    Default Strangest Question I've Ever Asked on FV

    Okay...seriously, this is an odd question, but it's plagued me for years and I simply MUST know.

    For those of you who pluck your eyebrows...

    Does it make you sneeze?

    When I pluck my eyebrows, it always makes me sneeze, multiple times. I don't think it is necessarily eyebrow related, however, because if I pull a band-aid off of a part of my body with hair, it also makes me sneeze. Something about pulling hair from my body makes me sneeze.

    I burned my arm baking cookies the other day. Burned it quite badly, actually, and have had it covered with Neosporin and band-aids. Well, I just pulled off the band-aid and Aaaaachoooo! Doesn't always happen with the band-aids, but most of the time. However, it ALWAYS happens when I pluck my eyebrows.

    So...(and I hesitate to answer the question, and I ask that no one go with the obvious funny answer)...am I a total freak?

    It does not make me sneeze, but when I used to pluck the ex's he would sneeze, every other hair. And my mom says she sneezes too.

    In one word, yes. And at the very least my eyes start to water and I want to sneeze.

    Exactly. I usually sneeze, and if I don't I just get the watery eyes.

    Me three on the watery eyes & sneezing. Not everytime, but quite often. And for some reason it is the left side that is the worst. I rarely get watery eyes/sneezing on the right brow.

    I wax... I gave up plucking... I was afraid I was going to stab myself in the eye or something because I was near blinded once my eyes watered up. Never sneezed though, unless I inhaled something.

    I do. One or two hairs just kind of gets me on edge, but more than that and I just HAVE to sneeze!

    yup, I also sneeze if one single hair gets pulled too tight when I put my hair in a pony tail.

    I don't sneeze when removing a band aid, though.
