It was a real barrel of laughs here yesterday.

[LuckyCharms]

Standing at the bathroom sink, shirtless, cutting my hair, shaving my beard off.

I had the right half of my beard buzzed off with the clippers when I noticed that my eyebrows were going all Andy Rooney like.

Now, I usually put a 1/8 inch guard on the electric trimmer to do my eyebrows. For some reason, I thought I had the guard on the clippers, but I didn't. So I hit my right eyebrow with the clippers. Shaved the eyebrow completely off. Completely. I have prominent eyebrows and eyelashes, so I looked like a different person.

I'm standing there with half a beard and one eyebrow.

Fuck.

Wife comes upstairs. Grabs my shoulders, and says "turn towards me"

NO.

Look at me!

NO.

She's turning purple and shaking because she's trying not to laugh.

I MADE A GODDAMN MISTAKE, OK????

Then, she started HOWLING with laughter. ALL DAY. Never seen her laugh so hard.

I shaved off my other eyebrow and the rest of my beard.

She's still laughing about it. Ha ha. Real funny.

I just told her...laugh now, because you won't be laughing next time I cut YOUR hair.

[cbabe]

1. Ah. Thanks. (Hahahahaha...)

[The Roux Comes First]

2. The World Would Be a Far Better Place if Even a Few More of Us Had Anywhere Near Your

Sense of humor, self-mockery, and ease in your own skin!

Kudos, man!

[marble falls]

3. Exactly how I got a half of a buzz cut when my dad forgot to put the guard back on after trimming my ...

... brother's haircut. I had a choice between leaving it or a complete buzz. I went for the style 60 years before it became hip, I was half buzzed before my time. Sort of a negative mohawk.

Btw: your wife told me to say: ha-ha-ha. I hope I spelled that right!

[MiHale]

4. Pictures in my mind...

Are pretty funny…bet you didn’t take any

Reminds me of the time I squirted lighter fluid in the smoker cuz I stupidly thought it was out.
Blow back flames took my beard, eyebrows and made a mess of the front third of my hair…it grows back…not well but it grows back.

[LuckyCharms]

57. We must be related.

I burned my pubic hair off in a port-o-john at a Grateful Dead concert in Louisville KY in 1990.

I've probably posted about it before. The gist of it is that the port-o-john was in some type of stable, and it was pitch black inside there, so I was using a Bic lighter to try to see.

[MiHale]

63. 🤣🤪

[Attilatheblond]

64. Ouch! Hey, are you the guy who invented that battery powered headlight on an elastic headband?

[LuckyCharms]

66. I have a few of those!

I wish I had one that day!

[Lochloosa]

70. If your going to do that...that's the place to do it.

[LuckyCharms]

71. Didn't know it was happening until it was too late.

Just smelled burning hair and heard SSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTT.

Walked back to my seat.

Future wife said "What took you so long"?

I just looked at her and said "I burned all my pubic hair off".

It was a good concert though!

[Lochloosa]

72. Just ahead of the times...

[2naSalit]

5. LOL!!

I can just picture the whole thing!

[Sogo]

6. When I was a young child, maybe 4, I cut off my eyebrows because I thought they were ugly and useless.

I was happy with the results and went out to the kitchen where my mother was to show her the accomplishment. She looked very surprised and said, "Child, what have you done??!!"

[debm55]

7. Great post . Lucky

32. Or just cut some hair from the cat's tail. The cat won't mind, I'm sure.

[LuckyCharms]

48. The one in your first picture would work!

[LudwigPastorius]

9. Don't worry! I'm sure you look fine.

[LuckyCharms]

16. I wish I looked that good.

Gotta admit...I'm cracking up when I look in the mirror.

[Zackzzzz]

10. Let's us hope it all grows back.

I cut my bangs too, too short, and I said to myself,
"There's no fixing this", and wore a scarf when I left the house.

Thanks, I laughed, and laughed, and laughed with you.

[Marthe48]

11. Uncle Leo?

PS:

[LuckyCharms]

17. LMAO

[PatSeg]

12. Ha, ha! That was my first laugh in a while!

[LoisB]

13. I feel for you but it is funny.

[LuckyCharms]

36. It's all good, Lois.

At my age, my appearance is the least of my worries!

