Just scared the hell out of my wife

I've had a full beard for about 8 years or so. Due to some recent surgery, I'm stuck in a cervical collar for a few weeks. Tonight, the collar was itching me too much, so while we were watching tv, I got up, went to the bathroom, and shaved off all the facial hair. Didn't warn her. When I came out, she screamed like she'd seen Satan himself. Apparently, the only thing uglier than me with a beard, is me without a beard. She still can't look at me. If I'd have known it would be this much fun, I'd have done it years ago.[Muaha]

The first time I shaved when my daughter was old enough to realize what was going on, she wouldn't let me hug her. I shaved my beard the other day and neither my wife or daughter appreciated the cleaned up look. Everyone always freaks out when you shave, even if you look better, just because they get used to you.

Shaved my beard and mustache and my kids looked at me like a stranger. My wife took one look at me and said "No". I grew it back.

Yep. Apparently I'll be growing it back as well.

Started growing a beard in Nov. First time in 30yrs. Three months in and the womens love it. Really. Had more compliments about facial hair than I can count. The guys are "have you lost your razor". Not my thing and will be shaving in the near future but it is a bit of an ego boost.

I have been with my wife for 38 years and she has only seen me without a beard in some old high school photos. She like my beard and says I am never to shave it off. I can shave my head, just not the beard.

The ape look is where it's at!

I used to shave mine before I left for an extended work assignment. My little boy didn't know the word for shaving. He'd look at me funny, and then tell me "Daddy, you took the beard off your face."

I had a beard and or stache from 2012 to last summer, my current job requires I be baby faced, or an in regs mustache only.
To this day my 3 year old Son will randomly ask "where you beard go Dad?" I hate shaving everyday and I kinda look like an 80's TV extra with just a mustache.

Velocitas, Opprimere,
Violentia Operandi

Eyebrows... Go for the Bob Geldof look. You know you want to.

A couple of years ago I shaved mine, unfortunately I took my entire chin with it (thus remembering instantly the reason I grew a beard and regretting the shaving before my face was dry). Won't let that happen again.

Ironic to use a meme of a (mostly) hairless creature to express disdain for shaving. Not sure if that was intentional, but I like it.

I shaved my beard off once and my wife just looked at me and said "Noooooooooo". Lol.

I didn't want to use a bear because of the counter-cultural connotations; Gollum is the every-man for Tolkien, the fallen human being who refuses redemption, and is what we all tend towards naturally. In this abstract sense, the social construct of shaving and hatred thereof fits well within the memetic usage.

Same here. She doesn't want the baby faced version of me.

My wife does not like me without my beard.

For the first 2 years of my daughter's life, she was afraid of me if I took my glasses off. Even if she saw me take them off and put them on.

I shaved off all my facial hair about a month ago. One of my co-workers told me never to do that again. I had to laugh.

My youngest son gets all wierded out when I shave it off too.

Can't believe no one called shenanigans on my sophistry.

However, under the hair we are all hairless.

I did the no-shave November thing this winter, just kind of carried it through the new year. I'll probably shove it off in the next couple of weeks, as my wife has taken to calling me Santa Claus...[hahhah-no]

Should whisper to her "I see you when you're sleeping..."

I was going to edit your post with "I just thought it was funny." and add FIFY.
