Women - Does anyone else pull long hairs (in my case, my own) out of their anoos? I do. I feels…OK. ---

My little dogs and occasionally a cat now and then have this happen so I have to pull one of my long hair out of their butts. Literally, whereas I only pull one figuratively (since it’s by and not from) from my butt at least twice a week (while doing a wipe and/or a shower). Swallowing a foot or more hair is something we humans tend to gag and spit where a pet just keeps swallowing. I feel sorry for my dogs because they know something is there but all the straining in the world doesn’t push the last 2 or 3 inches of hair out. And that’s when I put on my big girl pantys and gently pull the rest out of their bums. Gently because I have thick/coarse hair so have to worry about it cutting whether the dogs’ intestines or my own nether regions. With the pets I give them crap for eating food (or perceived food) from off the ground which is how they ingest my hair. They don’t listen. /Charlie Brown’s teacher’s voice/ My hair has killed vacuum cleaner beater bar belts, been woven into clothes and found in our dinner … but as far I know no one in the (human) family has ever pooped out one of them. ---

0.02 posts per day since 2012. And this is one of them? Reported. Better suited for IMHO, as this is an informal poll. ---

Reminds me of a cat I had, back in the '80s. He was experiencing emotional distress, and cracked open an audio cassette and ate the tape. For several days I was cutting off pieces of tape as it slowly emerged from his anus. ---

I’ll be the first to take this thread seriously and say yes, this happens to me occasionally. Sometimes I’ve even vomited clumps of hair. I don’t have a habit of nibbling my hair, so I suspect I do so in my sleep. Moreover, the frequency tends to go up the less i eat. ---

No. But I did have a cat running around the house a couple months ago, acting very disconcerted about something. It was a poo nugget hanging by a hair and the cat was trying to get away from the poo. ---

And here I thought this thread was going to be about the OP being besieged by intellectuals. I’m disappointed, although **SeaDragonTattoo’s** hilarious post kind of makes up for my disappointment. ---

I don’t have a habit of nibbling my hair, so I suspect I do so in my sleep. Moreover, the frequency tends to go up the less i eat. How are you made aware that the hair needs pulled out as opposed to naturally expelling it via bm? Is there a tickle or something? ---
