to be so glad Movember is over

I work in an office of men. Approximately 80 of them. They all decided to do Movember, even the ones who already had taches decided to go the whole hog and get the full face fungus going. I don't know what it is about them, but taches really creep me out. I mean big time serious ewwness. I can't help thinking things like: what might be harboured in the bristles? are they tasting their breakfast when they lick their lips mid morning? and what on earth is with all that stroking??

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the cause and it is about time attention was given to male cancer. Raising awareness of diseases which can be better treated when caught earlier is never a bad thing. But if I have to hear one more bloke ask me if I am doing Fanuary he is going to get panned.

(btw this was semi-tongue in cheek, but taches really do gross me out)

I am glad too but mainly because it means my DH is clean shaven again. I think some people really suit moustaches - my Dad being one of them, but DH has mousy blond hair and a bright ginger tache. Also, while he can grow a good beard, his tache doesn't really grow very well so he has spent the whole of November looking like a pubescent boy. Not his sexiest look.....

Me too! I literally haven't kissed DH for a whole month because it made me feel sick!
We have a 3 month DS and had to postpone new family photos so the hairy caterpillar on his lip (DH's!) wasn't in them!Grin

YADNBU! I hadn't kissed DH for he whole month, I hated it Grin

SantasLittleControlGeek · 03/12/2012 19:29

Oh phew!! Thank you ladies, I was a bit worried it was just me Xmas Grin

Sorry to those of you whose DPs/DHs made the effort. Mine asked if he should and I said 'Hell No' at the same time as giving him 'that look'. The topic never came up after that

Another one whose dp didn't get a kiss all month. He looked like a German porn star - it was really not attractive.

SantasLittleControlGeek · 03/12/2012 19:38

remus you have just reminded me - one of the normally non-tached guys was all tached up and still came in in his wife's spotty dress for children in need. It was more than the eyes or the imagination needed to see!

Yanbu. I really am freaked out by taches, they petrify me. I had nightmares after watching Gangs Of New York because of the tache. I am scared of DH in Movember.

StinkyWicket · 03/12/2012 21:12

YANBU.

Very few men look nice with just taches. Tom Selleck is one.

The guy in my office who looks like he should be on some kind of register....not so much.

I told DH if he did movember I would put him on a sex ban. Movember free house here Xmas Grin
