I can't see a photo?

Aliens? Tea leaves? Slugs? Your DP's pants?

Silverfish?

Whosthetabbynow · 21/03/2026 14:22

Body parts?

Place marking in the hopes of a photo!

Midges. They like stagnant water.

( I'm assuming you normally use a dishwasher in case you thought i was being catty)

My bet is on silverfish but let's see the pic!

I’m intrigued now!

Drain worms

Won't be silverfish as they scuttle away as soon as there is light. They like the dark.

MyThreeWords · 21/03/2026 16:15

These, OP?

beadystar · 21/03/2026 16:23

Slugs? Fruit flies like drains.

@Handrearedmagpie

Did someone open The Trapdoor?

Creepy, crawly, slimy things that stick onto your skin!

Horrid things, with tentacles, that want to pull you in!

Squirmy worms, slugs and snails that lie there in a goo!

They'll wait down there forever, ‘til they get their hands on you!”

“Don't you open that trap door!

You're a fool if you dare!

Stay away from that trap door!

‘Cos there's something down there!”

I think thats clearly the ironing board that went missing from another poster years ago

MrsEmmelineLucas · 21/03/2026 16:53

Is it a very old mooncup?

How did you throw the contents of the kitchen sink into the outside drain?

Presume she meant a washing up bowl?
