If he has that kind of flexibility, why would he even leave the house? If you get my drift.

Some guy borrows them and then leaves a thank you note so that Rob knows where they went. I think it's clear that Rob is being P/A and that, in this case, this is the P/A people website. Not sure why but whatever. OK, so I guess I had it right the first time:

This doesn't explain why he doesn't do it the night before but it would explain why he has the time to do it in the car.

Clipping while driving. Ugh, no. As if cell phone users weren't bad enough. I ride a motorcycle so I really can't picture doing this myself, but even with an automatic transmission car it just doesn't work. Clipping in the car before leaving for work. Why not do it at home? You're right there. Clipping in the car after arriving at work but before entering? I guess sometimes you get lucky with traffic and have a few minutes to spare, but it would occur to me to use that time to get coffee or listen to the a good song on the radio. Clipping nails would be about 346th on the list of things I'd do with those minutes. Clipping nails during lunch or other work breaks. I suppose there's some spare time there, but isn't that what PAN is for? Yes, I really can’t think of a scenario under which “I cut my nails in my car on the way to work” actually would be a plus.
