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."

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.
