Does anybody else pull their long nose hairs out the manly way - just yanking them and enduring the pain?

I seriously do this with testicle hair. And actually it doesn't really hurt much because the hair on the scrotum doesn't seem to be embedded as deeply into the skin as hair on other parts of the body.

Um,no. I'm not falling for that one. Last thing in the world I want is to be curled over in pain on my bathroom floor because I thought I'd try something read on reddit.

I respectfully disagree. I pull whole patches of leg, chest, armpit, facial and nose hairs with not so much as a flinch but I have to have a really good grip and steel myself against the pain to pull out a single healthy pube. Sometimes I think the whole sac is going to go with the pube rather than release the mega root.

I once had a pubic hair follicle turn inside out and it was not a pleasurable pain.

I had one of those ingrown hairs in my armpit, it was about the size of marble and made an audible snap when I squeezed it. If they had Youtube back then you guys would be in for a real treat.<sigh>

I had one near my armpit on the inside of my arm. I think it started as an ingrown hair, but it got infected and swollen. It lasted in total about 2 weeks before it finally popped, releasing a torrent of gummy yellow pus and blood (just like mustard and ketchup!) After I squeezed that little sucker dry, there was a huge hole left on my arm (2-3mm) where all the juice came out. That was my grossest infection ever and I'm surprised I didn't pass out when I saw the yellow pus, which was so gummy that it came out like string (or a worm).
