To be freaked out by a mouse

[DonaldStott]

Okay, I only smoke when I have a drink. Friday night, couple of wines. Watching Glastonbury. Fancied a fag. Dd in bed fast asleep. Far end of the yard. Not a garden. We live in a victorian terrace. Sat on the decking. Little twat pipes its head up to say hi. Sharp intake of breath from me. Runs into the drain.

Aibu to want to buy death traps?

Eh?

No, you're in their terrain, not the other way round.

Get some poison and chuck it under your decking.

If it ran into a drain it's almost certainly a rat, not a mouse. It's not going to hurt you so enjoy your fag & chill.

In a town they say you are never more than 10 feet away from a rat

I wonder what it is about them that scares the shit out of us. I go hysterical if i see one. Maybe because they're so tiny with them beady little eyes.

In a town they say you are never more than 10 feet away from a rat.

In a village, they say you're never more than 10 feet away from a Tory.

How can anyone seriously been freaked out by this ???

Agree with Notknown... cute little animals

Wish i hadn't seen that pic.

Yes you are, it has every right to be there. It's a wild animal and not in your house so get over it. Good god.

In a village, they say you're never more than 10 feet away from a Tory.

Bwa ha ha! Nice.

I was very put out recently to find a mouse had been going through our study, until I managed to surprise it onr day. It just sort of froze staring up at me with the cutest little face! Wasn't sure whether I wanted to get rid of it or keep it.

Don't put poison under decking. What a terrible idea. Lots of wildlife could eat that and die.
