Hot Toothbrush Comedy Hour!
 

Gah, I can't do this poll. Heh. (Somehow we need a third choice but I'm not even sure what it should be.) I do know, however, that I am immediately setting up a drawer of spare toothbrushes and fur coats. Thanks!

Jeez Keith is freaking me out about this tooth brush. She's FUCKING you. The least you can do is let her leave a fucking tooth brush and a dumb coat.

i dunno. the toothbrush makes it feel like that's now a shared space which is a bold move so soon. it's a tiny little root and it's a power play. couldn't possibly figure out how to transport a wet tooth brush? really? maybe put down those crystals and pick up a paper towel, honey. she knew and she was waiting for Keith to say something to gauge his reaction.

I agree with you overall. Most people are calculated about this kind of thing.

But you'd also be surprised at how clueless a lot of people are. I can imagine there are some people out there who have a legitimate brain attack when they need to deal with something like a wet toothbrush while rushing to get to work or whatever else commitment they have. They can't just multitask. So I'd give her the benefit of the doubt, unless something else presents itself.

With the fur coat she asked beforehand, but what is Keith supposed to say if he's even a little bit interested in her? No? Seems like an unnecessary discussion. And she brought in the bulky item so she shouldn't have an issue taking it out.

Tooth brush
 

Because I'd be cheesed off Keith would dump me over a toothbrush, Id eat a ton of stinky food before I came round not brush my teeth and breath all over him.

It's a toothbrush, it's a positive sign, if she curled a turd out on your living room floor you'd have to worry/talk about it.

He didn't say it was dump-worthy. It's just an interesting thing to talk about.

edit: also, a fur coat is a lot larger and takes up more space. I'd be worried I was taking up someone's space in a smaller apartment and it would make me uncomfortable, unless we were clearly dating each other exclusively for some months.

If someone left a toothbrush at my place, a flag would go off in my head, so to acknowledge it I would move it to a drawer, not in the same space as the "daily toothbrushes". If someone left a cost, I'd put it away and hope they got it next time.

I would hate spending life feeling like everyone is always trying to get something over on me. If I was proven wrong every time, every time I'd say "Shit, should seen the signs. Oh well, time to move on".

It's nuts how one doesn't see how much of their father they've become.

Can she have a key? “SHE IS LETTING YOU INSIDE HER BODY, KEITH! SHE’S NOT EVEN PRE-CHECKING THE CONDOMS THAT ARE ENTERING INSIDE HER VAGINA! CAN YOU AT LEAST BE RESPECTFUL AND LET HER HAVE A KEY?!”

Is her toaster oven too much? She likes toast from those small ovens instead of a regular toaster, and I can simply put it a spare cabinet.

To soon
 

Keith just got out of a marriage a toothbrush is way too soon a man's got to be cautious don't want to be tricked..just saying

Newsy isn't out of line with this zinger. My dad HATED when women left things over at his place without acknowledging it and having to find these items himself. I think it had more to do with my mom and us 5 children, but Newsy is correct: My dad HATED it!

Like father like son.

Both of these are not a big deal overall but I do agree with Keith that they are noteworthy and slightly strange.

I would understand if she had said she simply forgot the toothbrush but "I didn't know how to transport it?" Has she ever been on vacation? Or slept over at somebody else's place? There are ways to carry around toothbrushes.

Same with the coat. Did it suddenly turn from winter to summer overnight? Did she carry a second coat or is she now running around NYC freezing? Will it be less annoying to have to carry two coats home next time she comes over?

🤣🤣🤣

When I think of a woman leaving an uninvited toothbrush I think of the B word - brazen.

The whole ordeal could have been avoided at a cost of 0.99 cent toothbrush travel case. Also what is up with that furry coat? It’s roughly the size of an adult llama, shoved in his personal space.

The math is simple. Coat + T. Brush = 82 open drawers.

That’s true. Toothbrush is still here. Without a travel case.

If it wasn’t “deliberately” left the first time, was it the second time?

I just pray the toothbrush is not electric. Omg. If she plugged that thing in and left it...

End times. Cuz then she’s sneaking on to the power bill, (which seems great at first) but then she’s got a house key, you come home and the lights are on and she’s standing there with a ring in her hand. “Hey I found this ring. Why don’t you try it on?”

