Check your toilets before you shit

Pssh, who needs toilets? I'll just shit in the yard.

[Bloody_Tofu]

On one hand... gah!...

On the other.. Nature is pretty fricking cool. Scary but wow talk about survival evolution.

Also listening to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcorLZ_2qA8&list=PLuBOIUFMZbc1zRdK_HEeIcHdrVep8Mh1Y&index=25 while i watched the video. it was strangely appropriate.

Rats and mice don't come around houses where ferrets are kept. I'm just saying.

[A.P.O.N.I.]

This, too: if a rats ends up in your toilet bowl, then you are both having a bad day.

I may be over posting, but the little swimming rats are adorable. Although, the outboard motor noises aren't quite necessary.

"Rats have incredible stamina. They can tread water for up to 3 days straight."

Somebody somewhere has done this experiment.

That number is an average. That's what is scary.

RAts are highly adaptable little bastards aren't they? Jaysus.

Also i just figured out the plot twist of your story. The rats were innoccent the whole time. The Gerbils were the ones behind it!!!!

Yikes. Now that is terrifying stamina.

4443104 Nope, it's the lemmings, after all, they want to die anyway, why not for the (evil) cause.

I will see your rat and raise you a spider:

Can we talk about how ridiculously silly the dreaded plague bearers look while treading water?

[King Kenya]

Rats nothing, where I live I check the toilet for monitor lizards and puff adders. One of my colleagues has had the former, and I've had the latter. Nothing came of either, as we both checked for scorpions under the seat and thus saw the reptilian intruders.

Mother Nature likes her dice loaded, and preferably covered in spikes that cause your hands to turn black and fall off.

When I was a kid, we had to check for scorpions everywhere. In our blankets, clothing, shoes, socks, everywhere. I'd wake up sometimes to tarantulas crawling over my face. The chuckwalla lizards were neat, but the gila monsters were bastards and they would chase you. I wish I knew why gila monsters were so mean.

In other places that I lived though, the rat was the real horrorshow. I've seen some shit, mang. I've lived in places where the toilet lid had locking latches to keep the rats trapped inside and you double checked them before bed. **Shudder**

I was taking a shower once and something felt off on my foot. Looked down and there was a decent sized cockroach on my foot. Fortunately, roaches do not cause me to flail around. But it was seriously gross and, after I'd washed it back down the drain, I must have rewashed my foot a half a dozen times. That is still better than finding a rat or giant spider in the toilet.

I cannot say I have ever had that particular misfortune. With spiders (or rats) that is. Now house centipedes on the other hand...

Not too many things like looking to your side while taking a shower and seeing two of the Lovecrafitan horrors little critters skitter up the inside of the shower curtain...and then looking up and seeing their mate staring at you from the shower head.

You start to question whether you are in a slap-stick comedy horror version of The Truman Show when you realise that those three centipedes were just distracting you from the fourth that was scurrying around on the other side of the loofah you had just raised to your face.

...

Although by the looks of it, I would bet you and 4443376 have an absolute metric f-tonne of stories of scary skittering species appearing in surprising spots.

Just the typical African fare, green mambas in bushes, puff adders on paths, red Cobras in rocks, and in one particularly memorable incident, buffalo round the outside bogs.

All those snakes... any of them good to eat?

I spent most of my childhood chasing after rattlesnakes and sidewinders so I could catch them for dinner. There was food everywhere, but if you wanted to eat, you had to catch it.

Not in my book, I love and adore snakes of all varieties, they're my favourite animals, I used to have pet wolf snakes, Tristan and Isolde. However, I know some tribesmen think puff adder meat wards off malaria. Buffalo on the other hand is very tasty. Not that I eat wild buffalo, just the farmed variety. No legalised hunting in Kenya anymore.

I respect and admire snakes, but I'm not above eating them. I blame my upbringing.

[Malozi]

Way ahead of ya. Though the worst I've got to worry about are brown recluse spiders in the summer and spring. All around the house.

[Miss Appolonia]

And that's why we have to use not-water toilets again. This week, I heard on the radio that they're developing toilets for the production of terra preta - the black soil made by south american natives, though they said the celts had it too.

great now im scared of that now!
