I had one of those, I’m getting old moments a couple weeks ago. I had ordered a bedding set (sheets,comforter,pillow cases,shams etc) and they were due to be delivered. I had two almost simultaneous thoughts that day.
“Oh boy! My new sheets are coming today! That’s so cool!”
“Oh crap, I’m excited about new sheets. That’s the most pathetic thing ever.”
Ah well, guess I should just go ahead and admit I’m rapidly approaching middle age.
Try braiding your nose hairs for a trend-setting personal style that’ll make you the envy of all your less nasally-hirsute friends.
Ear hairs should be kept long enough to contribute to much-desired comb-over effect for that balding pate. Or, for you aging hippies, pull them back into a ponytail for that timeless “anti-establishment statement” effect.
That’s what clinched it for me, too. I plucked one the other day that must have been 4 inches long! I looked like some freaky mad scientist (not that there’s anything wrong with that).
Hair proliferating in one’s ears and nose (particularly if you’re balding) is the Universe’s idea of delivering the message of mortality with humor. The cruelty is not being able to see it unless you’re looking through the bottom of your tri-focals while standing very close to the mirror.
I wish I didn’t have to know these things <sigh>
If your nose hair is grey, this might be boogers growing on the hair, What I do is just get a pair on scissors and snip, snip snip. Small hairs of course, and if your’e careful it works. Ears hairs the same, but it’s hard to get the little SOB’s!
Old fart speaking…
