That one bloody stray hair.......

We’ve all got them, unless we suffer from alopecia or something similar.

I’ve got this stubborn old man hair that hangs off’ve the end of my jawbone. It’s not cool 'cos I’m a female thingy. It’s thick and white and my kids give me much grief about it, pointing and laughing at my gender-inappropriate hirsute disability. And no matter how many times I pluck it out, it grows back more lustrous each time.

I’m fucken sick of this fucken hair.

Grrrrrrr.

Have you considered electrolosys? If it’s only one hair it shouldn’t cost much and my mum’s doctor recommended it to her for a similiar problem. She’s getting it done by a dermatologist, even!

Hah…I reckon calling in the dermatologist sounds grouse, but alas, probably not quite called for in this situation.

It’s a lousy delinquent hair. More apt for swearing at than seeking specialist medical advice!!

:smiley:

What I wanna know is, how come the dirty bastards appear, overnight, fully grown? I’ve got a twofer - two hairs coming out of one hair follicle - on the top edge of my left areola. The area is in plain sight, all the time.* Yet I’ve never ever not-once seen a little bitty short baby hair there. Nope. It’s not there one day and Bang! It’s an inch long the next. Makes no sense, I tells ya…

*I’m trying to figure out how to amend that to: “well, all the time when I’m not wearing a shirt and bra, which is at least several times a day now that I’m pupming milk and staring at the darn things all the time, but even before that I went topless a lot, so I do know pretty well what my areolas look like.” But it seemed to interrupt the flow of the rant. Just pretend it worked out, OK?

I swear they know they’re gonna get plucked once you notice them - since inevitably they’re thicker than the rest of your hairs and thus more annoying - so they just kind of lurk under the surface and grow there, like an ingrown that doesn’t get stuck and infected. Then when they’re some godawful embarrassing length, they just sneak out some night and wait for you to discover them - or better yet, someone else to find it and then alert you.

My chin hairs don’t get insanely long - like a centimeter at most - but they make up for that in numbers. I have at least four, and it seems like no matter how often I grab the tweezers and groom, they come back before I know it.

I don’t even want to talk about my areolae… I just try to get the tweezers out weekly and keep the growth in check.
