Ask Lemmy

Nipples. Used to be none,

then one,

then three.

Then three in one follicle (two fine one thick).

I don't count them anymore, just yank em quick.

I have a couple of hairs on each earlobe that randomly go rogue and grow to like 2 inches long. IDK where they got the idea that they should do that, it accomplishes nothing and makes them look foolish.

I have a hair around the bottom of my ribcage, all by itself, that used to grow really long if I didn't notice. First time I found it I thought it was a thread from my shirt until I realized tugging it hurt. I think it was 4-5 inches (~10-12 cm).

Then there was the ingrown hair on my jawline that started looking like I had a botfly. That one was a few inches coiled up inside the cyst by the time I decided to cut it open and drain it. So...yay for at home minor surgery because I can't afford to see a doctor! Go USA!

I used to have one on my neck and every couple of weeks I'd go looking to pluck it. One day though it was gone. I kept reaching for it, but never found it.

Just as I was about to lose hope, lo and behold, it was right above my eyebrow. Now, is it the same hair? Who can tell. I have a feeling it got tired of being plucked out so it decided to migrate. That didn't work so well for it though.

Right smack dab in the middle of my forehead. My wife calls it my unicorn horn.

Yes. Am a beardless woman. Except for that one recurring gnarly chin whisker that keeps sprouting up every few weeks. I pluck it.

I once had a hair on my thigh grow to at least 5 inches. Then one day it was gone. I miss it dearly.

I used to have one right in the middle of my bald spot. I couldn't see it even with a clever arrangement of mirrors, but I could feel it. I think it must have been fair because it didn't stand out even amongst the apparent lack of hair*, but the root would sometimes feel like it was digging through my scalp.

Some days I'd spend longer than I'd like to mention trying to grab it blind with tweezers. On and off for years. Often got other fine hairs, but not that one.

One day I finally got it. It didn't look remarkable at all, at least not that I remember, but the feeling when it came out was something special.

Never been bothered by it since, so either I killed the root or set it right.

* If you get real close, it's actually kind of fuzzy, but for most intents and purposes there's nothing there.

I have a single grey hair in my eyebrow that is thicker, and more wiry than the others. It also suddenly sprouts to an inch long and sticks out.

Mine is in my neck, that bad boy has been trying to grow longer since 2005.

I feel like it's an equation. The older you get, the more you look, the more you find! Now how long has that been there?! *pluck*

I have a rogue eyebrow hair that my wife loves to yank for me when it gets an inch long.

I have a dark hair that grows out of the side of my nose. It's thicker and stiffer than anything else around, and it's painful to pull out every time it shows up.

Got a mole on my chin just outside what would be an appropriate goatee size that grows hair faster and denser than anywhere else on my very not hairy face. Some weeks I trim down just that mole because the rest of the peach fuzz is barely visible even after several weeks of growth

Yeah I had one beard. One hair only, like an eyelash it was, not like my head hair. Seems to have finally given up though.

One bastard nose hair. It grows long and it grows fast. Like sometimes it curls round inside the nostril and I don’t notice it for a week or two, then all of a sudden it pops out of my left nostril and it’s an inch long.

I try to get ahead of it some times but plucking a nose hair makes my eyes water like Niagara.

Once or twice a year, I'll get an eyelash that's grey and weirdly long. Plucking it is so satisfying though.

My right eyebrow has decided that there must be one hair that points directly forward and leans down into my vision. I've only plucked the offender a couple of times because I don't want to end up pulling out too many in that area but each time it has grown back like it wants to be shark teeth.

No random hairs that I notice, since I have quite a few without being a hairy beast. They all have friends.

Got one in my ear that's like a needle, thanks for the reminder

I got this one hair on my left arm that is hella thick and wiry and I pull it out about once a week and it's always way longer than what actually sticks through the skin. Like it'll be barely enough to grab with tweezers and then I pull it and it ends up being 1-2 inches long by the time I pull the root out.

I've got a sliver one that grows on the bridge of my nose, right between my eyes. But I leave it, tell people that "I'm a unicorn, I'm fucking magical!".

My wife has one on her neck she hates with a passion.

Got a one random hair on my adams apple, a few inches below my natural beard line
