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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 told my boss I need a scrub brush to properly clean the stairs at my workplace. She gave me an old toothbrush. FML
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
Today, I learned that when I leave skid marks in the toilet my wife uses my toothbrush to remove them. FML
Today, I walked in the bathroom to find my son cleaning his penis. It wouldn't have been so bad if he wasn't cleaning it with a toothbrush. 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 found out my whole family has been mistakenly using the same toothbrush for over a month. FML
Today, my mom, not gifted for household chores, proudly announced that she cleaned the toilet. As it turns out, what she'd primarily cleaned was the deodorizer inside the toilet. Then she tried for the stains inside the bowl, unsuccessfully, then she gave up. But yeah, great job. FML
Today, I was teasing my little brother. Later that night, I went to the bathroom to wash up. While I'm brushing my teeth, my little brother slips a photo under the door that shows him scrubbing my toothbrush against his nuts. FML
Today, I cleaned my toilet. I had forgotten it was white. 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.

EduJav321 24
That brush was filthier than the toilet
DiruKitty18 8
Thats what I was thinking, any brush that old can't be to sanitary..
fmljerry26 3
I was thinking the same. Gross.
Isoldael 27
Or the brush could have been cleaned and disinfected in the meantime.
DiruKitty18 8
Yea it may have been cleaned off but even with bleach now and then 25 years is a lot of bacteria.
DiruKitty18 8
Your corn snake hatchling is so cute by the way ;A;
Migole 36
We get a new one at least every few months ... this is just ewwww
Isoldael 27
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!

I hope it was insured...
lonkite101 14
Yup, because everybody insures their toilet brush to make sure it doesn't break. Btw: are you blonde by any chance?

Maybe you don't comprehend sarcasm.

They don't make toilet scrubbers like they used to back in the day!
aperfectxdeath 3
Apparently they didn't make them too well back then either. xD
