A while ago, my roommate came down with a stomach bug. I spent a good couple of days being serenaded by the sounds of his vomiting, and it wasn't very pleasant. I had a lot of pity, until one day I caught him taking the mixing bowl out of the kitchen cupboard for purposes of being sick on the go. Rest assured, I was horrified, and quickly gave him a non-food preparing replacement.

Apparently, though, this isn't how everyone thinks. The internet was exposed to this unfortunate realization recently when @TheUnmumsyMum shared how her children had been upset to realize that the same bowl they were sick in was also used for baking cakes. Her admission led to many others claiming that it was the same in their house, or even worse.

Not everybody was pleased that so many were opening up about their foul household habits. To nobody's surprise, there were many aghast reactions, as well as jokes about the hygiene of white people. Let this be another reminder of how we don't need to talk about everything on social media.
