How common is it for women over 40 to have chin hairs ?

I'm a 41 years old woman and I'm very embarrassed. I keep getting these chin hairs and I keep plucking them. I hear that unfortunately this can happen to women over 40 but I'm wondering how common is it.
Also what to do about it, other than plucking them with tweezers.

has anyone mentioned toe hair yet or am I the only hobbit?
On our breaktme durimg development day someone mentioned hairy toes, I cant remember how the subject came up but I denied knowledge of such things. I didnt want to admit my toes don't need socks as they are well covered!!

I'm in my 50s and this has never happened to me, but I am overall not a very hairy person, I mean I have head hair and eyebrows, but my underarm hair was always quite sparse, and I never had to shave my legs, so I might be the exception.

In my 50s and not had these either. My under arm hair wasn’t sparse though and I did shave my legs when younger.

I also have Denis Healey eyebrows that pop up overnight. They get plucked as well
