Which necessary personal grooming habits do you hate?

Here’s another vote for shaving.

I don’t mind shaving my pits, actually, since it does seem to keep the smell down. At least that can be rationalized as a useful thing to do. Legs, though…I hate shaving my legs. I especially hate it because I inherited my dad’s hairy genes, and while I’m nowhere as hairy as he was, I’ve got plenty of it.

I hate showering. I find it so boring. I do it anyway twice per week or so to wash my hair, but I take a bath every night, which is my favourite place to be.

Actually, delphica, you can isolate the hair washing. Go to a beauty supply store and buy a shower sprayer that you can hook up to your sink faucet. It’ll take a little care and practice but you can wash your hair without getting the rest of you wet.

As for me, I hate flossing so much, that when I finally hit the lottery, I’m gonna hire my own personal flosser. That is, if I still have all of my teeth left.

So, I’m not alone in the “hating personal grooming” league! Yay (I guess).

I hate getting ready for bed. I have to take out my contacts, brush my teeth and wash my face. It would just be so much easier to change and fall into bed.

I think the reason I stay up so late all the time is because it takes so damn long to get ready for bed, I just put it off.

I hate washing my face and brushing my teeth. I do it, but I don’t like it. Actually, once I get started brushing my teeth, I do a really thorough job, sometimes for up to 15 minutes. I guess I keep hoping that if I clean them very very well, I won’t have to do it again. sigh damn plaque.

When I am all snuggled up in my soft fuzzy bathrobe, with cool clean sheets awaiting me, the LAST thing I want to do is get my face all wet. It wakes me up and I don’t like it at all.

Paint me wierd but i like shaving…nice and clean with smooth skin but three days later there’s a bear in the house then shave again. Shave everyday and you’ve got a nice smooth clean looking young man, leave it a couple of days and you get a bit of designer stubble, shave it into a goatee, sideburns, moustache, chin tuft or a brazillian. There’s heaps of variation that is possible.

My pet hate, shovelling wax out of my ears. You know that spot that makes you cough when you touch it, mines hell sensitive, can make me gag sometimes but I’d rather gag than have a candle leaking out my ear.

Shaving sucks, but flossing is the worst. I agree with Steven Hedburg the comedian:

“Smokers say nonsmokers can’t understand how hard it is to stop smoking. I say yes we can. It’s just as hard as starting flossing. ‘Man, you look bad today.’ ‘Yeah, I’m just about to go floss.’”
