Overheard Today at Work:
Today while I was checking prices in the Health and Beauty aisle, a man talking on his cell phone to whom I presume was his wife says, “Yeah, I can’t remember what toothpaste you wanted. I know you want gel but I can’t remember the brand.”
(pause, as he listens to the voice on the other end)
“Okay, well I got your dental floss. I am going to pick up a toothbrush for myself, too.”
(pause)
“YES I need a new toothbrush. The one I had at work fell on the floor in the bathroom.” (pause) “It fell by the urinal.” (pause) “No, I will never put that toothbrush in my mouth again. It may as well have fallen IN the urinal. Would YOU ever use that toothbrush again? I’m getting a toothbrush…” as he walks away, picking up a toothbrush and going to the checkout.
Geez, cut the guy a break, lady! You’re getting toothpaste and dental floss, can your husband have a new, sanitary, freakin’ toothbrush??
Would you ever use a toothbrush again that fell on the floor in a public restroom?
Would you argue with your significant other about getting a new toothbrush if it happened to them?

I don’t *think* I would use a toothbrush that fell on the floor in a public bathroom, unless it was thoroughly sanitized? But, at that point, it would probably be better just to buy a new one. And I certainly would want my SO to get a new toothbrush if he wanted one, regardless of if it fell on the floor or was just old and frizzy. It’s not a Corvette.
Plus, he’d be kissing me with that mouth!
I would probably advise him not to get another SoniCare brush, though…those things are pricy!
No way would I use a toothbrush that fell on the floor in any public place and I would go out and get my husband a new toothbrush and not aruge about it. That guys wife sounds like she needs to be kicked to the curb and left there for the street sweeper to come along and dispose of.
The day David and I have an argument about whether or not to buy a new toothbrush is the day we file for divorce. Such a silly, petty thing to fight over.
@princessjami - @grannyinboxers - @the_rocking_of_socks - Short on time, but yeah…petty and quite uncaring, IMO!
Weird. Sad. If I had to explain why I’m spending three bucks…that’s when I know I should kill myself.
@Xcholo4u - We have toothbrushes for as low as 99ยข. It was messed up. I had to act like I wasn’t listening. That was difficult. I wanted to look over at the guy and say, “Are you kidding me??” but I didn’t.
Toothbrushes are cheap. I’d just be happy that my SO is taking an interest in their dental health
Seriously… maybe he should’ve taken the old toothbrush home and let HER use it… what a bitch.
For one, I wouldn’t be using a toothbrush in a public place, haha.
I gag when i brush my teeth just because of the thought of ..well the slimy gunk that hides in my teeth..
But yeah, let the guy buy a new toothbrush.
Also, why do we not think of getting a new one until someone else needs something from that isle?.. ha
