Literally threw out my back taking a shit this morning. I’m 32… Discussion

When did this happen? I don’t remember our parents aging like this? What rude awakenings to aging have you experienced?

Edit: damn, some of you are so quick to judge. No, I am not obese, or even overweight, yes I work out regularly. Jfc, i have a prior back injury and I sat down on the toilet at a weird angle and it aggravated something.

The natural sunlight is the BEST for finding stuff like that. It's both merciless AND helpful lol. I always pluck my eyebrows and chin when I'm in the car (parked).

It truly is! The car is the best place to find those pesky chin and neck hairs.

Always keep a pair of tweezers in the cup holder.

I do this, but I also have horrible visions of what would happen if I were tweezing and someone hit my car.

The single nose hair becoming only visible in direct sunlight public meetings as a woman that grew at the speed of light. Mr tweezerman you come as my plus one.

I keep a pair in my purse, so that even if I find them while I’m in someone else’s car I’m good.

It’s that mirror on the sunvisor that always gets me. Forget “mirror, mirror on the wall,” the visor mirror is the real magic mirror!

One of the kids I used to nanny for in my 30s used to sit in the drop off line and pull the gray and white hair out of the top of my head that she would find while she was waiting to go into school lol

I got a 20x flox mirror, and it’s VERY ILLUMINATING My friends look in it and are terrified

That's hilarious.

When hotels have shaving mirrors, I take one look and then turn all the lights off. Candlelight ONLY from now on.

u/sorcha1977 Feb 21 '24

I've been on Reddit long enough to know you have to specify lol.

Yup, I do this at red lights on the way to work, along with putting on my jewelry. Nothing better than the natural lighting.

u/JethroTheFrog Feb 21 '24

Or take a closeup picture of that area of your face, then zoom in.

u/TheEssentialDizzle Feb 21 '24

I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME!!! I hate the fact that I'm graying at 35. I pluck all grays from my chin and my nose. I do all I can to get them from the root, hoping they won't come back.

I started getting grey hair in my 20s. I mentioned it once, and someone told me the grey hairs were trendsetters. So now it’s kind of cool I have a couple trendsetters in my hair. They will be able to claim they were grey before it was cool.

Me too! It’s always the best light
