Today, I cleaned the toilet so vigorously that I snapped the handle of the brush. I laughed and told the rest of my family. Instead of joining in on the hilarity, my mother screamed, "We have had that toilet brush for twenty-six years!" FML

I can only imagine the horror of what a brush would look like after being used for 26 years to clean a toilet. You did your family a favor.

You never know, the brush could have been received at the same time as another event happening. As a house warming gift for example.

Even if it was a house warming gift, toilet brushes should be replaced after a few years. They get nasty and harbor all sorts of bacteria.

I wonder what that toilette brush did that was so terrible in a previous life, to deserve 20+ years of service to cleaning shit.

Thats what I was thinking, any brush that old can't be to sanitary..

Or the brush could have been cleaned and disinfected in the meantime.

Yea it may have been cleaned off but even with bleach now and then 25 years is a lot of bacteria.

107 - if you disinfect properly, the brush will have fewer bacteria on it than the ones you buy from the store. How long it's been in use has little to do with that. And thanks, I think he's cute too!

Yup, because everybody insures their toilet brush to make sure it doesn't break. Btw: are you blonde by any chance?
