Put a plastic baggie or small wastebasket liner over your hand to fish it out. Then keep the lid closed!!
I’ve dropped my eyeglasses into the toilet on several occasions. They don’t fit very well and whenever I look straight down they tend to slide off.
Maybe your toothbrush has simply grown tired of the misery that is your mouth, filled to the brim with defiling germs and unspeakable horror? Is your mouth the Event Horizon of mouths? Do your gums make people think of nightmares that would make Clive Barker wake up in a cold sweat? In short… maybe you should floss a little more, and your toothbrush wouldn’t defy the laws of physics and gravity to escape the eternal torment that is being subjected to your mouth.
Amen! My husband trained me on this one. Not only does it look nicer, both men and women have something to lift then put down again. The big, big bonus is that toothbrushes, mascara wands, hairbrushes, and whatever that flies out of clumsy hands in the morning just bounce right off! No more toilet diving for us.
If you needed another reason to keep the lid down as often as possible, I’ve got two words for you: toilet plume.
One time in college, I thought it would be a great idea to adopt the “If it’s yellow…” strategy. One morning my roommate yells, “Damn it, Santo! I dropped my toothbrush in the toilet, and it had pee in it!!!”
My response? "Would it have been better if it hadn’t had pee in it? :dubious:
My toilet is pretty touchy and I end up having to call the plumber every couple of years when I just can’t plunge it successfully. “What’s down there?” Um…the usual? It isn’t because of a foreign body but I guess they get enough of those that that’s their first question.
And the obligatory
Now something of yours has been in the toilet!
Please tell me what it is!
The toilet brush.
Oh, OK, I can get a new one of those.
Yep, lid down. It prevents many problems.
I went to a concert, and they gave out free cassette tapes of some single. I stuffed mine in the back pocket of my jeans. Then I went to the bathroom and the tape leaped out of my pocket into the toilet. I had to fish it out, because obviously I couldn’t flush it or leave it there. Yick. Stupid cassette tape, I didn’t even want it anyway.
I do typically have the lid down. I guess this is one of those freak incidents where fate just comes together to… ram you in the ass.
You mean your former toothbrush just fell into the toilet.
Another reason to leave the toilet lid down: It prevents the dogs from using it as a drinking fountain.
Or from dropping their toothbrushes into it.
Just pour some mouthwash on it and stop being a wuss.
Well, that settles it.
You’re going to have to sell the house and move.
Kind of hard to sell a house with a toothbrush stuck in the toilet.
Potential buyer, “Why are you selling?”
You, “Because I dropped my former* toothbrush in the toilet”.
PB, “Oh…”
