pink tote lid moment

The “pink tote lid moment” trend began when a visibly upset teen girl posted a now-deleted TikTok video. In it, she films herself in her dark room, speaking in a whisper so her mother won’t hear her, as she recounts a confrontation they had. The girl says she was drying her hair in the bathroom when her mother banged on the door, saying she needed help. When the teenager asked for specifics, she recounted, her mom demanded that her daughter put the “goddamn pink tote lids in my f**cking bedroom.” It’s come to signify the experience of being belittled or demeaned by one’s parents, in some cases even physically abused.
