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

It's a freaking toilet brush!! Get a new one. It's not like they're in short supply.

Congratulations, OP, on giving your family (and us) one of the best odd-Mom stories!

Is she a hoarder? My mom freaks out when anything gets broken around her house even though she has nothing of value.

That's disgusting. I throw mine out after one use..same with plungers and anything I use on the tiolet. Why keep that nasty stuff around? They're not that expensive!

You on the other extreme. Mysophobia isn't a good thing. Instead of wasting money like that, why not keep it until you need a new one like a normal person and donate your extra cash to charity?

I live paycheck to paycheck, I don't have extra money. I barely ever need a toilet brush nor a plunger. Sorry...my toilet doesn't get that dirty. I usually use sponges that I've had for awhile for my dishes to clean the toilet. Do you donate?
TechFire 25
Yep. I do.