[LoisB]

56. We are on the same page there.

[niyad]

14. I am pretty sure your very smart wife is NOT going to let you cut her hair

any time soon.

[LuckyCharms]

15. I've cut it for her since the pandemic, but she recently...

started going to a stylist again.

But with the way the flu has been around here lately, she wants me to cut it again for her.

It always comes out nice when I cut hers.

I know that if I screw it up...things would...um...bad.

I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid!!!

[niyad]

18. You are most definitely NOT stupid. How lovely to have one's personal

stylist right on premises!

[yellow dahlia]

51. I've been cutting both of our hair since the pandemic.

Mr. Dahlia has gone back to a pony tail - much easier.

[LuckyCharms]

52. There's some satisfaction in that, isn't there?

[yellow dahlia]

53. Yes

Of all the adjustments after Covid - the easiest one.

[dameatball]

19. Just keep everyone on your portside.

[Marthe48]

20. My husband was cleaning up in the back yard

years ago. We had a burn barrel. I had the windows open and was cleaning. I heard a muffled whump. Not a normal sound. I went outside to check and met my husband coming from around the side of the house. His hair was singed, his eyebrows were gone and he had a look of indignation that's hard to describe. Because of the new look, as I was trying to not burst into laughter, I asked if he was okay and treated him in case he was burned (he wasn't)

Later he told me that he had decided to burn some things, and to get the fire in the burn barrel going, he put some gas on it. It didn't take, so, because he was a guy, he tossed a match in and whump!

After I knew he was okay, I laughed myself silly.

[LuckyCharms]

22. You women have to keep a close eye on us, Marthe.

We're like children...

Good story, Marthe.

[Attilatheblond]

65. My B-I-L is a would-be pyromaniac. Fire works, BBQ run amok kinda guy

He had one of those cast iron Hibachis and my sister let him be the outdoor grill master (other than that, she was smart and generally made good decisions).

One time, he was getting impatient at how long it was taking the coals to get hot. Reached for his standby emergency gasoline can and poured some on the barely glowing coals. He was standing nearly straddling the Hibachi at the time.

Oh, and he is very short.

Nearly a fire induced castration, but none of us could stop laughing as my sister hauled his ass to the bathroom to asses damage. Leg hair gone, but the rest just slightly, um... overly warm.

[Marthe48]

68. Glad he didn't contribute beans and weenies for dinner

>snicker, snort<

[Attilatheblond]

69. As I recall, my brother volunteered to go grab some take-out.

He's always been the calm, composed problem solver of the family; also a former paramedic. Always good to have one of those around when my B-I-L thinks he's an all-around handy man.

[Marthe48]

21. Look on the bright side

[LuckyCharms]

23. .

[JohnnyRingo]

24. Should have taken her straight to a nice restaurant. Half a beard and all.

"Not so funny now, is it woman?"

[MustLoveBeagles]

25. Lol

At least you match now.

[Old Crank]

26. I haven't done it that bad, but

I did have the guard set way too low one time and ended up with a partial goatee.
Not my best look for a few days until I could continue evening it out.

[WestMichRad]

27. You coulda stopped there and been a trend setter!

But it’s been done before;

[JoseBalow]

28. Did you draw them back on?

[LuckyCharms]

35. LOL...I might have to!

I have a big 5/8 inch black Sharpie in my tool chest that would work nicely!

[Niagara]

29. Will Forte in The Last Man on Earth

[LuckyCharms]

33. Noooo!!!

Seriously...what if they don't grow back, Niagara????

I'm ruined!

I hope you had a nice day today.

[Niagara]

37. They'll grow back, Lucky

You shaved them, you didn't get electrolysis on them or have them lasered.


It'll probably take about 3-4 weeks to get them all back, 2 weeks with uneven patches for sure.


You're not ruined, you'll be fine!


If it makes you feel any better, I trimmed my left (your right facing me) eyebrow awhile ago and trimmed too much of it off at the arch. Luckily I'm good at filling in eyebrows with makeup and no one has said a word to me about my over trimming. HA!


