To think that DH has a duty to bloody well tell me about my witchy black chin hair.

[Brutalista]

He noticed it today in the sunshine. I'd not seen it before and was aghast, it must have been there for weeks pointing twiggily at anyone who encountered my face.

"I didn't want to tell you because I didn't think you'd like it"

and I found a white one which has just fucking topped it off really.

Aha! it's all downhill from here OP! Now you've got one you will get hundreds. Sprouting secretly overnight! Under your jaw....on your chin...then...they CREEP UP YOUR CHEEKS!

YANBU, DD2 was serverly berated for not telling me that I had a huge black hair growing out of my neck :(

YANBU

I suppose to a man a big black hair on your chin is not really worth mentioning.

He probably thought you were growing it out

YANBU.

However, I appear to grow stealth-hairs. They lurk beneath the skin for weeks, then pop out all of a sudden, a centimetre long. Bastards.

I am another one with stealth hairs - I have one folicle on my cheek so I check it regularly (hair issue has been around a long time and pregnancy made it a LOT worse) and it is never there and then suddenly it is about an inch long!

You will soon turn into a chimpanzee constantly stroking your chin to check - and have tweezers in all sorts of places!

I have ones that sprout & grow all in a couple of hours as the fuckers aren't there in the morning when I check do my make-up but can pluck them by lunchtime

I quite enjoy my morning pruning session. I run my finger across my chin to feel for the slightest tip of a hair, then yank it out with tweezers. They can be massively long.

I even get grey ones.

In fairness to your DH, Bolshier is right - chin like a baby's bottom first thing in the morning and a flaming great broomstick appears by tea-time!

I've taken the precaution of making my daughter promise that in the event that I'm ever hospitalised, admitted to a care home or just generally lose my marbles her first priority is to visit with a pair of tweezers at regular intervals!

Pondering my arrangement with my daughter (above), why on earth don't they include Facial Hair Grooming in an Enduring Power of Attorney??

YANBU

DP does this. I'll see a huge chin hair and wail 'why didn't you tell me??' And he'll proclaim he just doesn't think its a big deal or that he doesn't 'see me like that'. I've told him in no uncertain terms I want to know about straggly gross hairs I might produce.

After a week in bed with flu last week, I surfaced to find several of the nasty hairs sprouting out of my face. I need some kind of alert, or a very good friend.

I've bought a tiny Victorinox keyring/penknife purely because it has tweezers included.

Going through a course of electrolysis to get rid of the bastards at the moment. My beard treatments. When you sprout white ones, laser doesn't work. YANBU but you are very lucky your hairs don't have a lot of little friends I do the chimpanzee thing all the time

Just to make sure - you all have an agreement with a friend to come and pluck you should you find yourself in a coma don't you? One of the most reassuring pacts I have ever made (we even have an alternate in case we are both involved in the same accident, such is my commitment to NOT lying in a hospital bed with a full beard!)

Ha ha - somehow missed your post Optimist! Great minds think alike...

I have a pruning session most every mornings
And yes , how on earth does a 2 inch long thick black hair appear from nowhere overnight

Please be assured OP that it hasn't been there for weeks. It appeared overnight.

I know this as I check my chin every day. Nothing. Then the next day usually when I'm not within reaching distance of a tweezer it's there, waving at me defiantly. Bastards

I'm lucky enough to have an adult DD who I can absolutely rely on to tell me of any rogue facial hair, if I "have breath", if my concealer has settled nicely into the wrinkles, if my bum looks big, if I look like mutton etc etc. I both hate it and am eternally grateful for it. She's agreed that if I'm in a coma she's in charge of dealing with my facial hair, so that's something .

How old are you all? I got my first beard hair in my early 20s and wept. Being a pale skinned Scandinavian type blonde I didn't think I'd get them

Me too, Fickle, and it seriously annoys me that I can't use the DDs Lumina, because they're all very pale blonde or white. Except bastard neck hair, I'm waiting patiently for it to reappear, then I'm going to nuke the bastard.

The white ones are just as bad, they glint in the sunlight

I'm 39. I've had one stealth hair that's been appearing since my late teens, I can handle that little bugger.

But this is new and honestly nearly an inch long. I know because I've kept it as exhibit A in the death of my marriage

Clearly he can't be trusted to be my coma plucker, I need to enlist someone else and sharpish.

I always discover them when stuck in traffic - so I keep tweezers in the car as the sunvisor mirror and lots of light is the best place to sort them! I do wait till I am in a carpark and do it discreetly!

YABVU
I would be mortified if my DH pointed out my chin hairs
I'd rather just carry on pretending I'm lush - as I do

I make my DP tweeze mine for me, it's only the one but it's in an awkward place that I can't see under my chin.

I'm 42, pale skinned and dark haired. I got them first in my late 30s. I like plucking them. I feel like they cry "Nooooo!!! PLEASE don't slay us!!" as I rup them out! And I'm all "HA! Die you hairy bastard! DIE DIE DIE!!"

Small pleasures.
