Having achieved the ripe old age of 57, this year I made what I think can be classed as an "older person" purchase: a nose hair trimmer. Yes, I felt the time had come, sigh. (Since I'm still dealing with the bleeding issue that hopefully the recent surgery will address, I was a bit bitter about buying panty liners and a nose hair trimmer in the same month.)
I then went through what I expect are probably the classic steps of New Nose Hair Trimmer Ownership:
- A cautious, gentle trim that didn't have much of an effect.
- An all-out, in-every-turn trim that left the inside of my nose feeling tender. No actual bleeding, but definitely ouchie for a few days.
Everyone probably does that, right? If you haven't, well, consider yourself warned.
Been there, my friend.
ReplyDeleteJust picking myself up after falling on the floor laughing - with you, not at you. They should really come with a big warning label. Or do they, and I just didn't pay attention and threw it out. Also I then read that taking out all the hair is not great for allergies because of their filtering properties. Ah well, buzz and learn I guess.
ReplyDeleteI obviously do want the filters, but stay inside, hairs! No poking out.
DeleteYep. I’m more angry about the mustache, to be honest.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the laugh! And I second the mustache thing, formerly enhanced by the fact that before my retina surgery I could only see them on one side.
ReplyDeleteMy old person (at age 38) thing is now I have to pluck these damn chin hairs that grow for no reason. WHY?!?!?!
