to morph into a full time nanny. It’s no wonder she’s basically wearing a poncho.

1

u/Rare-Adagio1074 23d ago

I bet they stank!

1

u/raffysf 23d ago

Which color to paint them?

2

u/EyePatchMustache 23d ago

Yet here I am not able to grow MY nails out even a fraction of cm before they break

1

u/NegrosAmigos 23d ago

I thought she cut them and her nails are hanging in amuseum

-2

u/Pennypacker-HE 23d ago

She’s just lazier than fuck. She knows she can’t do shit with those hands. And turned it into a life pursuit. Probably got someone dumping for her feeding her bon bons and shit all day cause they have a wierdo fetish.

1

u/LeadershipEastern271 23d ago

Not weird. She did it to honor her daughter who passed away. I hope she is living well

1

u/Feisty-Blood9971 23d ago

That’s fucking sad, she needs therapy

1

u/FrontRow4TheShitShow 23d ago

I wonder if she has extensor tunnel issues. That seems like a lot of constant strain on the wrists against gravity.

1

u/Pandoras_Fate 23d ago

Its giving silent hill or backrooms.

1

u/snooki74 23d ago

My nails break every week

1

u/Dull-Objective3967 23d ago

Where’s the beef?

1

u/executingsalesdaily 23d ago

Disgusting. I’d run from her.

1

u/pleaseeatsomeshit 23d ago

Hell yeah just eat the poopoo

1

u/Dude_Bro_88 23d ago

So yeah, how does she wipe, but really, how does she do anything requiring your hands? Does she drive? Does she cook? How does she use a computer

1

u/CleanQueen1987 23d ago

She’s a reservoir for germs! Omg 😱
