I rather like popping zits, how I spend my saturday nights.

Once I was cleaning my ear with a q-tip, well I got sidetracked and left the q-tip in. Then the phone rang and I when I pressed it up to my ear.

ouch.

When I pulled it out I could see what was on my mind ;-)

<< Applying lubricant to the anal canal using nothing more than your god-given pointer finger. Not something you do every day, of course, but hemorrhoids do happen. And for those times, it's Preparation-H to the rescue. >>




Yeah, um, that's a little bit too personal. lol. :)


and i have to shave every 2 weeks, with an electric razor, or i will not look pretty. as soon as i shave my face, i get a ton of ingrown hairs. it's fun pulling little hairs out of the side of my cheek every week! :p

waxing my innner thigh? hmm since i am a guy, i haven't tried that one. **shudders** i voted for poking your brain with a q-tip. that smarts. shaving sucks though, but i don't get razor burn that much anymore. i have a goatee and that area of the chin was always the most painful. but i have strong thick facial hair so i go through razor blades like there is no tomorrow. i get more burn from an electric razor than i do a mach 3 or anything of the sort.

<< Puncturing your eardrum with a Q-tip >>

Probably...but I'm not stupid enough to jam Q-tips in my ear so no problem.



<< Cutting your nails to the quick >>

I dunno about that, but I accidentally ripped off my small toenail while trying to cut it the other day. It was sheared off at about a 45 degree angle, so about 1/2 of the nail bed was exposed and it was bleeing and crap. Didn't hurt that much though, and it was kind of a one time occurance.



<< Shaved pubes growing back in and itching >>

Don't shave my pubes...



<< plucking a nose hair >>

Doesn't hur that much.



<< soap in your eyes >>

I generally just close my eyes while I have shampoo in my hair. I can the soap/shampoo rack and the water stream by feel.



<< waxing your inner thigh >>

Again...don't do it.



<< brushing out knots in your hair >>

This can be annoying....especially with what the chlorine does to my hair, but I just keep my hair cut short.



<< popping zits >>

Don't really get many zits, never did, and I'm more or less past the age.



<< putting aftershave on the aforementioned razorburn >>

That feels soooo good. It stings a bit a first from the alcholol, but after about 30 seconds it feels good. Takes away the redness and tenderness of your skin.

Anyways, now that I've itemized your list, by far my least favourite thing to do is Shave.
I hate the time it takes to shave every day, and I hate razorburn quite a lot.
But I look like a wolf after 2 or 3 days if I don't shave :(

I also don't floss my teeth very often, but that's just laziness.
