AIBU to think there is no place for a mouse on a train!!!

[afromom]

So I'm having the journey from hell today...
The motorway is closed along part of my journey to a work meeting today, so I thought I'd catch the train. Unfortunately there was also an accident in my local area so I couldn't get to the train station on time. So off I set in the car. Of course there are huge delays so I decided to drive half way then catch a train.
I successfully get on the train, to find out it takes 1 hour to get to my destination as it stops at every bloody station in the back of beyond (original train from home town would have taken 50 minutes!)
I made peace with my long journey, bagged myself a lovely unoccupied 4 seat area, most of the carriage was empty. What should happen but the smelliest tramp of a man gets on, sits across the isle from me and proceeds to get a bloody mouse out of his pocket and asked if I would like to stroke it!!!!
I have a huge phobia of rodents so I squeaked my disgust, grabbed my copious bags and dashed to the other end of the carriage.
AIBU to think I should speak to the guard and get him chucked off at the next station???

I would've run away too.

We had a vicar with a chicken. You cant make this shit up. I cant find a link, it was a giant Maran rooster.

I once caught a tiny kitten that had escaped from its carrying cage on a train. Took a very slow walk down the carriage to return it and stole loads of cuddles along the way. Best train journey ever!

I was waiting at a bus stop yesterday when I spied a mouse making his way up the path. As the bus was delayed I decided to stalk it a little bit, it was so cute with its little bum bouncing as it merrily hopped about. It settled on the grass for a little bit and was having a sniff. I was all 'awwwww' until a jogger came past and gave it a scare. The bugger ran right at me and over my shoes. It was so quick I'm ashamed to say I squealed and fell backwards from my squatting position.

Fecking jogger was wetting himself. and the rest of the bus stop wankers

Our old cat used to torment field mice before she killed them. She would play with them before she killed them. Awful.

Squirrels are rabid bastards

Apparently not, expat - this comes from the US Humane Society's website: Rodents (squirrels, chipmunks, rats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs), rabbits, and hares rarely get rabies and have not been known to cause rabies among humans in the United States. Squirrels may suffer from the fatal roundworm brain parasite, which causes signs that look exactly like rabies

It's true they're bastards, though; I once had one hijack my picnic and stupidly offered it a bit of sandwich. I thought it really sweet when it held my finger between its cute little paws - until it sank its teeth into me instead of the food

Originally convinced I'd soon be foaming at the mouth and held down with ropes, that's how I came to find out they rarely get it ...
