Today, I was awoken at 1:30 a.m. by a strange noise, and something tugging on my hair. I opened my eyes, to find a very large rat sitting on my pillow, chewing my hair. FML

What a cozy moment

Today, I woke up to a squeaking noise and the feeling of something furry on my cheek. I smiled, thinking it was my guinea pigs nosing me awake. Then I remembered that my guinea pigs were in their cage on the other side of the room, and opened my eyes to see the biggest rat ever staring right at me. FML

Today, I woke up and went into the bathroom and noticed a dark mass in the toilet. Thinking someone took a dump and didn't flush, I approached the toilet ready to dispose of it. That's when I noticed its whiskers and ears. It was a rat, and it was alive. FML

Today, I was napping. I woke up to my pillow making some sounds. Thinking it was my head shifting my pillow, I went back to sleep. Later on I woke up to the sounds again, and a mouse staring at my face. FML

Sobering

Today, I made my way to bed around 4am after spending all night hanging out with my family. When I got to my bed, I started to clear a spot to lay down. Almost immediately, my hand touched something furry and cold and, fearing the worst, I turned the light on. Turns out my cat left me a half eaten rodent. FML

Today, I woke up to my cat slowly dragging her paw across my face. I opened my eyes to see a bloody mouse dangling an inch from my face. It was still twitching. FML

Today, around 2:00 a.m. I had just sat down on my couch when I noticed one of my cats poking at what appeared to be a toy. I attempted to pick it up to play with the cat when it started to move like a mouse. I squealed like a girl and woke up my wife upstairs. I'm a 26-year-old man. FML

Today, I woke up to what sounded like twigs snapping. Turns out it was the skull of a live mouse being crushed in my cat's jaws. FML

Today, I dreamed a rat crawled up from the toilet and attacked me. Now I'm afraid to even enter the bathroom. FML

That is when you say time for a new wig and pillow and maybe even a pet cat. But still that is funny.

It's probably pregnant and wants your hair to make a nest for its babies.

As a pet rat owner of several generations, this is very (creepy) true.

Domestic rats are actually very hygienic animals, and VERY cute! Hopefully this rat was the OP's pet...if not, then that would be quite worrying.

My pet rat Sunny (RIP) would get excited when I'd tickle him, and "popcorn" around the room happily. (Look up videos of pet rats popcorning, it's totally adorable). He also loved to cuddle with me and would groom my fingers. His brother that I still have, Remy, has always been shy but is warming up to me now and is extremely sweet. :) While I completely understand not wanting wild rats in your house (I don't either), pet rats are COMPLETELY different, cleaner than cats, and as intelligent as dogs. They're amazing pets. The only drawback is their short lifespan (2-3 years). :(

All rats, wild and pet, are actually cleaner than humans. Wild rats only have the stereotype of being dirty and disease ridden because they eat our leftovers and because they carried the FLEAS that carried the plague.

Rats are more surprising than you think. They are very good climbers. I dated a girl in college who had some pet rats, she complained that one of them would get out of the cage at night (by opening it himself, she gave up after trying about 5 different kinds of locks) and get into her bed and nibble her toes. It's weird, but easily possible.
