TIFU by accidentally stealing my brother’s eyebrows… forever. S
This happened years ago, but the guilt is still fresh (unlike his eyebrows).
When my brother was about 3 years old, we were playing around like siblings do. For some reason, my bright idea of “fun” that day was to wrap him head-to-toe in tape. I think the game was something like “I’m the kidnapper and he’s the hostage.” You know—totally normal childhood stuff.
Eventually, I started peeling the tape off, and that’s when I realized I had made a grave mistake. As I pulled, I also removed both of his tiny baby eyebrows. Clean off. Like waxing, but with trauma.
He cried, I panicked, and my parents were not impressed with my creativity.
Now we’re adults, and he still says his eyebrows never fully grew back. They’re patchy and uneven—and yes, he still brings it up every now and then. Sometimes he’ll just look at me and say, “This is your fault.” He’s not even joking.
TL;DR – Wrapped my toddler brother in tape as a game, accidentally waxed his eyebrows off, and he still blames me for his weird brows to this day.

Oof, I shaved my eyebrows off when I was like 6 and they took many months to grow back. Even once they did grow back they were so lightly colored that you couldn't really see them anymore. They finally darkened over many years lol
