Today, I went with my sister to get our eyebrows waxed. I didn't think my eyebrows were that bad--and they weren't! When the guy waxed my eyebrows, he gestured my lips and said, "Moustache, too?" Mortified, I said, "No!" to which he replied, "Aw, someone no get kissy tonight." FML

Today, I went to have my eyebrows waxed for the first time. After signing in the receptionist looked at me and said "Lip wax?". I told her no, my eyebrows. She sat me down and the waxer walked up, took one look at me and said "Lip wax?" FML

Today, I went to get a haircut. The hairdresser at the counter was kind of cute, so I had to say something non-standard. When she greeted me with her hello, I replied, "Guess what I need from you today?" She looked at me, considered, and replied, "An eyebrow wax?" FML

Today, I went to the hair salon to cut 6 in. off my hair. When I got there I decided to get my upper lip waxed for the first time. When my boyfriend came to pick me up for our date I asked if he noticed anything different about me, the first thing he said was "I see you got rid of you mustache." FML

Today, I went to get my eyebrows waxed at a korean salon. I have never been there before and it's hard to understand their accents. The women asked me if I wanted "them all off". Not fully understanding what she said, I agreed. When she showed me the mirror, she had taken off my whole eyebrow. FML

Today, I had my eyebrows waxed for my senior pictures. After manhandling me, the cosmetologist managed to "accidentally" take my whole eyebrow off. It looks like I'll be remembered forevermore as the girl with one eyebrow. FML

Today, my sister gave me a makeover. I protested, but she insisted it'd look great. After an eternity of eyebrow plucking, she handed me the mirror. I now have extremely badly-drawn sharpie eyebrows. FML

Today, I got my sister to pluck my eyebrows. She shaped them wrong, so now I look constantly sad. FML

Why would you be mortified? I mean even if they were money grubbing, women do grow lip hair and removing it is no big deal.

Get your mustache removed, woman.

LOL@7 and I agree, don't deny the truth! You should've just said ok. But still, that's hilarious.

I hate it when they ask. Cause it's only going to grow back darker and darker after every damned treatment. If we didn't ask, they should mind their own god damned business. (Same goes for dentists that are a firm believer in unnatural whitening) Mine is ONLY visible in that bright florescent lighting.

"I hate it when they ask. Cause it's only going to grow back darker and darker after every damned treatment." Uh, no. That's entirely untrue. Considering that waxing removes the hair from the root and sometimes even the bulb, it grows back finer and more sparse each time, thinning it out gradually. Nothing like that will darken your hair; otherwise, people wouldn't do it.

Wow, that was dumb, woman. If he told you to, he's obviously seeing there's a mustache there. That means other people will too. So it means you get mortified because they told you something you don't want to admit and prefer to keep looking like a disgusting hairy girl than actually fixing it? I've never understood those attitudes. Like people that get offended when someone implies they're overweight. What, are they in denial?

Why 'mortified'? A lot of women grow upper lip hair, it's nothing to be ashamed of - unless, of course, you don't take care of it and leave it as it is. Gross!
