I have a couple of hairs on each earlobe that randomly go rogue and grow to like 2 inches long. IDK where they got the idea that they should do that, it accomplishes nothing and makes them look foolish.
I have a hair around the bottom of my ribcage, all by itself, that used to grow really long if I didn't notice. First time I found it I thought it was a thread from my shirt until I realized tugging it hurt. I think it was 4-5 inches (~10-12 cm).
Then there was the ingrown hair on my jawline that started looking like I had a botfly. That one was a few inches coiled up inside the cyst by the time I decided to cut it open and drain it. So...yay for at home minor surgery because I can't afford to see a doctor! Go USA!
I used to have one right in the middle of my bald spot. I couldn't see it even with a clever arrangement of mirrors, but I could feel it. I think it must have been fair because it didn't stand out even amongst the apparent lack of hair*, but the root would sometimes feel like it was digging through my scalp.
Some days I'd spend longer than I'd like to mention trying to grab it blind with tweezers. On and off for years. Often got other fine hairs, but not that one.
One day I finally got it. It didn't look remarkable at all, at least not that I remember, but the feeling when it came out was something special.
Never been bothered by it since, so either I killed the root or set it right.
* If you get real close, it's actually kind of fuzzy, but for most intents and purposes there's nothing there.
I did that to my husband in our 20s and 30s. Now in our 40s I can no longer tell which one it was that was rogue because there are too many competitors… we gave up.
Got a mole on my chin just outside what would be an appropriate goatee size that grows hair faster and denser than anywhere else on my very not hairy face. Some weeks I trim down just that mole because the rest of the peach fuzz is barely visible even after several weeks of growth
Get computer duster spray, mask off the area around the mole with duct tape, invert the can and spray the propellant which will freeze it and substantially reduce its size.
edit: clear the area of hair and oil, use a hole-puncher to make the duct tape mask. I've done this for warts, facial blemishes, those raised lip things... etc. Clean the area, use basic sanitation practices. Don't pick-at or hassle the layer that scabs over and replenishes. Don't go hog-wild with the freezing - try a smaller amount first and give it a week to see how it responds. That propellant is no toy
Warning, doing this will cause a small burn, it will scab over and fall off in a few days. I have done it with a skin tag remover from the chemist, it works.
I have a dark hair that grows out of the side of my nose. It's thicker and stiffer than anything else around, and it's painful to pull out every time it shows up.
One bastard nose hair. It grows long and it grows fast. Like sometimes it curls round inside the nostril and I don’t notice it for a week or two, then all of a sudden it pops out of my left nostril and it’s an inch long.
I try to get ahead of it some times but plucking a nose hair makes my eyes water like Niagara.
My right eyebrow has decided that there must be one hair that points directly forward and leans down into my vision. I've only plucked the offender a couple of times because I don't want to end up pulling out too many in that area but each time it has grown back like it wants to be shark teeth.
No random hairs that I notice, since I have quite a few without being a hairy beast. They all have friends.
I have long lashes and once in a while I'll see something on the edge of my vision that I can never actually see. It's always an eyelash that webt rogue and grew in sideways.
Another aspect of my long lashes is whenever my eyes water (I'm not crying you're crying) it smears on my glasses.
I used to have one on my neck and every couple of weeks I'd go looking to pluck it. One day though it was gone. I kept reaching for it, but never found it.
Just as I was about to lose hope, lo and behold, it was right above my eyebrow. Now, is it the same hair? Who can tell. I have a feeling it got tired of being plucked out so it decided to migrate. That didn't work so well for it though.
I got this one hair on my left arm that is hella thick and wiry and I pull it out about once a week and it's always way longer than what actually sticks through the skin. Like it'll be barely enough to grab with tweezers and then I pull it and it ends up being 1-2 inches long by the time I pull the root out.
I've got a sliver one that grows on the bridge of my nose, right between my eyes. But I leave it, tell people that "I'm a unicorn, I'm fucking magical!".
My wife has one on her neck she hates with a passion.

Well, at least you've put them in their place.
They are deviants and will be treated as such.
I too have an earlobe hair.
Right smack dab in the middle of my forehead. My wife calls it my unicorn horn.
I wanna see!
I wanna see!

Mine is in my neck, that bad boy has been trying to grow longer since 2005.
Side of my right arm. Been there always. Always long and thick but satisfying to pull out!

Yes. Am a beardless woman. Except for that one recurring gnarly chin whisker that keeps sprouting up every few weeks. I pluck it.
I feel like it's an equation. The older you get, the more you look, the more you find! Now how long has that been there?! *pluck*
"Look, could we concentrate on healing other areas and stop with the random hairs?"
Body: "No."
Aging is a botch! Once we will get great control over our anatomy. Not yet there.
I have a rogue eyebrow hair that my wife loves to yank for me when it gets an inch long.
I did that to my husband in our 20s and 30s. Now in our 40s I can no longer tell which one it was that was rogue because there are too many competitors… we gave up.
I've noticed my grey ones grow faster.
I once had a hair on my thigh grow to at least 5 inches. Then one day it was gone. I miss it dearly.

Nipples. Used to be none,
then one,
then three.
Then three in one follicle (two fine one thick).
I don't count them anymore, just yank em quick.

Got one in my ear that's like a needle, thanks for the reminder

I have a single grey hair in my eyebrow that is thicker, and more wiry than the others. It also suddenly sprouts to an inch long and sticks out.
Once or twice a year, I'll get an eyelash that's grey and weirdly long. Plucking it is so satisfying though.

Yeah I had one beard. One hair only, like an eyelash it was, not like my head hair. Seems to have finally given up though.
One beard = one hair 🤣

Got a one random hair on my adams apple, a few inches below my natural beard line
