#932 The crusty build-up of toothpaste on your toothpaste tube

This is one of those things where you say, "eh, I'll clean it tomorrow," and then tomorrow rolls around and you find yourself saying the same thing. The same routine will follow for days, and then weeks.

Eventually, you'll hit the breaking point. This breaking point usually occurs when you're squeezing the toothpaste and there's barely anything coming out because it can't get through the dried, crusty, old toothpaste that has accumulated around the opening of the tube. The only solution to this is to use your fingers to pick apart the crust and clean the opening. It feels disgusting and it's slightly annoying, sure, but can you really be angry when you could have prevented this by just rubbing off the specks of drying toothpaste on day one? Yet another slight annoyance is caused by procrastination.

It's just slightly annoying.
