31 Things Every Single Woman On Earth Does, But Doesn’t Talk About

My entire life, when I washed my hair in the shower, I’d stick the hairs that came loose on the shower wall and twirl them altogether into a gnarly hair-spiral-clump at the end so it would be easier to pull off and throw away in one piece.

It wasn’t until I reached college that I met one of my best friends, and she was like “I do that too!” and then another roommate piped up and was like “hey, I do that three!”

I was stunned. How did we all, instinctively, know to finger-twirl our loose shower-hairs? What else did I do that other women did that nobody ever talked about?
