Toothbrush in the toilet


Saturday_1:55

It was bound to happen one of these days but you never think it will be the day you’re currently in. It all started when I moved into a new house and had to share a bathroom with 2 other guys.

We are all lucky enough to have never needed the bathroom at the same time (knocking on wood) but the bathroom is small and we have alot of stuff.

We all worked hard to place our things nicely in the different drawers and use up the one small closet - however my toothbrush ended up sitting in a cup that I placed ever-so-nicely on the edge of the sink’s edge. Right next to the toilet.

To spare you all the drama - my toothbrush fell into the frigg’in toilet yesterday. It was like some crazy slow motion movie scene where something bad was about to happen and everything got reeeeally bad.

It however wasn’t slow enough because next thing I new, my toothbrush was floating face down and ruined. I didn’t say much - besides a loud yell that sounded much like a cow’s yell with a little change from “m” to “n”.

Luckily I had another toothbrush of mine that I could use but the fact my toothbrush fell into a toilet that was used by 3 other men just didn’t make me feel very good about anything for the next couple hours.

Have you ever had something like this happen to you?

I’m curious.

Lets say 3 other men hadn’t used that toilet. Would that have made you feel better?! All I’m saying is that if my toothbrush falls into any toilet, any where, I am going to toss it.

You make it sound as if you may have dealt with this tragedy differently!

ok - if my toothbrush fell into any toilet or on any bathroom floor I would through it away. The fact there are 3 guys that use the bathroom just further grosses me out.

oooo.. it’s a good thing I didn’t tell you about that one time that I borrowed your bathroom and accidently dropped your toothbrush into the bathtub full of tim’s tweezer adventures… and then whilst trying to get it back into the little cup, I fumbled and it fell into the toilet that I hadn’t yet flushed from the initial borrow of the room. You’ll be relieved to know that I quickly retrieved it and held it under the scalding hot water that freely flows in your previous shelter, therefore cleansing it to be better then even brand new. The more you know… doo dum dum! :D
