I'd pity any rat who crawled up our sewer pipes right now - DS6 has just called me upstairs to proudly show me a turd too big to flush Envy All his own work...

Fekko · 07/03/2018 19:24

I’ve never seen anything crawl up the loo so I think you’re probably safe.

MissionItsPossible · 07/03/2018 19:28

@MagneticMan Jesus Christ I would faint or possibly die if I ever saw that (it actually happened to my cousin when in Florida)

My friend found a dead white one floating/stuck in the church hall loo. And my ex found one coming out of his loo and killed it with a spade.
I've kept the lid down ever since.
It's not a myth.

Noooooo! Lucky it wasn’t a baby alligator!

Skippetydoodah · 07/03/2018 19:30

This happened to my next door neighbour...in an upstairs flat!

QueenLaBeefah · 07/03/2018 19:31

Dear God, why did I open this thread? I feel sick.

DownAtFraggleRock · 07/03/2018 19:32

There are no rats where I live it's too fucking cold

My mum once told me when she was in the Australian outback she was advised to check the loo rim for snakes and spiders.

I now do this every time I use the loo, just in case. My oh thinks it’s hilarious/bonkers. I’m going to show him the clip and see if he finds it so funny now Hmm

That’s one benefit of having a septic system - the rats can’t get in :) still have to check for spiders and lizards though as they can get into the house.

A friend of mine found a dead and rather dried out looking rat in the church warming oven.
The oven hadn't been used for a month. It appeared to have kept itself alive on the remains of an old quiche before succumbing. Either from thirst, excess pastry consumption or an overdose of Graham Kendrick.

My friend let out quite the scream when she opened the oven door and a dead rat fell out. It was huge.

My mum once told me when she was in the Australian outback she was advised to check the loo rim for snakes and spiders.

That is definitely a risk.

I have found massive frogs in my toilet bowl when living in the Kimberley (far north Western Australia).

Giant Toilet Spider Attacks My Foot.

Sleep well!

Threefaries · 07/03/2018 21:34

I might actually start using the baby's potty!

Fuckoffee · 07/03/2018 22:24

HuskyMcClusky I live in the UK Grin

Fuckoffee. Oh. You’re probably safe then. Grin

My father was a police officer, and he said people used to call the police all the time about rats in their toilets.

kungpopanda · 08/03/2018 01:52

What in the name of God did they imagine the police were going to do about it? Caution the rat?

steff13 · 08/03/2018 02:08

They sent out the dog warden usually. He'd catch it and release it in the woods or a park or someplace like that.

Peakypolly · 08/03/2018 02:26

Those swimming rats are so cute though Bear

steff13 · 08/03/2018 02:36

There's a children's museum here that has rats that play basketball.

CuppaSarah · 08/03/2018 07:01

Once I found a work in our toilet! I never used that toilet again.
