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!

They must have a purpose though surely? Nature hasn't just randomly decided that we need a healthy bush of nasal pubes in middle age for no reason at all.

No yabu. I love a thick hank of lustrous nose hair. Longer the better.

You mean on women? Never seen nose hair on females and never had it myself.
On men YUK.. but l don't like beards and mustaches either.. or hairy chests/ backs.. testicles. I think l suffer with chaetophobia.

Hideous - that and hairy ears. Fortunately, my OH feels the same way and has no fear of tweezers and a magnifying mirror, or our marriage might not have survived.

Possibly the only positive about the pandemic was no longer having to avoid hairy-nosed males who seemed to think going in for a peck in the cheek by way of greeting was perfectly acceptable social behaviour.

I can now only think about nasal plaiting. It’s forever embedded in my brain 😂

theduchessofspork · 12/01/2024 19:45

Or you could market some tiny scrunchies for nasal plaiting? That would make all the difference.

Why does 'taking care of yourself' equate to removing hair that grows naturally?

Who decided that hair is bad?

I couldn't really care less tbh.

Think of them as a nose bouquet OP, and their beauty shall be revealed

💐🤧💋

Nose hair I can ignore but BO is unforgivable.

Haha. Very funny. Comedic genius here so far!

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

Lock them up and throw away the key.

I have lovely long hairs coming out of my piglike nose like a nest of spiders live up there.

I trim but every now and again when I'm waxing my legs and armpits, moustache and disturbingly luscious beard I decide to wax them too. I always seem to forget that the last time I did that I nearly pulled my brain out and the pain of ripping out a rather impressive thatch made me cry. Oh, it wasn't so bad, I lie to myself.

Absolutely. Need a visit from the nose hair police.
