The other day i was with a friend and she started pushing and pulling her cuticles. It was so upsetting. She even started saying sometimes it bleeds because she goes too far, like..... why do people do that?
I wouldn't know why anyone would want to do it until they bled, but unchecked cuticles will make your nail polish lopsided and messy-looking. Polish sticks to fingernails, but peels right off cuticles. I went to a nail place for the first time and was weirded out when they did it, but it immediately made sense when they put the polish on. I don't bother when I apply polish at home, because I'm a slob.
