Line 43:
* In ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]'' [[Brainless Beauty]] Hilary Banks starts a fire when she drops her oven mitts on the range top so she can file her nails. When she notices the fire, she makes a token effort to beat it out with a frying pan before returning to filing her nails ''while smoke continues to rise''. When Geoffrey enters the kitchen she tells him [[Understatement|that something might be wrong with the stove]] before going back to her nails ''again''.
* Santana from ''[[Glee]]'' was frequently seen filing her nails when she apparently felt events (or the people around her) were beneath her notice,
* One of the defining characteristics of Miss Nance of the Humanidyne Institute, secretary to the titular team from [[NBC]]'s short-lived series ''[[Misfits of Science]]'', although in her case it's misleading -- despite her apparent disinterest in her own job, she is in fact the person who keeps everything running and cares about ''everything'', to the point that she says "good night" to the rabbits in their cages before turning off the lights every evening.
