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
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that my stepsister loves sticking random household objects in her ear in an attempt to collect ear wax. I found out when I walked in on her trying to pick all the wax out of the bristles of my toothbrush. FML
Today, I found out that my old roommate used to clean her goldfish bowl with my toothbrush. We lived together for six months. FML
Today, I couldn't find my hairbrush anywhere; I ended up having to brush my hair with a fork. FML
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 found out my sister scratches her butt with my toothbrush every time she is mad with me. FML
Today, I found out my whole family has been mistakenly using the same toothbrush for over a month. 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, I learned that when I leave skid marks in the toilet my wife uses my toothbrush to remove them. 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 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

The plaque and food particles probably gave your eyelashes extra body! Nice repurposing, OP!

I don't see how no one saw this. Some ppl are clean freaks. It's not improbable that they cleaned their braces cleaner after every use. But seriously. You kinda deserved it. If you share a bathroom you should have known that it wasn't yours.

Damn..didn't you notice the chunks of chewed up food sticking to your eye lashes?

Oh god this comment made me nauseous.

I'm sure that OP's sister would clean off all the food and plaque after she used the stick so it didn't get stuck again next time she used it.

Well, did it work for all those years?

Never noticed how messed up and dirty it was for an eye curling brush? I mean, there was no way you couldn't have noticed how messed up it got by only using it for your eyelashes.

It hopefully got washed over the years, wouldn't you think? Haha

Yea i wash my brush off after i finish the top of my mouth, then after i finish the bottom. But i thow it out after a while, and if it was the same brush for years, your sister is pretty gross.

OP here. I visit this site literally everyday so I finally decided to make an account and as I was surfing through the randoms page, I found my old FML! LOL My explanation for this mishap is that those stupid braces cleaning brushes look similar to mascara wands and my friend and I were under the age of 10 at the time that we used this "eyelash curling brush" and we were clearly inexperienced with makeup. When I found out that brush was actually my sister's old braces cleaner, I was pretty disgusted. I don't think I ever told my friend about it either lol

Not in America. There are spelling differences in the British, American, and Australian English. That is one of them.

That one also flew over your head.

It's spelled both ways. And "realised" looks dumb anyway. :P
maosquare 18
Well, there are two different cultures at work here - you can't simply call one type of spelling dumb because, using that logic, I can go around saying words like color, gray, and spelled look dumb too yet I do not because there's rude, ignorant, and extremely arrogant.
SillyGirl4602 23
69- just because you don't spell it that way doesn't mean it is dumb. You're just being rude.

I wonder sometimes if people run their comment through their mind a few times just to make sure it makes sense and has relevance to the topic but.... I guess not.

You must be a special kind of stupid... Ever seen a real eyelash curler? Yeah, they all look like that. A stick wouldn't do a damn thing...
gracehi 33
And an eyelash curler is not the same thing as an eyelash curling brush. An eyelash curler is made of metal and works sort of the same way a pair of scissors does, but instead of cutting it squeezes. Orthodontists often give their patients brushes that resemble the brushes that come with mascara tubes. I can see how someone could mistake on for the other, although I don't know why OP simply wouldn't use the brush that came with the mascara.

The sticks for cleaning out braces look a lot like mascara brushes. I could see how someone could think it was for eye lashes, but I wouldn't put something that close to my eyes that I didn't buy myself. Where did OP think it came from?

The mascara brushes are curved, aren't they? The braces cleaners are not

not all of them, it depends on the mascara.
