Love, Animals, Family and Death: Sorry Mr Nibbles

Sorry Mr Nibbles

By JustMyLuck - 06/09/2009 01:31 - United States

Today, I was at my boyfriend's house, meeting his family for the first time. We were all standing in the kitchen when suddenly a small white and brown mouse ran by. Out of natural instinct, I stomped on it. Turns out, it was his little sister's pet mouse that had gotten out of its cage earlier. FML

Today, I was laying in bed when my sister came running in, scared. I took my bat and went into the kitchen where the suspicious noise was coming from. It was a rat, right in the middle of the floor. I jumped on the counter and shrieked, just as my girlfriend walked in, who then actually dealt with it. FML

Today, my pet mouse demonstrated that he has bigger balls than my boyfriend, by running across the dinner table and eating off his plate, all while he jumped out of his chair, screaming like a girl. FML

Today, I accidentally left my sister's hamster's cage open and it escaped. My dad recently put mouse traps down. Guess where I found her. FML

Today, I was sitting on my couch when I felt something weird underneath me. I got up, thinking I'd sat on my phone or something. Wrong. I'd sat on a live mouse. FML

Dinner time

By JJ84 - 31/07/2024 12:00 - Ireland - Dublin

Today, I was having a romantic dinner at home with my girlfriend. Everything was perfect—candles, wine, the whole shebang. As we sat down, I felt something moving under the table. I thought it was her playing footsie. Nope, it was our cat with a very live, very tetchy mouse he'd just caught. Cue the screaming and wine spilling everywhere. FML

Today, my sister brought her class hamster home from school. Somehow it escaped from its cage, and ran into my room. My boyfriend, thinking it was a mouse, stomped on it. I'm stuck cleaning hamster guts from my carpet, and have to explain to a kindergarten class what happened to their pet. FML

Today, I woke up at 6 a.m. and went into the kitchen, where I saw a mouse in front of the fridge. Petrified, I stood in the doorway shooing it for a few minutes. My husband then walked into the kitchen, picked up the "mouse", and threw it in the bin. It was a used tea bag. FML

Today, I came home to find a mouse in the garage. Frantic, I killed it. My 7-year-old son came home from soccer, and started crying because he couldn't find the class pet, Mr. Whiskers. I killed my son's class pet. FML

Today, I set up a mouse trap to kill the rodent plaguing my kitchen. While lying in bed, I heard an unmistakable snap, and ran to see what I'd caught. The mouse trap was missing. I now have a large, angry, and possibly dying animal running around my house. FML

Today I opened the door for my cat and he brought in a rat with him. Now the rat is hiding in my house. FML

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?! Why the hell would you ever step on a mouse? It's not a bug! You are sick and absolutely deserve it.

Wrong natural instinct. Your natural instinct should be screaming and jumping on a chair or table. BTW: are you that fast to hit a mouse?

Your natural instinct was to stomp on the mouse? Where the hell did you grow up, with pissed off fearless elephants??

Your natural instinct was to kill an animal in someone else's house? You are a horrible person. I hope you got dumped.

If you stomped on that mouse, I commend your reflexes. Or maybe it was a slow mouse, I don't know.

I'm not tree hugger, but your first reaction is to stomp on a mouse? You buy a ******* mousetrap. Stomping on bugs works because it usually kills them quick and there's little mess. Stomping on a rat doesn't kill them quick and there's a big ******* mess. YDI

All the debate about whether or not it's right to kill a mouse aside, there are two big issues here: 1) It makes a HUGE mess and probably didn't even kill the poor thing. You probably left it in horrible pain, dying with a broken back on your boyfriend's kitchen floor. That's why we don't try to kill anything bigger than a bug with brute force--there's a danger of its not working. 2) You're on very shaky ground in terms of etiquette here, even if it *hadn't* been a family pet. Some people don't like to see living beings killed. When you're in someone else's home, you go by their rules, and that includes what happens to living intruders like spiders, mice, snakes, etc. You absolutely should have let someone else deal with it. Also, whoever said wild mice aren't brown and white was correct. Anything with white marks, and as well-groomed/clean as I imagine a pet mouse would have to be, is obviously a pet. Think before you act. In conclusion: YDI.
