I just carried a mouse out the backdoor.

eMMI

my hands are shaking. lol. a customer was just walking out and he said that there was a mouse on our floor. first I thought it was some lame joke but no, there it was. :eek:

not dead, still breathing but I scared witless I think. :( if the bossman would've been here he probably would've dropped something heavy on the poor thing. but I put on some gloves (the kind you use when cleaning up or washing dishes) and picked it up. well, after a tiny chase that is.

it was so weird. the mouse was soooo tiny and I was scared I would kill it. :eek: it took it out the backdoor cause there's a small patch of forest there and a smaller chance of the mouse wandering back in here.

one of the strangest moments of my life.


I don't know why I made this thread.. just had to tell someone.

anyone have any similar experiences?

A few years ago a blackbird fell down my chimney and was trapped behind the fire. I could hear the poor thing flapping around and screeching in there.

After a while, my ex managed to get the fire off the wall and it flew into the living room. I don't know who was more scared, me or it lol.

My ex managed to shoo it out of the back door with the use of a tea towel while I cowered in the chair, terrified that it was going to fly into my face, or my hair It sat in the garden for a while and then flew off. I still can't believe how scared I was of this bird :(

well.. that's nothing compared to.. one summer, when I was still living at home, we got a lot of butterflies flying into our kitchen. no clue as to why.

and I was terrified of them. absolutely terrified. :eek: I had to go to another room when one flew in, I was so scared they'd get tangled in my hair and die there or something.

I mean, I love butterflies. they're beautiful and if one lands on you it's good luck and all. but that's strictly outdoors for me apparently.

I hate things flying around me too. Or crawling. I'm not scared of spiders or anything, if they're on the wall or ceiling, they can stay there...but if they're on the floor I can't rest. I just hate the thought that they might crawl over my feet

yup. I absolutely hate spiders. I know there must be some in my flat all the time and that's fine as long as I can't see them. but if one crosses the floor or something, all bets are off. haha.

also, I hate it when I see a spider, say on the wall; I look away and when I look back it's not there anymore. :eek:

He'll be okay, though you may need to keep the next mouse you find, for his dinner...well his appetiser anyway.

eeugh, rats. Stinky, filthy, disease ridden rats! Yes, a lion would prolly eat those suckers I reckon.

Good for you for not killing it.
A couple of years ago we had a mouse hiding in our kitchen...my husband went to the bathroom in the middle of the night once, closed the door behind him and realized that the mouse was in there once he turned on the light! He grabbed a cup from off the sink and put it over the mouse, slid a piece of paper under the cup and took the mouse outside and let it go. I don't think I would have been able to do that without freaking out!

yeah, rats. some years ago the bossman thought there was a mouse sneaking about here and stuff. well, they set up traps and that shite and one day found a massive rat dead in the backroom. :eek:

I definitely would not have had it in me to kill it.

haha. the cup-thing is what I usually do with spiders. and beetles cause I can't stand the crunchy sound. :eek:

So it was so tiny that you thought you were going to kill it just by picking it up?
That doesn't sound too scary:p... seems like you had an encounter with one of them cute mice. Did it look like this?
