“It was a super weird egg shaped sponge,” he wrote. “I found this eggsponge hilarious and asked my wife why she would get such a weird shaped sponge and not just a normal square one.”

To which, she told him “it would be easier to use than the old one to put makeup on.”

“We believe that that’s the reason for her recurring acne,” he added. “The wife is not happy and I feel horrible.”

He was still confused, however as to why she would put it on the sponge rack with the other bathroom sponges.

“She didn’t want any bacteria growing on the moist sponge which could happen if she left it in her [makeup] bag,” he wrote. Again something he had no idea about.

Poor guy!

“I hope she can forgive my dumb— soon,” he added saying he then went out and bought her a whole new set of make up sponges.

Commenters on the post found the whole story hilarious with one person saying: “Now tell her what you have been cleaning with her toothbrush…!”

“Dude, after this blows over, you need to walk in when she’s brushing her teeth and make the same confused expression and ask if she uses that to brush her teeth with,” someone else suggested.

A third person shared their own story of a bathroom mix-up:

“I’m crying. When I was a kid I cleaned my turtle’s shell.

Mum: (days later) How did you clean it?

Me: I used the old scungy toothbrush in the bathroom.

Mum: What scungy toothbrush?

Me: The one with the frayed bristles.

Dad: [begins retching]”
