The floor is sticky College roommate borrowed my toothpaste and this is how he returned it
The color of my toothpaste is purple and apparently he had his old toothpaste on his brush before he used mine.
EDIT: It's not shit. His old toothpaste was brown.
Still mildly infuriating...

OK, I really hope it’s not shit. I would just like to know is your roommate a woman or do they wear makeup because I’m thinking maybe they accidentally tried to screw on the lid to their foundation or concealer to the toothpaste by mistake because they were just sitting on the counter and they were a mess and then they didn’t bother to clean it, which is equally as shitty, but at least it wouldn’t be poop. Regardless, they should buy you toothpaste.

What would his old toothpaste color have anything to do with there being brown shit all around the top of your toothpaste?
Do people keep their old toothpaste on their toothbrush after they’re done brushing their teeth?
And then, before their next teeth brushing, they rub that old toothpaste all around the top of the toothpaste bottle?
Is that the implication?

This also doesn't make sense.
I washed my toothbrush after use until no toothpaste or anything else is left on the brush.
For that friend to scrub their toothbrush on the nozzle and left those questionable thing on it means their toothbrush is disgustingly dirty. Who brushes their teeth like that? Their hygiene habits should be debated.

Even if you don't rinse it, toothpaste gets dry and this couldn't happen. My best guess is that he's one of the people who use a humongous amount of toothpaste. Applied his own, it run out before achieving the desired amount, so he applied OP's on top of it and made a mess.

u/LoganoXD 13h ago
Yeah I have no clue how that’s even possible. Even if he did need to touch the nozzle to the brush (he doesn’t) it would be the tip where the toothpaste comes out, no? Why would he need to put the bristles on the threads that the cap screws onto? It literally just doesn’t make sense

EVEN IF we suppose his old toothpaste "is brown," 😒 why is it all over the ring of YOUR toothpaste opening? What did he do? Does he not just squeeze a small amount onto the toothbrush? There's no need for the toothbrush or old toothpaste to touch another tube. Throw it away and get new toothpaste. I wouldn't trust that anymore.

What I find mildly infuriating about these posts is the lack of explanation or communication from the roommate. Them applying the toothpaste to their brush doesn't explain why it's brown. No toothpaste is brown.
So there was no follow up question to that? Just ok, walk away and post on Reddit, so hundreds of ppl can ask that one question OP didn't bother to ask. BUT WHY IS IT BRIWN THO? lol
