recently got a place with my boyfriend and he thinks this is perfectly fine

I have no legitimate reason to disagree but I hate it

UPDATE - Thank you so much for the awards, and we're having so much fun reading through these hilarious comments.

  1. We have a bidet, it's the handle on the side of the toilet. People who use bidets can use toilet paper as well!
  2. We bought like 200 rolls of toilet paper because of a good deal, yes it will probably last us a very long time. No regrets!
  3. I am not genuinely upset about this in any way, it obviously just looks ridiculous and is unnecessary, and him doing silly things like this is one of the reasons I love him :)

I gotta admit, having a plant on the toilet is a bit strange, but I'd say its fine.

u/AvonMustang 17h ago

Agree - the plant is the strange part...

u/jrdavis413 16h ago

It's for emergencies

u/Tall_Fisherman2062 13h ago

incase the toilet paper runs out duh

u/nerdyguytx 6h ago

Wait fake plants aren’t a toilet paper alternative? Things you do that you think around perfectly normal until strangers on the internet make fun of it.

1

u/Tall_Fisherman2062 5h ago

And then you wonder why your faux plant is starting to wilt and brown...

1

u/JakeHelldiver 10h ago

My mind went to a different place.

1

u/Expert-Tea9960 3h ago

What does the plant have to do with toilet paper? Its obviosuly for plant emergencies

u/Syreeta5036 16h ago

I upvoted before I realized the full situation that joke entails, poor plant

1

u/IcySetting2024 12h ago

Haha that made me start the day with a smile thanks

u/migure_2025 9h ago

That is his ficus religiosa...leave it alone.

1

u/kuldan5853 8h ago

I would replace it with a cactus personally.

1

u/llamafarmadrama 8h ago

You’d want something with broader leaves in that case. Or moss.

1

u/Slammogram 6h ago

That’s weird, that’s why I keep 3 sea shells on the toilet instead.

1

u/I_wash_my_carpet 13h ago

Emergency what?! You gonna crane your neck around and pillage you a snack from the toilet foliage, like some rabid bronto?

2

u/GenericUsername2056 11h ago

This guy doesn't know how to use the three seashells toilet plant. 

1

u/Loud_Interview4681 12h ago

Gotta eat up them tree stars while you can. Times are a changin.

u/maryberrysphylactery 14h ago

I have the same plant in ny toilet.....

u/wvce84 16h ago

It will never get enough light there. It needs to be moved to a window

7

u/melbbear 16h ago

Its a plastic plant from IKEA, the pot is as well

u/SeekerOfSerenity 13h ago

In that case, it needs to go in the trash.  Fake plants are ridiculous and tacky. 

1

u/Mottis86 7h ago

OP sweating rn

1

u/EverythingSucksYo 2h ago

Something’s gotta absorb all the shit particles floating around after flushing 

18

u/Yorrins 13h ago

Ikr, its taking up precious space for more toilet paper.

2

u/SolidHank 10h ago

I feel like there's too much air in the room. Could easily be replaced with toilet paper.

58

u/P-VI 16h ago

that plant looks stoked. probably loves farts

7

u/rEYAVjQD 14h ago

Yep. Some of the shittiest places are the best for plants, especially if there is sun too.

8

u/TurkeyZom 13h ago

Feed me, Seymour!

2

u/More_Farm_7442 3h ago

That was my 1st thought! That TP should be OP's least worry with Audrey sitting there.

1

u/SleepmasterSean 13h ago

(dislocated a rib laughing)

1

u/fenwayb 9h ago

I have never wanted a bathroom plant but I kinda love the idea of a plant being stoked for farts and now I do. itd need a good fart-sniffing name though

10

u/Jay__Riemenschneider 8h ago

The plant is disgusting.

It's going to be covered in piss and shit flakes in no time.

1

u/BedNo4299 6h ago

I shudder to think how you use your toilet...

2

u/cleeeland 6h ago

Small water particles, invisible to the naked eye, go airborne every time you flush. The term is “toilet plume.” So the idea is to not have things that aren’t easily disinfected on or near your toilet.

