I (21/M) live mostly alone, though every now and again my mother stays at this appartment. For whatever reason, there are 4 toothbrushes in the cabinet, and for whatever reason, I couldn't remember whiich is mine. There was a blue one, a green one, and two teal ones. I had a teal one that I took from my boyfriend's place bc after I slept at his I had a dentist appointment, but there were two teal ones, so obviously that didn't help. Somehow I just kinda woke up one day and had 0 recollection which toothbrush was mine! So I was forced to play toothbrush roulette, but I kept forgetting which one I used. I swear I didn't get hit over the head or anything, tho I am on new medication that has memory issues as their side effect - I was stuck in tooth brush purgatory. I couldn't just ask people which one they thought my brush was, and somehow all of them kind of looked used. The only recollection of a toothbrush I had was my bambus-wood-toothbrush, but I knew I had replaced that one with a pack of new ones. I knew I had a toothbrush, but I couldn't figure out which one was mine.
Today, my mom slept over, and I finally just now built up the courage to ask.
My mom uses an electrical toothbrush.
All four are mine.
....
I'm such an idiot.
TL;DR: I forgot which one was my toothbrush, tortured myself mentally for it for a month, turns out their all my toothbrush.
