To be pissed off with DD and OH

[bellsbuss]

On Saturday DD1 asked to borrow my treasured tweezers, I agreed on the condition that they were returned and that they were not to leave the house. This evening whilst watching tv I rubbed my chin and felt not 1, not 2 not even 3 but 4 hairs. I said to OH let's pause the tv whilst I pop to the loo, go to my makeup bag and no tweezers. I then remember DD has them but is at her boyfriends, ring her and she says that she has them with her and will return them tomorrow. I rant at her and then start ranting at OH how mad I am. The more he says it's only tweezers the angrier I get, the more he asks why I need them so desperately is making me boil. Now he knows I know that he knows why I want them but there's unwritten rule that it's not to be mentioned after I gave him the death stare when he caught me plucking once. He then proceeds to start saying repeatedly not by the hair on my chinny chin chin and cracking up laughing. I want to slap him

I own 4 pairs of tweezers in easy to find places around the house. Except I can't find any of them.

@Weathermonger that really is love , if tweezermans weren't so bloody expensive I would stockpile them. OH has just ordered me another pair though bless him so he can sleep easy tonight

Lockabox. Hide it away!

@DialsMavis I've managed to get one out with my nails but the other 3 are being stubborn buggers and my hand is aching from trying

@bellsbuss
OH has just ordered me another pair though. (tweezermans) .. bless him so he can sleep easy tonight

He has a super survival instinct after his teasing!
He sounds like a nice OH, bleesbuss. Pain on your behalf is subsidizing now...

@Whereismumhiding2 he is very good really and normally I laugh along with him but not over my chin hair lol. I know some posters have said it's only tweezers but I can guarantee you they don't get chin hair. When I was in hospital having my 3rd I had to stay in for a week so my sister had to bring me a pair in. She said I if I had go any longer I would have looked like a yeti

Bristling with discontent here too OP. My bright pink tiny tweezermans are currently walkabout !

I have a full on proper fecking beard, OP, I feel your pain. The quickest way to induce RAGE in me would be to hide my tweezers or blackhead remover.

DC & I have compromised. Tweezers & BH remover are tied to the terrifyingly honest magnifying mirror that lives on the southfacing window. They can't remove them, nor can they escape the horror.

Oh, and yeah, I'm another 'hairs on my chinny chin chin' victim. Thanks, kids.

YANBU

LTBs. All of them.

Argh! You’ve made me start rubbing my chin hairs now and I lost my tweezers last week

I have one pair of (cheapy) tweezers but if they go missing I'm on the rampage. However mine aren't for chin hair touch wood but for black hairs that spout up at random around my navel. I take great pleasure in tweezering them out

Tweezers, nail clippers, hair dryers, brushes, shoes, jackets, handbags..........young female humans are hard wired to collect these items and to secrete them in their lairs............fact

Hey sadeye my mate who married a Japanese guy told me what chin means, he was nearly sick laughing at that!

You only have 4 hairs!!!!!

Be thankful.

I have some interesting genetics and can trace my lineage back 2000 years.

I am immune to electrolysis

I had a pair of tweezers that I loved and were perfect and have never found again. Got them in Boots years ago but they changed them to far far inferior ones.

Dp borrowed them (without asking) to fix something wtf! they are now fucked! I love him but I don't think Iv ever been able to fully forgive him even 5ish years later

I buy tweezers every other month. They just vanish.....poof.....gone.

I found three pairs in my daughter bedroom and one in my eldest sons room.

If they only had a hole in the top I'd attach them to the bathroom cabinet with a chain.

Luckily the local pound shop is stocking fairly decent tweezers in packs of two.

IMO the tweezers in the Swiss Army knives are the best. They can grip a hair just as it's emerging from the skin.

We keep a Swiss Army knife in the bathroom cabinet. Only DH and I know of it's hidden tweezers.

Emergency tweezer substitute: Take two 1p coins. Trap hair between them (like a hair sandwich). Hold coins together VERY firmly and give a sharp tug. Don't ask how desperate I was to discover this!

Not by the hairs on my chinny chin chin LOL. He sounds funny; YABU for getting so angry but not unreasonable for being annoyed. Just get them back and never let her have them again

Think you’re making somewhat more of a fuss about a few stray hairs than is warranted. I would be annoyed if someone buggered off with my Tweezermans and would demand them back...but you seem overly worried about the hairs. Your dh is being childish in laughing at you too...women grow hair and there’s no shame in it. We’re not ornaments.

YABU to rant at your DH what has he done! But as for your DD I feel your pain eventually they move out and take all your stuff with them, you replace it, they visit and try to take your new stuff. I do miss her plucking my eyebrows though, DH won’t even try and as I am half blind I can’t do them myself.

You need more tweezers.

DD and I have around 6 pairs between us.

Blimey I've just looked at tweezerman tweezers on amazon. It's a whole new world of tweezers and my life will not be complete without a pair.

Just don’t be seduced by the claims made in electronic facial hair removal adverts. I wake up every morning looking like an extra from Pirates of the Caribbean.
