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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

A funny situation turned to a crappy situation that your mother obviously can't handle so I'm sure this is going to be 26 years of disappointment towards you now

It's sad to see such an envious toilet brush go to waste. It lived a long life. It may have experience some shitty moments, but in the end, it always got the job done. It's sad to see such an important member of the toiletry community pass away. RIP toilet brush.

I hope she doesn't make you clean it with your toothbrush. I once got a toilet brush head stuck in the toilet hole (or whatever it's called) an it took both me and my mom's strength to get it out. This FML made my day.

Wow, that's gross... Aren't you supposed to change toilet brushes periodically? I get a new one every few months...

Ok so it's pretty disgusting to use the same toilet brush for 26 years and it probably broke because it was 26 years old. It was way past due to be replaced.

Thank God you broke it.. Your past due for a new brush

I once had a patient who got a toilet brush stuck in his rectum. He swore he was just cleaning his bathroom in the nude, slipped on the wet floor, and fell... "It was a million-to-one shot, Doc!"

This mental image almost made me piss myself from laughing so hard! I can't even begin to imagine the things you must find stuck up people's rectums. I commend you Doc it takes a great person to do what you do and not completely lose it on a patients incompetence.
