Yesterday, as I was performing my morning grooming, I happened to notice a little black hair growing out of the side of my nose. Not coming out of the nostril, mind you, but out of the side of my nose. It was, I don’t know, about 1/8 of an inch long. Well, I am getting to that age where those sorts of things start to crop up and so I just grabbed the old tweezers and gave it a pluck. Now at this point, I bet you are thinking that this is not a TMI thread and that I lured you in to this thread with false advertising. Sadly, this is not the case. You see, this hair was actually a huge, black 1 to 1.5 inch long hair that had grown from my septum across my nostril and then pushed its way through the small hole that was left over from when I had my nose pierced (about 10+ years ago) to emerge. On top of this just being gross, it hurt a hell of a lot more than I was expecting and the pain came from a source that was unexpected as well. Blech. ---

I just checked the spot where I used to have my nose pierced. No hair. Now I’m disappointed! ---

Wow. I can’t decide whether to be grossed out or amazed that the nose hair made such a trip and happened to make it out the former pierce hole. You almost have to admire that nose hair. ---

I bet a fertilized jungle vine that must reach sunlight or die couldn’t pull off that journey. That’s one tenacious filament. So… are we thinking transplant? ---

> [@lieu](#): > > …So… are we thinking transplant? Eeew. Believe me, I would rather be bald than to have a head full of these extra thick, black _things_. It sort of reminded me of the hairs growing off of that dudes back in The Fly (remake). ---

I had a nose hair “ingrow” itself and push its way through the side. Hurt like a sumbitch for a couple of days, then one day I looked in the mirror and saw a little black hair sticking out of my nose. Gave it a tug, and this long strand of hair came out. I could feel it unravelling on the other side. I thought it was the coolest thing. ---

That was awesome, **Binarydrone**. I’ve gotten some interesting things out of piercing holes, but nothing that can compare to that. ---

I too, had to scramble to the mirror to see if a particularly adventurous nose hair had managed to wend its way through my old nose piercing. Alas, it is not to be. **Binarydrone,** did you feel better securing vengeance? ---
