Today, I realized that the "eyelash curling brush" that my best friend found in my old bathroom drawer was actually a stick used for cleaning food out of my sister's braces. I used that thing for years. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I found out that my stepsister loves sticking random household objects in her ear in an attempt to collect ear wax. I found out when I walked in on her trying to pick all the wax out of the bristles of my toothbrush. FML
Today, I found out that my old roommate used to clean her goldfish bowl with my toothbrush. We lived together for six months. FML
Today, I couldn't find my hairbrush anywhere; I ended up having to brush my hair with a fork. FML
Today, my girlfriend was visiting, and while in the bathroom, she clogged the toilet. Since there was no plunger in the room, she unclogged it with the only thing she could find: my mother's hairbrush. FML
Today, I found out my sister scratches her butt with my toothbrush every time she is mad with me. FML
Today, I found out my whole family has been mistakenly using the same toothbrush for over a month. FML
Today, I stayed over at my grandparents' house. I woke up and had to brush my teeth. My grandma asked if I had found a toothbrush to use. I told her that I used my old purple toothbrush. She told me that was the toothbrush she used to brush her toenails. FML
Today, I learned that when I leave skid marks in the toilet my wife uses my toothbrush to remove them. FML
Today, after a fight, I caught my sister rubbing my toothbrush on the inside of our grimy toilet. This is why I have trust issues. FML
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've had that toilet brush for twenty-six years!" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

The plaque and food particles probably gave your eyelashes extra body! Nice repurposing, OP!

Why would you use anything on your eyes you just found laying around? That's so unhygienic! Never ever share eye make up or tools!! Of course I have chronic eye issues. The wind blows the wrong way and my tear ducts get infected. I'm preachy about not sharing eye makeup.

I just eally don't see how essentially a special brush-toothpick can be confused with an eyelash curler!

Aren't eyelash curling brushes usually thicker? I don't think your sister enjoys eyelashes stuck in her braces either.

I've got braces and I'm just point to say that rreeaallyy sucks! I'm sorry but I mean.... those are kind of noticeably different though. and even if they were similar, you should have changed them out after a year.

I'm not sure how you could confuse those two things...isn't one essentially a brush on a stick and the other a two-part clamp?

I think the two-part clamp is called just an "eyelash curler" but the "brush" part is what you'd find in a mascara tube to apply it to your lashes. (:

Oooh...well that makes more sense but I'd probably refer to it as a mascara brush/applicator in that case.

I can gaurantee you that all traces of food particles will have dissapeared after years of use...you'll be ok :)
