I'm with you, I would much rather sit by someone who is clipping their nails than sit near someone who just took a smoke break and reeks like an ashtray

thanks for the replies. I would really like to hear from someone who took the Hurst review, it really seems from the way it is mentioned in the books that there might more to it that just mental fatique. It seems like it could be a specific strategy ...
