Brace yourselves, because this might be a lot to digest. One moment you’re simply navigating your daily life (with the usual distractions of kids, work, and everything else), and the next, you stumble upon a revelation about something called a poop knife.
Yes, you read that correctly—a poop knife.
The revelation began when a Reddit user, going by the name “CuriousBum,” shared a post in the confessional section that started with a shocking admission: “I was 22 before I realized that not every family has a poop knife.”
CuriousBum gets straight to the point: “My family produces some serious waste.” Okay, an unusual way to kick things off, but let’s see where this goes.
“Our household had an actual poop knife. It was an old, rusted kitchen knife that hung on a nail in the laundry room, exclusively for that purpose. It was totally normal for someone to yell down the hall, ‘Hey, can you grab me the poop knife?’”
I was under the impression that it was standard household equipment—right alongside the trusty plunger and toilet brush. Standard equipment? I mean, is it too on-the-nose to say “holy moly”?
In CuriousBum’s post, he recounts an embarrassing moment when he discovered that not every family partakes in such a peculiar practice. After all, not every household requires a tool to assist in the, shall we say, transition of their bowel movements into the plumbing system.
His cringe-worthy story quickly gained traction online, going viral on Reddit within hours. If you’re anything like me, you might be itching to check the comments to see if others share this unique experience. But heed my warning: avoid those comments at all costs!
CuriousBum is not alone in this bizarre revelation. Others joined in, sharing equally awkward family tales, though some claimed to have escaped the poop knife tradition.
Perhaps we can just skip that upcoming barbecue invitation—thanks anyway! Another commenter dives right in and says, “Some details should remain unshared!”
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to consider purchasing an entirely new set of cutlery for the rest of my life.
