There is one eyelash on my left eye and one on my right that never, ever, grow in properly, like impacted wisdom teeth but without the good drugs you get to have those taken out. Each time they grow, it takes awhile for them to get long enough to be removed and I squint a lot and rub my eyes and fume. My hair is relatively long but fine, and also a good deal thinner at the front than the back. Every six months, several new hairs get to just the right length to wave gently right around eyelash level and just stay there. They are impossible to pin back or braid and they slip free from hairbands like keratin ninjas. Particularly obnoxious if I need to use both hands and can't safely swipe at the drat things. But then, whenever the stars are right, both of these irritating types of hair arrive together and I spend a week clawing at my face to rid it of this maddening scratching-wispy-itch that interferes with my vision and sanity. What ridiculously small irritant completely destroys your equilibrium? |

Nothin' a couple cups of Crisco can't solve, op. I hate it when my nose hairs get long enough that they get tickled and make me sneeze. Usually that's when I rip them out, which also makes me sneeze. Life is rough. |

I have a couple of small, dark, hairs on my upper-lip that are riiiiight near my nose and getting rid of them is painful and also, yes, sneeze-inducing. This is the stupidest design for a body.

sometimes a bunch of beard hairs will decided they all want to grow out of the same spot, so i get one really thick and short hair and the area around it is super sensitive. i can't do anything about it until it reaches a certain length, and then i can finally pluck them and it is a huge relief

i have a mole on my right shoulder that i still don't recognize as part of my body. it's not huge or irregular or anything but frequently i'll touch it and have a moment of panic thinking a tick or something is on me before remembering.

I have a moustache hair that grows into the corner of my mouth sometimes and, like you, I have to wait for it to grow out long enough to capture and pluck. I call him "fucky". https://i.imgur.com/QKTkerO.mp4 |

been trying to grow my beard out. like a typical goon the hair on my chin is hella more luxurious than on the sides of my face. every attempt to try and even it out has not changed my current status of southeast regional 3rd runner-up, grizzly adams lookalike contest. ---------------- |

I love to pluck one hair that only grows every other month in the dead center of my cheek. It’s clear. I have collected them in an old cigar box. I weighed the box on a scale. On the other end of the scale I put a family sized pack of generic Twizzlers. They now weigh the same. |

Particularly obnoxious if I need to use both hands and can't safely swipe at the drat things. during the pandemic era of self hair care I have had this experience of floaty super fine hairs that keep wanting to touch my face, it is indeed maddening I will occasionally discover random sneeze triggers. there was a summer when I walked a certain route every workday morning and without fail, at the same general place on the route, I would suddenly have to sneeze like three or four times. it was probably the pollen of some kind of plant or tree, it was just hilarious that it happened so reliably. I also do photosensitive sneezing sometimes, and also sometimes scratching at a certain area on my face will make me sneeze. what I think annoys me the most about being locked into a series of sneezes is when you're with someone who feels an obligation to comment, especially in an ongoing way. like the kind of person who will say "bless you" after the first sneeze (that's fine of course), but then when the second sneeze comes will say "bless you," the emphasis helpfully indicating that this was not your first sneeze, and you can just tell that there will be several more sneezes each followed by an increasingly urgent emphasis of the word "bless" by your friend and there is not a thing you can do about it.

Seemingly random, often fleeting muscle impingements in my right shoulder. What is it from? Am I dying? Why is this hap-oh it's gone. *proceeds to forget* Two days later: ow gently caress, what the he-it's gone. |

Let it be known henceforth that only I am allowed to tell people on the Internet about carbonic acid. When I got my new glasses, they caused a blister on my nose. I guess it's a callous now. I've never had nose pads before. |

How do I begin? Or better yet, how did I begin? How do we all begin? If I began with a word it would not be correct. I am not a derivative of a word. I am not an assembly of letters spoken out of another’s mouth. A fricative heaved over the interdental dam of creation. Carried away to a world unknown are each of these utterances, made with each breath. Maybe I began as breath. Breath breathed into a void that would not be lacking if it were not for the absence of what it had been waiting all this time for. A partnership instantaneously adjoined as they birth each other. One, the black, emptiness humming with endless unknowns and the other a flow of life, nubile and eager to touch hands with that void. Always curious, slightly afraid, forever dancing an endless dervish of expansion toward an unknown and unknowable future. A future that must return from where it began when the flow ceases to emerge. A rewinding of experience near the final moments as if to bundle up and stow away the journey as a journal while making room for the next expedition to commence, bounded forward on the tales of prior travels. I am breath. This breath was breathed into existence for its duration to fuel those that need the nourishing of life as it comes in the moments between breaths. Alright. I’ve begun with a breath. Which is by all accounts a good thing to have happen in your life. The breathing part, very crucial. In fact so crucial I do it every time I speak. Those words cannot happen without breath first. It’s quite the chore. So much so, that I feel it should be regulated by someone. Maybe I’ll take it up. |

I (briefly) did Kuk Sool and had a white belt and was then upgraded to a yellow-stripe to show that I was no longer a rank newbie but also hadn't yet passed to officially yellow. I think the belt stuff is a bit silly but, eh. Whatchagonnado. Everywhere, everyone is red and green |

the whole anectodal, probably completely made up bullshit story I remember hearing about the belt system was based on the idea that, in the days of yore, you never washed your belt. So, as you gained experience, your belt got progressively dirtier, from white, to yellowish, to orangeish, to brown, and finally to black. The idea being, that if you ever saw someone with a black belt, you knew to give them a wide berth, because that was a person who has not washed in years. |

My hair will not braid. Will. Not. I've tried everything I know to get the loving pile of ASSHOLERY to gently twist into a comfortable shape, but, no. It's all floaty hairs that also cling to everything but each other, weird areas of tangling (I just loving brushed you, you gently caress! KNOCK IT OFF), and a stubborn refusal to let me know something has gone wrong from the start until I think I've finished and GODDAMN I HAVE TO TRY AGAIN but this loving HAIR suddenly decides it's happy where it is and won't come unbraided without a running firefight with the brush. I'm getting it shaved off. That'll show it. Serves it right. I WILL SET YOU ALIGHT AND DANCE AROUND YOUR PYRE SINGING SONGS OF JOY AND VICTORY. Everywhere, everyone is red and green |
