To think unsightly bushy nose hairs should be banned?

Nothing grosses me out more than a person with a full bush protruding from their nose. You just think to yourself how these people get ready in the morning, look in the mirror and then think it’s acceptable to leave the house with disgusting black or grey hairs sticking out. Only takes a few seconds once a month to remove every nose hair you have and for you to look significantly more presentable!

YABU, they should be cultivated and styled. I am contemplating a handlebar nose hair look. Last year, I tried a ponytail on my nose hair. Might even get the old hair dye out as green nose hair might become a thing?

Don't limit your imagination OP, embrace the possibilities!

Body shaming??? How is it body shaming! I’m asking people to go shave their nostrils of protruding hair.

Yeah the nose is part of the human body last time I checked.

I've never trimmed my nose hairs in my life, and I've no intention of starting now.

Methylated spirit on a wire bud set alight and tapped on your ears to burn the hair away.

Because I get a great haircut, eye brow trim, ears flamed, nose wax £14 +tip. 😁

No, no, further up thread I said my Dw thinks it looks hilarious when I get my nose waxed at the Turkish barbers on the odd occasion she has been with me.

Why are you, as a female, attending a Turkish barber? Or are you a man hiding in plain sight?

I’d send them off to the Turkish Barbers to get it scorched off with a blow torch ( of sorts )

They don't care or don't realise (poor eyesight) or forget to.

Just look people in the eye

They actually protect you from airborne infections. People with nose hair are less likely to get respiratory viruses, they trap them.

Shaving their nostrils? 😳 I don’t have any hair protruding from my nostrils yet (fully appreciating that I’m pre menopausal) but hopefully we agree that that sounds grim and have some sympathy?!

Grazyna80 · 12/01/2024 21:24

I’m with you on that one OP, I find them nasty too. I can’t help it! I’m slightly short sighted though, so I don’t notice it much. Mine included.

Why shouldn't they?

FlutterShite · 12/01/2024 21:16

@Moier I read that to say that your nose hair is joining up with your eyebrows, and thought I'd found a kindred spirit!

Wytchy · 12/01/2024 21:14

I knew you'd get lots of terse responses, OP, telling you to respect people's tufty nostriled autonomy.

Cantrushart · 12/01/2024 21:11

And yet if you were to tell people to stop painting on weird big eyebrows, injecting jelly into their lips or squeezing themselves into inappropriately tight clothing - all active choices - you would be call every name under the sun. Nose hair is not an active choice. It can be the result of hormonal imbalance, poor eyesight, unsteady hands or just a lack of time or concern with personal appearance. Maybe people have better things to do.

XenoBitch · 12/01/2024 21:10

YABU.

They are not harming anyone or anything except your own personal taste.

Cuppachuchu · 12/01/2024 20:25

There is a good reason we have them, and it's to repel germs and dirt.
Also, plucking them can create infections and can even result in serious illness (your brain is right behind there).

They obviously don't need to be so long though, or everyone would have long nose hair from birth or puberty?

Is there a reason for ear hair?

Plucking sounds excruciatingly painful. Trimmers are available.

Once a month at Turkish barbers whilst getting haircut.

Haha. Very funny. Comedic genius here so far!

Still think they’re unsightly and people should take better care of themselves.

I was going to say "to each their own" but then you added this twat of a comment.

Who made you judge and jury? I bet there is plenty others could pick apart about you too because we each see beauty in different things. You will only be perfect to yourself