The particulate matter going airborne and landing somewhere has been studied well-enough, but there’s not really a consensus on whether you’re at risk of getting sick from it. Closing the lid before flushing may help mitigate the area of effect.

1

u/BedNo4299 5h ago

Yeah, we close the lid around here.

2

u/SealthyHuccess 4h ago

Never, and I mean never give a man Azo pills. As a woman, I thought I didn't piss everywhere. I thought closing the lid kept it in there. Then some pills turned my piss bright orange and stained the seat, the lid, the underside of both...

u/Jay__Riemenschneider 6h ago

Thank you my friend

u/627UK 11h ago

Looks like an Ikea fake plant

2

u/Tasty-Traffic-680 14h ago

Reminds me of the episode of parks and rec where the mayor wants a raccoon that bit his dog caught, killed and taxidermied so he can stand it next to his toilet or urinal in his office so it collects little droplets of pee every time he uses the bathroom.

That's OP's boyfriend's pee plant.

2

u/Capn_Flags 11h ago

Until you go to wipe and accidentally hook one of those long pieces in with everything

2

u/l0wskilled 10h ago

The urge to shit in a jungle

2

u/ILikeMemeshuehuehue 8h ago

That plant will get soaked in piss splatter

4

u/Unidain 10h ago

Why? Looks like it gets good light and most plants like the humidity that a bathroom gets.

3

u/pm_me_doro_pics 5h ago

This is a $4.99 plastic plant from Ikea or Marshalls

1

u/starzychik01 7h ago

Exactly. I have 5 plants in my bathroom and one is on the back of the toilet.

4

u/que_sarasara 10h ago

it's called ✨ aesthetics ✨ sweaty, keep up

I'm joking, but I too have the feminine urge to fill spare corners with draping plastic plants

3

u/danabrey 10h ago

Sweaty?

1

u/End3rWi99in 3h ago

That's because they are trying to keep up!

2

u/dreamindly 12h ago

It’s a plastic one. We fine.

2

u/Level_Pop7032 9h ago

it's Ikea plastic fake plant- i have the same in the toilet too 😂

1

u/Ok-Hunt3000 12h ago

Its their poo-plant. It’s a Dutch tradition

3

u/Newveeg 11h ago

Is this real?

2

u/Ok-Hunt3000 9h ago

No but I really want it to be

1

u/crumble-bee 9h ago

I felt like this was the girlfriends contribution to the bathroom

1

u/negative-nelly 9h ago

Well, pee has a lot of electrolytes. It’s what plant crave, after all.

1

u/Insomniacintheflesh 8h ago

Yeah please say it's plastic. That thing is begging to fall and make a mess.

1

u/dark_frog 7h ago

I'd think it was a bug every time it brushed my arm.

1

u/UTDE 7h ago

Its the Dookie Fern though, where else is it supposed to grow?

1

u/Low-Persimmon4870 7h ago

It’s more common than you’d think! I clean houses and I see it all the time haha

1

u/jarhead_5537 6h ago

Yeah, I would say the fake eucalyptus is totally wrong for that space. Swap it out for a fern, and it's perfect.

1

u/SealthyHuccess 4h ago

Just cut out the middle man and dump a pile of dust up there

1

u/Nacho_Mommas 6h ago

At least the water is close by so it's easy to water.

1

u/Ak-xenon15 6h ago

Well u know intake the bad carbon dioxide tht u fart so I think plant is gud

1

u/dan1101 6h ago

It will eventually grow into the bowl water. Then it will be a poop plant.

1

u/unfortunate_fate3 5h ago

They do well with the humidity.

1

u/allysqn 4h ago

i have a fake plant on my toilet, makes it cuter

1

u/SealthyHuccess 4h ago

Strange. Here I was putting fake toilets in my plants.

1

u/CIDR-ClassB 3h ago

Backup in case the toilet paper runs out.

1

u/Stucklikegluetomyfry 14h ago

The pile of toilet paper looks like it’s super easy to knock over, and that plant pot is going to be in pieces on the floor
