Well, I guess at least it was something to do...

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Trapped for two hours down at the Department of Vital Records yesterday. That was fun. And by fun I mean...not fun.

Anyways, lady across from me while I was waiting pulled out a pair of tweezers and started working on her beard hairs.

I guess it gave her something to do (tweeze) and also me something to do (watch in morbid fascination.)

I'm not sure if I was more impressed at her lack of giving even a single shit that she was sitting there in front of God and everyone pulling out her beard hairs in a crowded public place, or the fact that she was doing this without a mirror.

No mirror, tweezers right there at the ready, and the ability to do it without looking. This seems to be a skill she has honed through serious practice.

Impressive.

I got my much needed laugh this morning. Thank you!

Really, Bee? TBH I'm kinda disturbed that she would do this in public. What she does behind closed doors is her business, but where random strangers can see?

Our local bearded lady just lets it grow,I think she might've trimmed it a bit in the last 20 years or so

that reminds me being back in HS, and at the pool one hot summer day. There was a woman ona lounge chair nearby, and she was plucking her nether-region hair out with tweezers, in plain view of everyone!

Anyways, lady across from me while I was waiting pulled out a pair of tweezers and started working on her beard hairs.

Maybe she hoping to gross out the people in front of her so that they would leave and she could get waited on sooner. Assuming the clerk wasn't also grossed out into leaving.

Hmmm... I'll have to keep that trick in mind for my next trip to the DMV. Except I'll use tweezers and nose hairs.

Nah, they take numbers around here. You take a number and wait. And, evidently, do some hair removal.

Conversations that just (and I mean JUST, as in five seconds ago) happened with husband:

Me: Hey, did you see that lady plucking her beard hairs at the vital stats place yesterday?

Husb: No. Somehow, I missed that. (he was playing with his phone)

Me: I would say one plucks beard hairs so nobody knows you have 'em. I submit to you if everyone sees you plucking them, that goal is not achieved.

Husb: No, I was looking at that fucker we practically had to climb over to get out of there.

Me: Mr. Annoying Celll Phone?

Husb: No. Mr. Obnoxious Asshole Huge Neck Tattoo wearing a wool cap in hunnert degree heat.

Me: I didn't see that guy, I was looking at the cell phone asshole by that point.

Husb. That guy was covered with tattoos, although I guess when it comes time for the cops to come get that guy, the huge orange pumpkin on his fucking neck will narrow it down. The Led Zeppelin winged Icarus on his leg will only narrow it down to about ten thousand people.

Ah, yes. Government offices.

We've got a guy from the Mass. DOR sitting in the conference room auditing our sales records to make sure we don't owe back sales tax. My desk faces through a window right at him. Since doors are open he can hear everything in here.

I had to explain I wasn't laughing at him.

Then I felt obliged to explain what I *was* laughing at.

So you've just made Massachusetts tax collector laugh out loud, RK. Here's hoping he goes easier on us now.

[PepperElf]

hmm. maybe she should try a home waxing kit....

not that i know anything about those

[telecom_goddess]

Oh god only you would run into something like that Kink. That's amazing.

Yeah totally something that needs to be done in private.

There is one woman I've run into with flea market days who has a thick ass mustache and does NOTHING to get rid of it....

Please, God, tell me the hyphen that should be there reads "thick-ass" and not "ass-mustashe." --My Sanity

yup sorry it's on her face lol....not much better though.

[Andara Bledin]

I get a few bristly chin hairs every so often, and I can pluck them with no mirror using only my fingernails.

But I do that shit either at home or at work where nobody can see me.

^-.-^

I believe you. I had a few mustached and bearded women go through my line at the fabric store. I don't mean a few dark hairs at the corners of the mouth, I mean thick facial hair like The Edge or Johnny Depp! Made me wonder if there was something in the water...
