"My son-in-law's father does not seem to feel the need to trim his nose hair which is quite bushy and hangs out of his nose. Apparently, his wife has asked him to do something about this, but he chooses to ignore her, and neither of his sons want to talk to him about it even though it bothers them too. We host Thanksgiving at our house each year and, while I don't particularly care for this couple, I have always invited them to join us."
"This, like so many other aspects of people's bodies, falls into the category of personal preference. It's not endangering him or others. While nose hairs, in general, trap dirt and pollen, overly long nose hair can accumulate debris and cause problems if not properly maintained. But it sounds like that's not the concern here. If he's unmoved by his wife's requests, I daresay that your ask will probably also go unanswered."
An invited guest has long, bushy nose hair visible at family gatherings despite requests from his wife and apparent reluctance from his children to confront him. The host tolerates the couple's presence each Thanksgiving to simplify logistics and to remain with family, but finds the repeated exposure increasingly intolerable. Practical options are limited when the guest refuses grooming and family members avoid addressing it. Nonmedical concerns predominate, although overly long nose hair can trap debris. Adjusting seating to avoid seeing the hair or choosing to prioritize enjoying time with loved ones are realistic coping strategies when direct requests are unlikely to succeed.
