Ban that "rule"!

Today, I had to explain to my husband that the 5-second rule doesn't apply if you drop the floss into the toilet. FML

Yeah, you're definitely right. As a microbiology student, I can tell you that aquatic bacteria are generally more badass than those that thrive on hard surfaces. Ground bacteria usually abide by the 5 second rule because they respect the law, but aquatic species are outlaws. They don't give a ****. I actually saw "**** the police" tattooed on an aquatic bacterium's head one time. You don't mess with them.

Men have very few things that belong to them in a shared bathroom. Usually women fill the counters and shower with all their toiletries. All he wanted was one piece of floss to his name. It fell, he wasn't done, he did what he had to.

This is a fact. My girlfriend hasn't even moved in yet, and already she's got double the amount of stuff I've got in the bathroom.

It doesn't apply anywhere considering the very fraction of a second the piece of food comes in contact with a surface containing bacteria, millions of the bacteria ate already on it.

By right, toilets have fewer bacteria than countertops. Dogs drink that water because they can tell its cleaner the water in their dish.
