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

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

Most of the weird stuff anywhere is posted from Australia. Have you seen Natalie Tran's videos? She's a riot.

How sad! To have put up with shit all of it's life, then only to pass at the tender age of 26. *sheds a tear*

The thought of using the same toilet brush for 26 years kind of grosses me out a little. Those things are meant to be replaced after a while, just like sponges and plungers and cleaning rags. Ew!

makes you wonder what else OP's mom is holding on to that should have been replaced years ago.... Op your mom may or may not be a nut job

Yeah I know I use those disposable toilet brushes just because the thought of using it even twice grosses me out! But 26 years? That's disgusting; so I guess op's toilet hasn't really been clean for twenty five and a half years?

Disposable toilet brushes? Are they made out of cardboard or what?
kimg0885 23
