*I cannot for the life of me stand nostril hair. I'm not even hairy and I can't stand it when it sticks out. Now it's to a point I can't stand it even if it's few millimeters long. I end up keep touching it and fussing over it. I used to use a rotating blade based trimmer but that doesn't cut close enough. I spent $30 on a grinding trimmer that cuts to the skin. It's awesome.

*I've never used a clipper to trim my fingernails in my life. I just bite them off.

*I use the clippers for my toenails but I have this OCD habit of clipping them REAL short which makes me toe bleed. I think it's because if I"m going to cut them, I'll cut them REAL short so the regrowing internal is longer. It may sting or hurt a bit, but I feel satisfied.

What's yours?

if i am in a car and the driver leaves the wipers to go when they need to be slowed down or stopped because the rain has slowed. and they make this horrific sound... i hate it, it makes me cringe....

I'm a sucker for that too! It's annoying when ppl use wipers too fast or too slow for the amount of rain appropriately.

What about those of us who use Rain-X and don't need the wipers on? :p

I use rain-x AND bosch icon bracketless tension wipers. My windshield is pretty much waterproof. :)
