Today, my family got into a massive argument about whether or not battery-operated toothbrushes are considered electric toothbrushes. Everyone is in their own room and refuses to talk to each other. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 my whole family has been mistakenly using the same toothbrush for over a month. FML
Today, my husband and I got into an argument over him not brushing his teeth. It ended with him snapping his toothbrush in half. He's 52. FML
Today, I had to beg and argue with my boyfriend to get him to take a shower and brush his teeth. This has become a recurring argument now we're confined together. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because I refused to share a toothbrush with her. FML
Today, my husband and I got into a fight because I refused to let him use my fingernail to clean the plaque off his teeth. FML
Today, my parents had a loud argument over who is worse in bed. FML
Today, my partner got mad at me for forgetting to turn off the bedroom light when coming back from brushing my teeth, and has chosen to sleep in our spare bedroom over it. FML
Today, I bought an electric toothbrush because they're supposed to be a lot healthier than regular ones. My crazy religious mom immediately called me a whore and said she knew what I really wanted to use it for. So that's $80 in the trash. FML
Today, after a long talk with the kids, I finally got all the chores around the house done early so we could have a fun family weekend. My wife decided to be a wet blanket and insisted we needed to deep clean the already clean kitchen. Three arguments later, everyone is sulking, and I'm working in the kitchen alone. FML

9 out of 10 Dentists would agree with you.

Well, all the ones who think battery powered toothbrushes don't count as electric are.

But what were your thoughts OP?
Brandi_Faith 34
This is a hard one to vote on without knowing how Op responded. If Op was part of the argument and is also in their room not talking to anyone, then it's a definite YDI. If Op was the only one in the family that was sensible and isn't mad and not talking, then it's an FML.

Thread jack much?

The answer to the question is yes, they are electric.
JuliaaNoelle 26
Well, what do you think OP? Are they electric?

OP here. Appears I wasn't logged in when I posted this FML. I firmly believe with all my heart that battery powered toothbrushes are considered electric, although the entire basis of the argument my family had has me questioning everything I've ever learned.

I'm trying to figure out what they would consider an electric toothbrush, if they don't consider one that uses batteries to be electric. As far as I know, there aren't any toothbrushes that actually have a cord and plug into the wall while operating.
Brandi_Faith 34
Op: you "firmly believe with all of my heart," this is the issue here, why are you and your family standing so firm on this issue that it's causing issues? It doesn't actually matter in the grand scheme of things. Op were you also one of the ones to be mad and go to your room refusing to talk to anyone? If so then this is a YDI. If you're the only one that didn't react that way then definitely FYL.

Electricity is the exact thing that batteries provide. If they provided oil, they'd be oil-powered. I am having trouble imagining what people think the power source IS if not electricity. In fact, from the looks of it, so is the rest of the comments section.

You know what, I'm going to my room. Don't talk to me.

Batteries run on brain waves. There's no electricity involved.

Except brain waves are electrical impulses.

Does it really matter that much as long as everybody is actually using a toothbrush?

As long as y'all have clean teeth all is well with the world!