It was decent day today. I hope that you had a nice day as well.

[LuckyCharms]

38. Will you...

fill mine in with makeup?

I mean...you have experience with this type of thing! I don't!

[Niagara]

39. If that's what you want

I can totally fill them in for you with makeup.


No one will ever know about your oopsie except on DU.

[LuckyCharms]

40. Now...

What about lipstick?

Can you put lipstick on me?

Can you make me feel pretty again?

Oh...also, is there something you can do to make my nose appear a little smaller?

I know I'm asking a lot of you, Niagara.

[Niagara]

41. I'm not a big fan of lipstick

But I can apply it on you if you wish.


I can place a tad darker foundation on the sides of your nose to make it look slimmer!

[LuckyCharms]

42. Well get busy then! I'm waiting!

You know I'm joking!

But, when I was younger, I did get into some makeup once, and was messing around with it to see what I would look like. I'm sure I didn't apply it correctly though...

[Niagara]

45. Okay but you have to help

me with my clothing hoard.


Only, I'm not joking.


None of us put makeup on correctly when we were younger! lol

[LuckyCharms]

46. I would help you with...

anything you needed help with.

Even your clothing hoard.

[Niagara]

54. Thank you, Lucky

It's a complicated situation.


Speaking of, I have to find a missing shirt. The last time this shirt went missing was because it fell off a hanger. I need to attempt to find it tonight again.


Wish me luck! lol

[LuckyCharms]

55. You'll find it!

Good luck!

[Niagara]

74. You were right, Lucky

I found the missing shirt!

[LuckyCharms]

75. I had no doubt that you would!

[Niagara]

76. It wasn't in the closet at all this round

[LuckyCharms]

77. And where was it, Niagara?

Were you wearing it? Like when you think lose your glasses, but their actually sitting on your head?

[BurnDoubt]

30. Thanks for this!!!

Serendipity jumps in and hilarity ensues.
Thanks for sharing this. I got a good chuckle.
My wife shakes her head at my bushy eyebrows yet I’m unmoved. I’ve entertained the notion of trimming them, but fear doing as you did.
And… I don’t consort with tonsorialists……. Old Hippy-Type.
Good to hear from you. I hope you’re feeling better.

[LuckyCharms]

34. I am feeling slightly better, BurnDoubt, thanks!

I either pluck my brows or buzz them with the guard on.

Or, if I go to a barber, he does them nice for $5 extra. He makes a nice tip on the outer edges that I can't replicate at home.

My tonsorialist has served hard prison time, and is a legitimate regional stand-up comedian with a faithful following for his act.

I went for 5 years without a barber because of the pandemic. Cut my own hair. Started going to this guy just recently. The stories he tells me get me choking laughing.

My wife has gone with me to my barber a few times, and he was legitimately flirting with her heavy...right in front of me! The guy has no filter!

Good to hear from you also.

[Aussie105]

31. Did the same.

Left the guard off the trimmer by mistake.
Self-inflicted haircut, done ever since Covid years.

Ended up with an unintentional buzz cut, all over.

Good to go for another year.
Some of it will grow back, eventually.
Going commando on the head is more popular these days anyway.

Haven't done the eyebrow accident yet but give me time.

[some_of_us_are_sane]

43. That made me snort out!

ROFL!!

[LuckyCharms]

44. Good, good!

[some_of_us_are_sane]

47. Cleared my sinuses!

Yeah!!

[yellow dahlia]

49. Thank you for the much needed comic relief.

Tears running down my face.

[LuckyCharms]

50. So glad!

[yonder]

58. "Howling with laughter" here as well.

Not AT you, mind you, but WITH you.

"Someday, you'll be able to laugh at this" said everyone's Mom or Dad at least once.

Any photos?

[LuckyCharms]

59. Noooo! No photos!

[yonder]

60. That's okay, got it right here:

[3catwoman3]

67. This thread has me ROTFLMAO even without any visuals.

A good way to start the day.

[PJMcK]

73. Imagine if...

…Luigi Mangione had done that to his eyebrows.

[LuckyCharms]

78. Yep. They might not have found him so soon.
