    I have a couple of hairs on each earlobe that randomly go rogue and grow to like 2 inches long. IDK where they got the idea that they should do that, it accomplishes nothing and makes them look foolish.

    I have a hair around the bottom of my ribcage, all by itself, that used to grow really long if I didn’t notice. First time I found it I thought it was a thread from my shirt until I realized tugging it hurt. I think it was 4-5 inches (~10-12 cm).

    Then there was the ingrown hair on my jawline that started looking like I had a botfly. That one was a few inches coiled up inside the cyst by the time I decided to cut it open and drain it. So…yay for at home minor surgery because I can’t afford to see a doctor! Go USA!

    Yes. Am a beardless woman. Except for that one recurring gnarly chin whisker that keeps sprouting up every few weeks. I pluck it.

    I feel like it’s an equation. The older you get, the more you look, the more you find! Now how long has that been there?! *pluck*

    Got a mole on my chin just outside what would be an appropriate goatee size that grows hair faster and denser than anywhere else on my very not hairy face. Some weeks I trim down just that mole because the rest of the peach fuzz is barely visible even after several weeks of growth

      Get computer duster spray, mask off the area around the mole with duct tape, invert the can and spray the propellant which will freeze it and substantially reduce its size.

      edit: clear the area of hair and oil, use a hole-puncher to make the duct tape mask. I’ve done this for warts, facial blemishes, those raised lip things… etc. Clean the area, use basic sanitation practices. Don’t pick-at or hassle the layer that scabs over and replenishes. Don’t go hog-wild with the freezing - try a smaller amount first and give it a week to see how it responds. That propellant is no toy

        Warning, doing this will cause a small burn, it will scab over and fall off in a few days. I have done it with a skin tag remover from the chemist, it works.

    Yeah I had one beard. One hair only, like an eyelash it was, not like my head hair. Seems to have finally given up though.

    Once or twice a year, I’ll get an eyelash that’s grey and weirdly long. Plucking it is so satisfying though.

      I have long lashes and once in a while I’ll see something on the edge of my vision that I can never actually see. It’s always an eyelash that webt rogue and grew in sideways.

      Another aspect of my long lashes is whenever my eyes water (I’m not crying you’re crying) it smears on my glasses.

    I’ve got a sliver one that grows on the bridge of my nose, right between my eyes. But I leave it, tell people that “I’m a unicorn, I’m fucking magical!”.

    My wife has one on her neck she hates with a passion.
