Seriously?! Erm do you have a bucket handy that you could scoop it up into?

ThisIsBULLSHIT · 05/08/2014 15:38

Is it snapping? (Ie is it alive?)

ManAliveThisThingsFantastic · 05/08/2014 15:44

Is this a euphemism? Grin

Do you not have a bucket and something to scoop it into? Do you live by the sea?

GuybrushThreepwoodMP · 05/08/2014 15:45

See your GP.

trikken · 05/08/2014 15:45

A real one? How did it get there? Do you live on a beach??

CoffeeTea103 · 05/08/2014 15:46

Did you mean crab or crap.

BIWI · 05/08/2014 15:46

Why would you be being reasonable or unreasonable? Is it reasonable to have a crab in your cupboard?

FiloFunky · 05/08/2014 15:47

I'm assuming it's DPs escaped from the tank. It looks pretty dead... I'm a bit frightened of it Blush

On a scale of 1-10 how bat shit crazy do you think my neighbour will assume I am if I ask for help??

BIWI If it is just sitting there no, but if it is reading the paper farting and has opened the wine I would say hell yes

Am I the only one who immediately thought of bob Marley?

Theres a crab in my kitchen what am I gonna do?

Monkeychopsmum · 05/08/2014 15:53

Cupboard*

Fail.. Grin

ThisIsBULLSHIT · 05/08/2014 15:54

Isn't that UB40 monkey?

Can you prod it with something and see what it does?!

Numanoid · 05/08/2014 15:56

YANBU at being scared, I would be. Also YANBU to ask neighbour for help!
Could you throw a bucket over it and leave it for DP to deal with when he gets back?

FiloFunky · 05/08/2014 15:58

Well.... If I prod it and it moves.... I will freak out. It scares me when out of the tank.... As it could get me!!!

On the other hand it probably needs to be in the water..... And I don't want to be cruel.

FFS.

Good call bullshit I had a feeling that was wrong.

Lets make that a double fail Grin

trikken · 05/08/2014 16:06

Im having nightmares just thinking about how you'd test if a crab is alive or not.

Monkeychopsmum · 05/08/2014 16:10

How did it get into the cupboard in the first place?

Are you sure its not dead and DP has put it there to scare you?

Do you have any BBQ tongues you could pick it up with?

LuisSuarezTeeth · 05/08/2014 16:11

Pick it up with kitchen tongs and cook it

FiloFunky · 05/08/2014 16:12

I don't think so... He wouldn't normally scare me with such things!!

Ok I have tongs.... I am off to prod....

LuisSuarezTeeth · 05/08/2014 16:12

Asking your neighbour for help is not advisable. Can you imagine?

"Filo came round and asked me to sort out her crabs"

Grin
HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 05/08/2014 16:13

How big is it?

Numanoid · 05/08/2014 16:14

"Filo came round and asked me to sort out her crabs"

Lol! Maybe not such a good idea then!

FiloFunky · 05/08/2014 16:23

Well it didn't move I gave it a quick nudge.... Then shut the door...so I guess I wait for DP?!

OP posts:
LuisSuarezTeeth · 05/08/2014 16:41

Crab sticks.

Monkeychopsmum · 05/08/2014 17:01

Just grab it with the tongs and put it in a bucket?
