So what is it about a sore eyebrow hair? Why can’t I just leave it alone? If I don’t touch it, and think about something else, it quits bothering me. So you think I’d make an extra effort to think about chimpanzees, or whipped cream, or Homer Simpson in a skirt, or something. But no, my internal dialogue goes something like this:
So which hair is sore again?
Is it this one? Or this one? Nope! There it is! OUCH! Yup, still hurts!
Now, is it this one? Or maybe this one?
…ad infinitum…
Yeah, that’s all I got. Pretty sad, I know. Good thing I’m not paid for this shit, eh?

With the sock problem I was right there, suffering along with you and, indeed, feeling your pain.
I whooped for joy over your groundbreaking discoveries regarding the hidden properties of Lysol (even though I was not absolutely sure what Lysol was - I have since checked and it is the equivalent of Dettol in Britain).
I agonised and passed sleepless nights pacing corridors over the trail mix random selection conundrum.
I am, however, having a bit of a problem with the eyebrow sensitivity issue.

Ditto for a sore tastebud - it’s impossible to leave alone.

James: I guess if you haven’t experienced it, it’s difficult to understand. Just trust me on this one, okay?
On another note, I apologize - I had no idea Lysol was not an international brand. That, more than anything, may explain its lack of a global cure for HIV.

DaisyJo: Yes! I feel you! Plus, the offending tastebud seems to make an extra effort to be used in every chewing motion you make.
