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!

You deserve it. You don't ever, EVER, use anything on your eyes that hasn't been newly purchased or thoroughly sterilized beforehand, then used exclusively by you. You especially don't use something you just find in a drawer.

Am I the only one who feels sorry for her sister? Cleaning her teeth with something her sister used on her eyelashes. Yuck! :P

OP must've be inexperienced in makeup. I have never heard of an eyelash curling BRUSH before. That would've tipped me off the second she mentioned it. Plus, OP must not have had braces. Because those tooth cleaners are pretty standard for brace sufferers.

I'm sorry, OP, but you deserved it. I had braces before and one of those braces cleaning brushes and they do NOT resemble an eyelash curler AT ALL

Must have worked well if you used it for years so don't complain

Sorry for thread-jacking, but I still can't believe our fellow commentors are chewing OP out for not seeing her mistake. I'm ashamed to read about all the lashing out at her. Though this FML has me wired to the thought of having food in your eyes, disgusting.

That is really nasty but, shouldn't you have noticed the shape of the brush wasn't contoured for eyelashes
