Today, I changed my toothbrush because the bristles were wearing down. My brother later asked me why I changed his toothbrush. Apparently we've been sharing the same one for the past several weeks. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my brother came out of the shower and sat with my mom and me on the couch. He then says he liked the idea of the extra toothbrush in the shower, it helps him clean between his toes. I have been using that to brush my teeth for the last two weeks. FML
Today, I found out my whole family has been mistakenly using the same toothbrush for over a month. FML
Today, I found out everyone in my family thought the red toothbrush was theirs, and that all four of us have been using the same toothbrush for months. FML
Today, I found out that my little brother has been rubbing my toothbrush in dog shit for the last month because I accidentally broke one of his toys. 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, while I was brushing my teeth, my 5 year old-son walked into the bathroom. He gave me a mean look and said, "That's Sammy's toothbrush, not yours." I've been brushing my teeth with the dog's toothbrush for two months now. 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, 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, my housemate walked out of the bathroom with my toothbrush in his mouth and asked, "You're not one of those people who cares if someone uses their toothbrush, are you?" FML
Today, my new roommate sent me a picture of our toothbrushes bristles touching with the caption "Look! I made them kiss!" FML

make sure everyone uses a different color of toothbrush.

They come in every color under the rainbow, there's no reason each family member can't have an assigned color (I'm blue)

Sometimes that's not the issue though- my mom and brother shared a toothbrush unknowingly for a month because each thought they had the yellow toothbrush (meanwhile the red one sat unused). Then my brother went on a trip and my mother was wondering where her toothbrush went.

Starts singing I'm blue

Or you could put your name on your toothbrush, or keep it somewhere other than the restroom so no one can get to it.

I'm red, and my oldest daughter is purple, my son's green, and my youngest daughter is pink...no excuse whatsoever.

I've never had to buy a toothbrush- my family uses whatever the dentist gives us at our visits. So if he gives me blue when my old toothbrush was green- now I've got blue. Keeping a strict color system doesn't always work

I keep mine in my room. (I live with 4 other people) Easy to just grab and go. No one else can get to it since I keep my door locked.

That's what my family always did.

Or get a couple single-brush holders. That's what my brother and I have always done. My stuff was on the left side of the sink and his on the right.

Just a warning but unless you put the lid down on your toilet before you flush, it will send little poop flecks throughout the bathroom. These flecks will probably land on any uncovered toothbrushes. Now you get poop in your mouth when brushing. Not a pleasant thought.

Brush it off, OP. I'm sure you were bristling at the thought of it, but you both popped out of the same ****** so this is really a minor issue.

You never know what he does with his mouth let alone the stuff he has on his teeth. I wouldn't be okay with using my brothers toothbrush. I am not even okay with using his bath puff or other hygiene products that he uses to clean his body and teeth.

sadly enough, #10 brushed the thought that this was a pun, off.
doodlecloud 27
It started off as a pun...then it just got weird.

Did he just assume the toothbrush was his previously?
Markovski 18
It's because he is a lazy ass who doesn't want to buy one for himself, or you just need to get different coloured ones.

or it was originally his, but she didn't notice.

My ex and my son had the same thing happen. I never thought I'd hear it again.

Same thing happened to my brother and I, though we had different coloured tooth brushes. He thought that the orange one was his and the green was mine, when it was the opposite. Let's just say we were both very surprised when he saw me using "his" tooth brush..

I posted a similar fml but mine didn't get posted. ?

it's a good thing it only lasted for a few weeks..

Imagine if just years went by but they kept buying the same exact toothbrush and never noticed until one moved out. That's the sort of thing I think about. ?
starile 20
Well, who knows, really? Could've been a lot longer. There's a lot of crud to brush off of teeth over the course of a few weeks.

That sucks...

there's a button for that

brush it off op, it could've been worse...

For your sake, I hope your brother at least has good oral hygiene
