What are your preferred places to pull from?

Okay...I know I'm not the only one who does this, but I still find it's very rare for people to pull from EVERY site. What are your most preferred areas to pull from, and do you/have you pull(ed) from anywhere that's...surprised you, or that you don't normally pull from?
I pull from EVERYWHERE...literally. In order of frequency, they go:
-pubic
-eyelashes
-eyebrows
-cowlicks (scalp)
-back of neck/behind ears
-underarm
-nasal
-leg
-arm
I also pull my boyfriend's gray hairs (he's only twenty but there are a few here and there), hairs in his beard that seem "out of place" to me, and my dog's whiskers. I HATE this more than anything!! I feel like I'm abusing him, because I know it must hurt him...but it just happens. It's only occasionally, but still. If I can't even control pulling from my dog, who's like my little baby right now...what will I do when I have kids? Someone PLEASE tell me they have occasional "site changes" too, and for those with kids...do you pull from them, or is the maternal instinct strong enough to control urges?
I know it's normal for sites to change over time, but I feel like the older I get, the sites don't change...they just accumulate.

I've also pulled from
I've also pulled from multiple sites:
-eyelashes
-eyebrows
-scalp
-pubic
I've been pulling out my eyelashes and eyebrows since I was about 5 or 6, and just recently started on my scalp.
I am a male and I pull
I am a male and I pull from-
-Scalp
-armpits
-hands
-feet
My hand and feet have almost no hair and are my preference. My scalp has a couple bald spots so I stopped puuling from my scalp, although I occasionally pull from there. I do my armpits not very often but I do never the less and sometimes my arm hairs. I dont like pulling from my legs or arms. I also use my teeth to pull the hairs off my fingers. My scalp is in the proccess of recovery to regrow a bald spot and it is doing ok so far. I think I have another 6 months or so to really see a difference.
I just pull my hair. No where
I just pull my hair. No where else! I used to pull my eyebrows, but I stopped there. I stopped puling my hair for 3 weeks now, I just hope that I can stop for good. I'll stop pulling for a couple months and then randomly start again. The only thing I wish I could stop is eating my hair...
the hairline mostly, since
the hairline mostly, since the back of my scalp doesn't have anymore good hairs.
and now I like to pull from my eyebrows, i just now noticed a new bald spot.
I pull from multiple sites
I pull from multiple sites too:
- scalp
- pubic
- underarms
- eyelashes
I started with scalp only, and the sites have accumulated over the years. I have also not stopped pulling from any of the sites. I'm currently on a routine, and I've been pull-free for about three days (from all sites). The eyelashes have been the most difficult site to keep away from.
I hope you overcome yours too.
