Absolutely. It's part of healthy nail-keeping. It's generally the first thing they do in a nail salon.

Of course I bite my nails like crazy so they look like shit no matter what.

I was doing it while waiting on hold, I caught myself and I wondered why I was doing it. I was just curious as to how many other people do it. how does it make your nails healthy? I don't get it.

You know, I don't have a fucking clue. Except maybe that afterwards you can tend to the nail underneath. It's also a must if you're gonna paint 'em, otherwise you just end up with a big mess.

The whole purpose of the cuticle is to protect the area where the nail actually grows so maybe you're not supposed to push them back.

Fuck.

does it have anything to do with reducing the risk of getting a hangnail?

People don't give a shit, unless it affects them personally, this affects me personally!

Message board?

This is The Shizz.

Chromelodeon manages to get all the furniture from their hotel into the lake a few years back...and people are worried about shizzies?

Google time...

http://www.skinsite....o_nail_care.htm:

4. The cuticle is the skin that grows from the finger onto the base of the nail (nail root). We recommend that the cuticle not be pushed back. Leaving the cuticle intact helps to prevent infection of the nail growing tissue.

http://www.tipsofall...s.com/nail.html:

Leave the cuticle alone. Cutting it invites infection on the nail's tissue.

http://www.waningmoo...s/nailcare.html

The cuticle protects the nail root from bacteria. Instead of cutting the cuticle, push it back gently with a rosewood stick or rubber-tipped cuticle-pusher. However, should the cuticle be hard and dry and sticking up, slightly trimming it is justifiable, but never remove the whole thing. Strong cuticle growth can be controlled with a cuticle softener or cuticle remover liquid.

I'm not sure that answered anything. Who would cut the cuticle anyway? Sounds painful.
