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).

that's gross

I feel sorry for you, snickerdoodles. now I understand why your such a bitch on FML... your parents forced you to study and never let you have any fun. :/

It happened on House! hahaha Hey OP! assuming you're old enough to pluck something...go buy your own! Quite depending upon your Parents and then bitching about it. You're mother bought them, she can do whatever she chooses. You'll do the same. It's a sad damn fact of life.

I'm usually annoyed by the comments snickerdoodles makes. On this FML, however, I don't see anything rude about her posts. You guys need to stop being internet tough guys and leave her alone :P Also, I was reading books at the age of 6 as well that were NOT Barney or Dora. Whoop dee doo.

if u dont like dog hair dont get a ******* dog

Obviously none of you know anything about plucking hairs. If you use your tweezers for anything else you'll ruin them and they'll never be as good for plucking hair. If they are "her" tweezers her mother should use different ones to keep from ruining them. If they're her mother's tweezers, she should go get her own for her eyebrows and probably write the word eyebrows on them.

This is apparently the thanks you get for being helpful and intelligent. FYL, snick. Also, why is it so hard to imagine a six year old reading proficiently. I was reading to myself at that age too whilst my classmates were still struggling to do so—reading aloud in unison, which, for the record, I found highly distracting. You only think this way because our culture becomes ever more saturated by media in turn causing each passing generation to turn a blind eye to the book.

there's a whole lot of things i feel need to be said here... but i'm just going to say this: you don't need your tools to be sterile when plucking hairs. your skin has plenty of bacteria and shit all over it already.

@snickerdoodles. go save the ******* world from the yokopatamians Jimmy Neutron

1. Alcohol does sterilize it. Why do you think it's used in hospitals. 2. You don't remove ticks with a lighted match or any liquids. It only makes the tick puke whatever under your skin.

@snickerdoodles I was originally enjoying your ability to dispense knowledge and snark simultaneously, but as this conversation has progressed, I've become disenchanted. I too began reading early and voraciously, and I too found informational books (almanacs, atlases, encyclopedia volumes, trivia books, home remedy books, what have you) interesting at a young age. I agree with your implication that the burgeoning interests of a child are sometimes underestimated. But it seems that your love of information has lead to a superiority complex, not a desire to share this information with others. I think this is clear from your assertion that you favor information from a book published at least ten years ago over a much more vast and constantly-updated resource such the Internet. (Seriously, why hate on Google?) I do doubt that you were reading comprehensively at 18 months, but even if you were, it does not make you better than anyone else and does not make you a more reliable resource (neither does an aversion to Barney or Disney, FYI). I think it is your addition of these details--not helpful advice or opinion--that makes you unlikeable in the FML universe.
