I'm not as religious about it as some. I wax my eyebrows myself, and if they come close to matching, it's a freaking miracle and something to show off. "Look! My eyes match!" Yeah, it's not much, but it's mine and I like it.
I use this nifty tea-tree oil wax that doesn't require the cotton strips. It hardens and becomes the thing you rip all at the same time. Works pretty well. I've fucked up a few times and had weird bits from time to time, but hey, it grows back.
Legs... I went for 3 months without shaving my legs last year. (I'd torn a huge chunk out of my knee... and it STILL GREW HAIR. But I couldn't shave over the giant wound *owww*, so I said fuck it, and left everything.) Itchiest thing I've ever done. My mother bought me a razor for christmas. Think she was trying to tell me something? I gave in. (The knee had almost healed by then.)
I used to hate the fact that I have somewhat dark hair on the back of my hands. Looks a little monkey-ish when I'm in a particularly anti-hair mood. Or the hair on my second knuckle. I tried shaving my hands once. That was a mistake.
Now that I'm getting older, I get weird black hairs growing on my chin from time to time. It's ridiculously annoying. I've gotten pretty religious about doing a quick search in the morning (made more difficult by the fact that I'm quite freckly as well -- but I figure this helps disguise them when I miss 'em, too) and plucking away.
I hate having to pluck my chin. I'm 26! I should NOT HAVE EXCESS HAIR ON MY CHIN! Bah.
