Yes, in the toilet.
I was not amused. I can’t fall asleep without brushing my teeth, and there it is, sitting in the toilet. I don’t even want to reach in and grab it. I’m just going to leave it there until the morning.
Luckily, I have an entire package of toothbrushes in my medicine cabinet.
Which I don’t have any medicine in.
That seems wise. I’m sure it will be much easier to deal with in the cold gray light of dawn. Just be sure to fish it out before you pee on it. 
Hmmm…could be a whole new wrinkle to having a shit eating grin…
And why were you brushing your teeth over the toilet, anyway?
I dropped my purse in the toilet a few months ago. And it was a public restroom. I was leaving the stall and the strap broke at just the right moment and :: plop :: in it went. I snatched it out double quick but the outside still got all wet. And I was on my way to a talk that I could not miss. So what could I do? I got some towels and went on my way. Lucky for me I had already flushed. .
I wasn’t, I went to grab it out of the medicine cabinet (which is odd, because I don’t keep the toothpaste there… only toothbrush, Q-tips and deoderant…), and it went flying out of my hand.
And for some reason, I’ve decided I still shouldn’t be asleep, but that’s a MPSIMS for another time.
Once I dropped a whole roll of toilet paper in the toilet.
Our bloody cat knocked four rolls into the bowl at one time.
I can’t even blame a cat…it just fell out of my hand while I was putting it on the spool.
Now…there was the time I filled a toilet with shaving cream. That was fun. It doesn’t really flush down that well, it just kind of stays on the surface of the water.
You’ll want to watch this video.
A wise strategy. As you’ve discovered, you never know when your toothbrush will unexpectedly get yucky, be it due to a toilet or slime mold.
I once dropped my electric razor in the toilet. While it was on. It kept right on going, its hum slightly muffled, little bubbles emanating from the shaving head. Me being almost totally useless in the morning, I blanked right out, staring at the now humming and bubbling toilet in defeatist disbelief, in search of some better plan for a few seconds, till I finally resigned myself to just grabbing it out.
Once I dropped my cell phone in to a urinal. Got it out just in time though, no damage, that phone seems to be indestructible.

People, people, people: Unless you are using it, keep your toilet lid down. Not the seat, the lid.
When things fall in the toilet, many people try to flush them away. You would not believe the things our plumber has had to snake out of tenants’ toilets.
Obviously it wants to address your biggest cavity.
That was me with my toothbrush. I was so angry I just hit the lever without thinking. Needless to say, I then learned how to remove and reinstall a toilet.
Me too. Only I dropped the toothbrush while the flush was already in progress. You’d think there’d be some way to break the toothbrush once it was securely lodged, but no.
Put the lid down before flushing to avoid this. Even Unca Cecil recommends this, but for different reasons.
Got that? Raise lid only when actually using the toilet. Otherwise, lid down.
I was wearing one of those long sweaters with the sweater-belt at work a few weeks ago, and I went to the bathroom and somehow stupidly dropped the end of the belt into the toilet. A public library public toilet. At least I knew it was my pee.
