Tweezers, your only job is to tweeze. Do it!

[jane_pippin]

Somehow my good tweezers got lost. (Fascinatin' I know). I bought a new pair today and they don't do anything. Damn slanty tweezers! Why do you even exist? (They were moving things at the store and hadn't put out the pointy kind yet. Curses. Lots of them.)

Anyway, thanks, functionless tweezers. I love going to work looking like a Yeti.

What about you? Any products with one function in your household that fail to perform said function?

1. I hate slanty tweezers.

I like my pointy tweezers!

[jane_pippin]

6. I don't know why I bought them. I knew they wouldn't work.

I found a slanty/pointy combo kind that I thought might do it, but no. They don't do anything. Don't be duped!

2. I am just the opposite, I love slanty tweezers

I can't seem to work the pointy tweezers to save my life.

4. Me too

The pointy ones don't seem to work for me either.

11. I think a flamewar about tweezer utility is exactly the thing we need

right now! :7

21. But our forces are still depleted

from the great "Toilet paper: crush or fold?" wars of '03. :cry:

[jane_pippin]

12. How do you get them to work? It shouldn't be that difficult

and yet...I can't do it. It makes no sense.

[KitchenWitch]

15. make sure the flat part is flush with the skin and pull.

[jane_pippin]

18. Ok. My new pet caterpillars and I need to get to work but I'll try it

again when I get home. I don't want to have to spend money on tweezers two days in a row just because I'm inept at basic girly things. Thanks, KW.

Great stuff but expensive.

7. This is kind of funny...

A friend of mine on another website was JUST singing the praises of Tweezerman this morning. I'd never heard of Tweezerman before (is it put out by the same people who make the Leatherman?), and now I've seen it endorsed twice in one day.

13. LOL!

Okay, okay. It's not that remarkable.

[Medium Baby Jesus]

16. No different company

but they make precision instruments that will pull stubble off a gnat. After using one, you will never buy that stamped supermarket crap again. They also have a page on social responsibility which is a bonus. Finally, I don't work for them.

8. I *had* a good pair. I think they got knocked in the trash accidentally.

La Crosse. Pointy. They rule. And they were cheap enough.

Thanks for the link though. I've heard of them before but haven't actually checked them out. (Though with my luck I'll buy them and some jackass will walk off with them.) :D

23. Yikes! "Body Waxing Tweezer" !!

Sounds painful!

[Call Me Wesley]

9. Hot wax?

;)

[LynneSin]

17. Thank god for blonde eyelashes

I have never tweezed although in the summertime I might wax them even if you can't see them

[Left Is Write]

20. I hope you mean eyebrows.

I'd hate to think of you tweezing or waxing your eyelashes!

[Deja Q]

24. Keep an ear on them. If they start saying "Pluck you", you're in trouble.

:hide:

25. Needle nose pliers

Don't work if the ends don't touch.
