Least favourite part of self maintenance

lahalane

I really hate cutting my nails. I was in Australia for a while and the heat made them grow quicker (so I was told). It's in my top 10 reasons as to why I am glad that I came home.

Getting my fanjita waxed. I don't derive any pleasure from it whatsoever.

Combined with the username that made me chuckle.

Blowtorching my nostril-hair pisses me off a great deal. The things I do for Humanity. :cool:

Duckworth_Luas

Shaving my palms every morning!

Muise...

smear tests

I particularly dislike when they get all chatty to put me at ease.

No, not the heat. Extra vitamin D production in the skin maybe, bit not the heat

Tiddlypeeps

Drying my hair. It's so thick it takes ages, so boring.

Cutting toenails. Like leather, they are.

Shaving the face. Just a massive, time-consuming pain in the árse.

I'm very impressed if that truly is self maintenance.

Shaving my back everyday and plaiting my public hair would be my top self maintenance annoyances.

Oh, and putting on my acne cream, the company doing it assure me it is 'industry best practice'. It seems worth it. Below is a short demonstration video of how the treatment is conducted.

Are you a gorilla or something? Shaving takes a few minutes

Do them immediately after a shower or better still a bath soak, and buy a top quality nail scissors if you don't already have

I'd advise topping at the neck line.

I love preening myself, I feel like a big happy duck sometimes.:)

I'm just after cutting my own hair, never nicked myself once. So proud.

I hate getting me hair cut.

Because I don't want to look like I've got one of the Jackson Five peeping out from between my legs.

And it heightens sensitivity during playtime

getting my eyebrows threaded- ouch! :eek:

Does shaving your arse give you a massive pain in the face as well?

That is after a shower...

Cutting them before a shower would violate any number of UN Ordnances.

Being a connoisseur of an electric razor (I know, should be using blades all the way), I find the shaving of a two-day stubble the most time consuming.

Irish Guitarist

Cutting the nails on my right foot. It's really difficult to get at them. I find the nail of my big toe especially difficult as it's so thick. I usually cut it half way and then just pull it out the rest of the way. This usually works but a few months ago I made a mess of it. The toenail still hasn't grown back properly.

OT - but have you ever heard the word 'scooch' in another context?

It means a look around where I'm from e.g

'heading down the town a wee scooch'

Noted.

Now I won't slide awkwardly down a couch if I should ever hear that.

Savoir.Faire

It's not quite self-maintenance, but I loathe having to iron.

I'm a huge fan of shirts, and have rather a fetching collection of striped, floral, design and formal shirts. Having to iron them causes a little bit of me to die, as I find the entire activity so utterly boring. I've had to resort to a nifter of whisky on occasion to make the whole ordeal slightly more tolerable.

I hate washing my hair. I do it every 2/3 days but I always heave a sigh before getting into the shower. I just don't like the bother, and the fact that fecking loads of it always comes out in my hands - I'm lucky I have a hair-catcher thingy in the plughole or I'd have a coat hanger down the plughole every week!

Karl Stein

Plaiting the thick tufts of hair growing from my ears.

Fox_In_Socks

Bit fed up when I'm trying to equilibrate my eustachian tube.

What's the alternative, though?

Ihatecuddles-old

Dont do much preening to be honest, I never iron or moisturise or any of that jazz. I suppose hair removal is the worst.

Paddy Fields

Shaving... I let it go for days and that makes it worse. One of these days I'll do it daily or every other day.

Ha, need to be careful all right.

DonkeyStyle \o/

Ball sack hair density isn't high enough to justify taking a razor to it. Half an hour with a tweezers and you're laughing. No cuts, no itchy regrowth.

Or so I hear, etc., etc.
