Mmm Vinegar

Have you ever had that disgusting feeling that come right after picking up your toothbrush and having the excess water from the head splash your hand? The excess water that should not be there if you last brushed your teeth twelve hours ago and yet is still on your brush and running down the handle, dripping into the sink. I have. In fact I've had this happen so many times to my toothbrush that I've decided that someone else is using my toothbrush. It is always in the little plastic holder that is in such a place so that it shouldn't be easy to tip over. The only way you'd be getting my toothbrush out/wet without getting the others out/wet is if you had purposely taken it out.

I've bought countless toothbrushes because in the beginning I thought "Oh, maybe they mistook my brush for theirs" but now I have no idea what's going on. I can't imagine anyone here doing it on purpose.

So what I decided is that I'm going to put things on my toothbrush. Things that are edible but that shouldn't be on your toothbrush. Vinegar, salt, sugar. And I'm going to do it every day until I hear someone complaining. I will be storing my new toothbrush upstairs in my bedroom while my old toothbrush, the one someone has apparently decided they want to share with me, will stay in the toothbrush holder downstairs.

Am I evil? I don't know, maybe. Am I paranoid? Justifiably I believe.

Now in theory this shouldn't effect anyone. Seeing as everyone should have their own toothbrush. So placing things on my toothbrush shouldn't really affect anyone but myself.

I know that I can rule out my husband as he had been asleep all day today as soon as he came home from work (plus the other times that he was outside the house when I found my toothbrush wet). So that leaves the four other people in this house. I have my suspicions but I don't know why they (or anyone) would want to do it.

Of course the other option is that someone is running my toothbrush under water just to freak me out. But that's just the really paranoid part of me talking. The other side wants to believe that they are using the brush for whatever reason they want to use the brush. Hopefully they will get an interesting taste the next time they decide to use it and complain to the other members of the household.

What do you guys think? Am I crazy? I know I'm a little crazy but am I the kind of scary crazy for thinking and doing this?
