Today, I discovered that my mother uses my eyebrow tweezers to pull ticks off the dog. She also hasn't figured out that just dipping the tweezers in alcohol doesn't automatically sterilize them. Especially if there is icky dog hair still stuck on. FML

Today, I picked my dog up and nibbled her ear. On the tip of her ear was a large tick, which burst, sending blood into my mouth. FML

Today, my mom has a habit of trying to pull out what she thinks are loose hairs in my beard. My beard hairs are actually just really, really long, not falling off. She'll confidently yank one that she thinks isn't attached, causing a sharp pain until she realizes it's attached. I don't know how to make her stop. FML

Today, I discovered that my mom bought roll on stick glue that looks quite a bit like deodorant. It was early in the morning and I was groggy. Long story short, I had to cut every one of my pit hairs. FML

Today, in front of my friends, my mom came after me with a pair of tweezers exclaiming "there's just a couple of hairs on your chin that need to be plucked." I'm a 14 year old girl. FML

Today, I thought it would be a good idea to use my epilator on my eyebrows. Needless to say I now have the eyebrow equivalent of a comb-over. FML

Actually, alcohol will kill most bacteria, so you're wrong. But I agree that it's sick that she's using them in the first place, and going through the trouble of sterilizing them without removing the hair. There's tweezers at Walgreen's for a dollar and they work just fine on my eyebrows... if you're not a caveman, it shouldn't be a big deal to get a new one (at least she wasn't using your hairbrush on the dog and GIVING you ticks).

Most dogs have a pretty good immune system. A simple dip in alcohol is usually enough before removing ticks.

This is a stupid complaint and I'm surprised how people agree with it. Firstly, if you pull a tick off a dog, it doesn't magically hide on the tweezers; you can see it and dispose of it (burn it) immediately. Secondly, alcohol does sterilize bacteria and pathogens, although if you draw blood while pulling a tick then you're just doing it wrong anyway. Lastly, IT'S JUST ******* DOG HAIR!!! Get over it already.

You're lucky your dog isn't dead if your mum is constantly removing ticks from it, particularly when that's not the best method for removing them. Often you can leave the head behind which carries the poison. And really, 'icky dog hair'?? Are you five??
