I HATE Hair Bands

Hold your inflammatory comments, I am not talking about these: 

I am talking about these: 

Apparently, my lovely wife has special hair that requires one of these bands to be removed and casually tossed somewhere in the house every hour.  Is she warding off demons?  Adding decorative flair?  I had no idea that they are single-use only.  Perhaps they are like oil, they have to be changed every 200 steps or something?  All I know is that they mess up the vacuum, and every time I tidy up, I throw away another 4-5 of them.    

I feel your pain, brother. Girlfriend uses those damn things, too, and I find them all over the place. 

I think they're the hair equivalent of Sharpie's in the garage.  No matter how many you have, or how recently you had one on your person, all that have been removed from their mass storage space have the ability to magically disappear every time you need one and transport/teleport themselves to the most inconvenient and unexpected locations possible.

My wife always complains about not having any...until I do laundry or clean her car.

I pull at least a half dozen from the lint screen of the dryer regularly and she keeps at LEAST 20 of them in the door handle of her SUV.

And yes, I've pulled plenty of them from the internal workings of our vacuum.

I recently started using those.  I do not consider them single use, but they tend to disapear regularly.

Right out of college, I subleased an apartment from a couple who had bought a house and needed to get out of their lease. Due to the timing of it all, they didn't get a chance to clean up the apartment (I had to move in, they had to move out, etc.). They were really extremely clean, but her hair and hairbands were everywhere. As I was moving out of the apartment, one got caught in my vacuum, threw the vacuum belt off, and ended up making the vacuum catch on fire. Fun stuff. 

I've been using them for years with my beard. As soon as you open a pack, they scatter like cockroaches when the lights come on.

Yeah, my dwelling is nearing waist deep levels of hair bands and bobby pins.  The female denizens just shed them constantly.

The missus doesn't have any hair bands around but I find these buggers EVERYWHERE!!!

Oh yeah. berkeley hair metal too. That garbage is why I didn't think I actually liked music in the early and mid 80's 

I keep several in each vehicle and usually a few in the living room. You never know when one will break but they do sure disappear a lot also. 

Our cat likes to play with those.  Fortunately, the cat's favorite game is to chase them under something where they won't be seen again until we move or remodel the house.  My wife must go through a case of them every year.

There's three girls at my house with long hair.  Those and little hair bows are everywhere.

Damn....I thought those were cock rings

I finally stopped keeping my hair long when I realized I was really bad at using these and kept having to put my hair back up when I was in the shop.

She's getting her hair out of the way in preparation of giving a mouth hug.  Makes any day better.

For me, it's better in reverse.... then again I have a bit ofa hair fetish. Hate seeing great hair pent up like that. 

It's even worse when there are 5 of the female types around the house!

There are no less than 7000 of those in my house. There are 3 long hairs in my house. I am one of them.

Clearly this is the real problem.

Wife has long hair and I've never even seen one of those.

I have a problem with hair bands and barrettes, my 3 year old seems to leave them everywhere and the cutesy barrettes ones are as bad as stepping on a Lego in the middle of the night.

My wife's hair is so thick that she breaks the hair bands all the time so generally I don't find them everywhere.

My wife was terrible about losing those until my sister gave her a bracelet designed to hold one without it being tight on her wrist. That little bit of whatever is worth any amount of $ for the sanity it brings.

Same problem in our house. I never see the things and SWMBO can never find one when she needs it because the damn cats lose them under things.