Horror movies are less scary. All from the extrapolation and implication of a single toothbrush. Look. Hygiene is important. Just not at the cost of personal freedom.

Only cause you brought it up: it happens to be electric but it’s broken.

There seems to be so much mind fucking when it comes to dating. Damn. Good luck Keith.

Space is an issue? For a toothbrush and a coat?

NYC apartments must be super tiny.

My gentleman caller left his shampoo in the shower once. Should I be worried?

Maybe leaving things at people's apartments you frequently spend the night over is more uncommon than I thought.

It may be a southern thing but it's not uncommon for people to have extra toothbrushes/towels/tampons/etc at their place. Even single men.

On a more serious note.

I think it is somewhat disrespectful/ not good manners to leave stuff in the beginning hook up stage. Especially a toothbrush. It assumes too much.

I have Pamprin in my medicine drawer. That has nothing to do with what we're talking about.

You're saying you were seeing a guy for a week and then, SURPRISE, one day you noticed he left his shampoo in your shower without telling you?

C'mon nah...

The toothbrush I'm ok with. Maybe it's a power play, maybe it's an accident, whatever. It carries some kind of weight with it but at the end of the day it's like a $3 toothbrush. $5 if she's extra fancy.

The coat, though. That shit is presumptuous. She's written herself an invitation back. What the fuck are you meant to do with that if shit gets weird? Which it could, because you're not talking. A toothbrush is easy to toss.

Also, let's not conflate any of this argument with the argument about what is and isn't cool to say on the show. They're totally separate issues.

"oh look he forgot his shampoo"

Not

"what does this mean for us?"

Did he sneak a shower when you weren't looking with his shampoo?

Why would he have to sneak a shower?

Do you have a "no shower" rule?

You know your situation isn't close to mine, that's why you keep leaving out the details.

Behave.

This
 

This *1000000

The only logical response.
 

The only thing Keith can do now is clean his bum with the toothbrush and burn the coat live on Instagram.


Women we bring it on ourself with our need for warmth and fresh breath :rolleyes:

it's been a week. can we not expect there to be at least a little while where we're hiding some of the strings?

I hope she fills his apartment with candles :D If it was me I'd definitely get mail Redirected to his address.

I'm a prude or old fashioned but if Im having sex with you, I get to leave my stuff at your place.

I have a collection of items men I'll never see again have left in my apartment/dorm/car. Whether they actually spent the night or not. Scarves, shoes, brushes, razors, sweatshirt, pants, etc. I usually just throw it out or donate it if I haven't seen or talked to them in months. Except the scarf... The scarf is nice.

People don't only leave things when they spend the night cause they have an ulterior motive.

I wouldn't be surprised if she has a toothbrush at all the men's/women's houses she spends the night. Cause that just sounds efficient to me lol

Since you're taking this so personal, why not explain why you didn't ask or acknowledge that you were going to leave things at a person's house first?

Socks? That's nothing. Mermaid collects shoes and pants in the first week!

I feel like the cute "I don't wanna talk about where this is going" thing only counts when you aren't having sex.

If we are fucking I need to know exactly where everyone's head is at.

Anything else just seems like a dangerous game to play.

Pimping ain't easy.

Well look at that. Who knew your situation would be totally and completely different?

Aye yie yie...

It's really common for black men to wear a pair of shorts underneath their pants. They get hot or want to get comfortable. They take off the pants but are still fully dress.

Spare shoes in the car. Usually Nike slides. Might have had sneakers for the date or event but changed into the slides to chill later on alone. Usually leave in sneakers with plans to come back for the slides after work or class or something.


Shorts + slides = Netflix and chill attire

The only difference is that I am willing to ask the person I'm fucking directly what their intentions are.

I don't try to hide behind jokes and passive aggressive statements.

If I can fuck em then I can ask them a direct question.

Well it just seems to me that getting your knickers in a twist over a toothbrush or coat is a great way to mess up a relationship before it even starts.

What's the worst that can happen? You're compatible and you live happily ever after, you have sex but nothing comes of it, she takes home her stuff or you chuck it out.

If this is about protecting your feelings then that's something you need to sort out. Why sleep with someone if you don't want some sort of relationship?

with andrea. Since she asked to leave the coat beforehand and Keith didn't give a hard no thats where it moves to being Keith's issue that he didn't own up to in the moment.
