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

Ooh the Swiss Army knife with the hidden secret tweezers is a good tip!

I have four pairs of tweezers and at times they still ALL go awol. ☹️

This thread is giving me anxiety. I have both black and wiry white chin hairs. If all 3 pairs of tweezers went missing.....

I love this thread. I have found my chin-haired people!! Maddeningly, a few of them have started going grey and so now they are WAY more obvious.

I’m due to replace my favourite pair of tweezers but can’t find a pair as good as my regular set. Which sharp angled ones do folks recommend? A lot of the ones I’ve tried just end up breaking the hair instead of pulling it out. Those were even Tweezerman tweezers too I think.

Alternatively, if there’s such a thing as a tweezers sharpening set or file, I’d rather get that and sharpen the ones I have now.

I have to have tweezerman tweezers. Nothing else will do

Tweezerman will sharpen your tweezers but you have to send them off. Gives me the chills

You can temporary sharpen them by running them down sandpaper or a sandpapery nail file a few times.

I’m sorry your tweezers are temporarily missing. But I’m very pleased you mentioned the birth thing. I’m adding a pair to my bag for DC3 for sure.

I bought some Kovira tweezers from Amazon. They were a good price and are easily as good as my Tweezerman ones. The Tweezermans are bright pink and constantly get stolen. The Kovira ones are black and came with a small leather sleeve. This means that when having a sneaky rummage through my stuff, DDs don’t instantly recognise them as Tweezers. They never get nicked.

I love my tweezermans. Expensive but worth it.

Even my cat, who would win at the cat Olympics for knocking items off shelves and furniture, has never touched them. He knows not to mess with the tweezermans

I'd be annoyed too, and would probably stab OH with the tweezers upon their return, and see how he feels about his joke then.

Feed your DD and OH that cheap value bread for a couple of weeks and spend the cash you save on a second pair of tweezers. Hide them well (suggest sellotaped behind the headboard) and never ever share them - in fact don't even admit to having them.

At what age did you all start sprouting chin hairs?

My mum had 2 pairs of tweezers. She gave me one when I was 13ish.

I still have that pair over 20 years later. She still has the other pair. What are we doing wrong?!

Try these, OP.

£1.99 and they get the job done.

I pull mine out with my fingers.

I hear you. It's so annoying. Tweezers, scissors, straighteners, brushes, hairspray, nail files, make up wipes...all disappear out of my bathroom yet nobody has asked to borrow them and nobody has borrowed them. Oh no, they've grown legs and walked away.

Drives me bonkers. YANBU OP

Peace and harmony restored and I have a smooth chin

Book yourself some laser hair removal sessions.

My fiance plucks my chinny chin chin hairs for me with his fingernails. I'm rubbish at reversing the movement with tweezers in the mirror.

Buy one of these things. Tell her its an old lady 'tasche removed and she won't want to steal it (hopefully).

They are really good, transformed my life after years of painful waxing and the spotty after effects.

My chin hairs are getting more and more coarse as well as going grey. My eyesight isn't what it once was and I have to use a magnified mirror as well as a pair of reading glasses to pluck them out successfully. I can feel the hairs on my neck but can't see them properly to pull them out so end up pulling on the skin instead. They grow very long sometimes.Really don't like this ageing lark.

@thecatsthecats omg I couldn't let OH do mine lol though it probably wouldn't bother him. He's had to file my feet in late pregnancy though and tackle my lady garden

@mrswhiplington mine are very coarse too and I've started to get some white ones, my sister and I joke that if we grew them long enough that we could strangle our partners with them

@CrazyOldBagLady thanks il try one

I’m still laughing at your OH comments - sorry
