    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.

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

    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

    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.

    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 :D

    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.

    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.

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

    'heading down the town a wee scooch'

    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.
