I squealed at nearly stepping on a frog

[Dangerfloof]

Lighthearted.
So I am in a holiday cottage in Scotland right now. This morning 6am or so I squealed when I nearly stood on a frog in the bedroom. OH had to go find something for said frog to be despatched outside (a jug) and just now a bat flew into the bedroom and tried to give me a heart attack and I yelled to OH who has had to go find the jug again and the bat has been safely evicted. Now OH is taking the piss cos I squealed at the frog and hid under the quilt cos of the bat.
Can I in return take the piss out of him and for what reason? He will now tell his entire family that I screamed like a girl, duh.
He had to use a jug to rid us of these animals? No bare hands for my man.
Some other reason?

If I follow correctly, you want to make fun of him for using a jug instead of his hands to remove the frog & bat - but you weren’t brave enough to remove them at all, so that’s clearly going to backfire isn’t it?

Either way it all sounds like a nice, lighthearted bit of boring gender stereotyping so maybe just complain that he didn’t chop enough wood or wrestle a bear to the ground with his bare hands or something.

You got that lighthearted bit right.

Sympathies, Danger.
To my shame, I had to get dd, 15, to deal with a huge frog in our garden the other day. I’d thrown some weeds in a big rigid plastic cool box which had then filled with rain water. When I went to empty it and spotted the frog I screamed very loudly! And made sure to stand a safe distance away when dd turned it on it’s side to let the frog out. 🐸

Its, rather!

And another bat. Maybe same bat 🤷‍♀️ Its flown upstairs. Will now carry phone around to try get pictures. Possibly a window has been left open up there. Managed to not hide under a quilt or squeal.

OP I’m so sorry but I’m desperate to know what form of nature awaits you in the morning.

There's a frog and a bat in the bedroom? I'd sleep in the car and find a hotel tomorrow.

I hope you have a great holiday I'm already jealous Scotland is brilliant

If I stepped on a frog, I'd wibble a bit, then be very pleased as I've never seen one where I live in Melbourne, too dry.

A couple of years ago I went to a holiday cabin in rural Victoria and was just checking out the bedrooms when a bat flew out of one right at me, at eye height. It's amazing how hard it is to make something so small and fast coming right at you. I just had the presence of mind to see where it landed, caught in up in some window curtains and put a tea towel round it, took it outside and let it go. The ingrate did have a nibble at my hand though.

The owner was apologetic, as bats do like to get into the cabins if a door is left open. I didn't mind a bit just didn't want my dog going bonkers trying to catch it.

A frog hopped into my bare foot as I came in the front door yesterday and it was so unexcited I made a noise I've never heard before. And I've just had to usher another one it into the garden this evening, so I feel your pain. But you did remind me of this which is always welcome!

'Catch him Derry' did go through my head straight away.

I don't see any stereotyping - my (6'4 18 stone) DH is scared of spiders and moths and various other wildlife and has to fetch me. He tells people quite openly. My very large dog is terrified of frogs. He sniffed one once thinking it was a leaf and it jumped and bopped him on the nose. He's never trusted a leaf since.

'He's making a mockery of you boy!' 😂

No more wildlife this morning. Theres always tonight though. There were at least 3 bats upstairs. Someone had left a window open. One flew into a cupboard we dont have a key for. So we he evicted the others and shut the window. Dont yet know how to coax the last bat out of the cupboard to evict. Will think and Google today while at the beach.

Thank you for reminding me of the joy that is "Catch him Derry" I just had a good chuckle watching it again on YouTube!

Why did you expect him because you 'almost' stepped on a frog? What a drip! What would you have done had you actually stood on it, expected the SAS to be called. If I were you OH you'd never hear the end of it!
Next year instead of Scotland go somewhere with less wild life.
