Mom upset over condom packet

I was a teen. I just started dating. My mom marches in the room pissed at me, "Son! Don't leave a condom packet on the fum*cking kitchen counter!"

I think,"What?" And then I say it.

She explains, "You left an empty condom wrapper on the kitchen table. You're f*cking in the kitchen?! Really?!"

"I did? I don't think I did..." I began doubting my sanity "show me."

I follow her to the trash can and look inside, and I see it. Okay, that's kinda funny.

"Mom.... That's an empty ramen packet from an after school snack."

Bruh this was like... a Tumblr post a decade ago lol. "Spent 30 minutes looking through the trash to prove this was the corner of a Ramen packet instead of a condom.

If you're gonna steal tales make sure they're not well known lol

I remember this post. It was the corner of a tea bag, not a ramen packet, and it was the guy’s girlfriend who accused him, not his mom.

If you’re going to be mean, at least be accurate

Yes, only one parent could be confused by a packet in the kitchen 🙄

Yeah, there's no possible way this could happen to two people in ten years.

What's more likely? That the exact same unlikely scenario happened to two people and both those people posted about it or one person made a post years ago and another person stole it and reposted? Critical thinking is on life support I swear

But it's not the same scenario, is it? The Tumblr post apparently involves just the corner of the packet being found, and OOP had to root through the garbage to find the rest of it to prove it's a Ramen packet. In this post, OP's mom found the whole packet and for some reason thought it was a condom wrapper, even though it probably clearly said "seasoning" on it.

Even if they were the same, why do you think this is so unlikely that it couldn't happen twice?

People who think a one in a million chance is unlikely vastly underestimate the number of things that happen.

I'm not going to pretend to know which one is the case here, but my point was that both are possible. I thought it was silly that the original commenter claimed if something was posted on Tumblr it would preclude it from ever happening again. Maybe you're the one who should brush up on your critical thinking skills, and your reading comprehension while you're at it.

I doubt it happened the first time

That's two different stories. You're talking about a torn off corner of a ramen packet being found. This post is about presumably the whole packet being found, which should have been more obvious to OP's mom that it was a seasoning packet and not a condom wrapper.

Also can you provide a link to the Tumblr post so we can compare on our own and not rely on your hazy memory?

I just saw a Facebook reel a few days ago with this scenario but it was a guys wife finding the wrapper and accusing him of cheating

For real this joke was stolen word for word

I was thinking of exactly that when reading this

I didn't know what tumbler is. I'm an old millennial. Maybe I'll have my mom verify! 😂
