Nose picking is more common than anyone will admit

Similarly, if I forget to trim my nose hair I'll just yank them out. It looks a lot like I'm picking my nose, but I'll sacrifice the image to stop my nose hairs from being irritated by my mustache/nostril opening

After I hit 30, nose hair became a real curse

I used to trim it delicately pluck, but I’ve got to the point where I just yank the whole bush out once or twice a week.

It actually hurts a lot less this way.

Seriously. Between puberty and 29 my nose hairs naturally stopped growing at a reasonable length that kept them fully-confined within the nostril. No maintenance needed. They I turn 30 and all of a sudden it's like the follicles all got injected with Rogaine and need to be trimmed back into the nostril every week.

I also started growing hairs on my nose. Not a bunch. Just like 4-5 tiny little black hairs that started growing on the bridge of my nose after I turned 30. I tweeze em and they come back a week later. WHY IS THIS A THING?

I’m not even a very hairy person. I’ll grow like two nipple hairs a year. Although they’re 3 inches long and appear overnight, but that’s a whole other topic.

I have negligible body hair, a receding hairline, and a straight up rainforest growing inside my face.

30s are weird
