I figured it was getting too thought-provoking around here so in honor of my best friend’s birthday this past Wednesday, I’m going to tell you a funny story: when Erin was in college, she had awesome roommate who was just a smidge OCD and one of the things she most hated was loose hairs. Specifically, she hated how Erin would, in the shower, just sort of stick loose hairs – you know how you get hairs on your fingers after shampooing your hair – to the tiled walls of the shower.
After the roommate revealed this distaste, Erin (and now we’re geting to the part where you understand how incredibly deeply and reverently I love this woman) took to spelling words like HELLO with her loose hairs on the tiled shower walls.
Every single time I’m in the shower, I think of this story and laugh out loud. I hope you do, too.

I am going to spell ‘HOT!’ with my post-pregnancy shedding nightmare-hair on the shower wall this morning, in honour of Erin. Robby will totally love it. Art nouveau!
Ah! I do it too. The hair-on-the-tile-thing, not the “Hello”, though I might try it now. It is the bane of everyone’s existance and they can’t understand why I do it. It’s not as though I am searching out hair to find so that I have a unique art noveau bathroom. The hair gets tangled around your fingers and must be delt with!
I totally just noticed that the previous post used “Art noveau”. I swear that this unintentional plagarism must be contagious.
That is so gross, but I can’t stop laughing about it.
ahahahahaaaa
this is my first time here and i am laughing out loud. so i am coming back.
hahahaha and ewwwwwww lol
wow, this is a good one for the ‘small world’ element of my life.
i followed a link on gothamist to here, read, commented, then read the about, thought that was kinda cool, then read the 100 questions and realized we TOTALLY KNOW EACH OTHER! haha it’s been a while though, shakespeare in a hot hot hot brooklyn park with mutual friends.
hope stuart is well and still british. hope to see you guys soon sometime
Thanks for the call and the card – sadly I’ve been having exams and didn’t even get around to checking my mail until this morning. And thanks for the blog shout out – I still don’t understand why people are grossed out by hair. I mean, better on the shower wall than clogging up the drain, yes?
I am totally okay with my own loose hairs (which are EVERYWHERE), but I can’t deal with the hair of other people. It’s just so…short and…dark and…ick.
FUNNY!!!
GREAT GAL THERE!
yet still i HATE loose hairs! my pet peeve!
nothing grosses me out like hair in the shower
or on my brushes…but if someone did that i
would LOVE it its funny and cute yet a bit gross…
I swear I spend half my shower time picking loose hairs off my hands and other body parts. And I too put them on the shower wall, at least until I’m done in the shower, then I usually clean them off.
I’ve never thought of spelling things out though. I may have to try that next time…maybe leave a little message for my boyfriend. “We need milk” or “Take the trash out”
It’s a whole new form of communication!
