  Fun historic fact: the ancient Romans used to do this, sponge on a stick. Shared around in the public bathrooms. 
  Unlike OP though, they had the excuse of limited alternative options…
context: Having a manky shit sponge hanging around in your bathroom is properly rank. ‘Almost as good as as new’ - no it’s not, it’s covered in your turds.
