I used to get really upset when my mum set up mousetraps to kill them.

hehe, i think you could be right there.

women don't like mice so they have an excuse to jump up a chair and scream. so Mr Bad Guy will come along and save them :sick:

edit: those aren't real mice, kathy

Yeeees, they eat up the cheese! Women who love cheese are not supposed to like them after all! :p


i do like mice

Hey Sleepy! Don't you like cheese?

[kathycf]

edit: those aren't real mice, kathy
Nooo, really? :p ;) I grew up on a farm, I don't mind mice in the slightest. I like spiders, too.


:lol:
Yeeees, they eat up the cheese! :p
Well, maybe so. :)

[SleepyWitch]

did you know there's a place in Cornwall called Mousehole?

unfortunately it's pronounced "Mouzel"




Hey Sleepy! Don't you like cheese?

yep I do :) but mice prefer mint chocolate to cheese! seriously :)
my best friend is called Mouse (nickname) and she loves mint chocolate.
she got herself a book about animals and guess what? it said mice like mint chocolate much better than cheese and if you go to the forest and put a bit of mint chocolate on the ground you'll attract lots of mice!

[kathycf]

Mice like the glue on the back of postage stamps too. The old kind, that you had to lick to get them to stick. I had mice in an old house that I lived in and they ate my stamps! I could tell because there were some left with little chew marks on them...plus some other "evidence" that a mouse had been around. Mice um..."go" a lot.

But being her name 'Mouse' wouldn't change the whole of her into a mouse! :p But I guess you are very right about mouse eating mint chocolate. Now it makes me dislike the mice even more! They eat our chocolates/cheese/other delicious stuff without asking us, and sometimes leave nothing for us! :p You see why women do not like mice?

[tulysg1982]

Why do man like mice? and bother about whether woman like mice or not?:confused: :argue:

hurumpf, why did I spell that first mint chocolate with a d? (edited it :) )
maybe it was a mouse that jumped on my keyboard and pressed the wrong key?

Another reason for not liking mice. They jump around on the key-boards, play with keys, write things which the person who owns the keyboard would have never dared to write! These mice - they are the real conspirers, the real problem, the ones who manage to get even the most innocent of the people banned! How about an anti-mice society? :p

Oh, they leave something behind all right....but it sure isn't very pleasant.:lol: I think mice are cute, but no denying they are dirty little things.


But...still...it would be hard to use my cursor in my computer if it wasn't for my "mouse". Some kind of conspiracy going on, I reckon.

Okay, it's even worse. What they leaves makes our rooms less hygienic! :p

Yes, that's a good type of mice but most of the mice are not that kind and considerate, believe me. :p

[SleepyWitch]

hahahha, I've just asked my heroic boyfriend what he'd do if a mouse was to walk into our kitchen, sit on the sink, eat his chocolate and grin at him.

he said he'd call pest control and ask them what to do :D
now I've got him thinking up horror scenarios :) he says "but how would it come up here?"(on the fourth floor) "it would have to crawl up through the piping"

poor boyfriend :D

[Lote-Tree]

[motherhubbard]

I have a terrible fear of mice that made 1984 even more horrifying. I can’t get over it. They are so cute in a cartoon or story book, but in real life I just want to leave all of my possessions and move away any time I think there might be a mouse. My husband finally got a lovely cat that keeps them at bay.

[Weisinheimer]

We had mice once, it was pretty gross. Droppings everywhere!

[Taliesin]

You provoked us!
Now we would ask the famous question:
How many of us can honestly say that at one time or another he hasn't felt sexually attracted to mice? (We know we have.)





Well, we psychiatrists have found that over 8% of the population will always be mice, I mean, after all, there's something of the mouse in all of us. I mean, how many of us can honestly say that at one time or another he hasn't felt sexually attracted to mice? I know I have. I mean, most normal adolescents go through a stage of squeaking two or three times a day. Some youngsters on the other hand, are attracted to it by its very illegality. It's like murder - make a thing illegal and it acquires a mystique. Look at arson - I mean, how many of us can honestly say that at one time or another he hasn't set fire to some great public building? I know I have. The only way to bring the crime figures down is to reduce the number of offences - get it out in the open - I know I have.

indeed! :thumbs_up

back to mice the animal - can't say I mind them wehre they are expected - outdoors, garage, cages, but when you wake up in the morning, walk to the kitchen still asleep to make coffee...and find a mous stuck in your coffee pot, you get mad, maybe even a little grossed out, but then as yoda said...this lead to suffering... eventually you commit mass amounts of resources to all out technological warfare against the vermin! and from then on, you know that they are always plotting, never resting, regardless of where they are...

...so yeah, had the mice respected the dmz, I would not have a problem with them...before, if they were in the house I would'nt mind so much...but mouse + my coffee = war.

I like mice. What's not to like? I like rats too. They're cute. But I'm scared of spiders.

[Turk]

Why do women not like mice men?

Researchs showed women "scared" of mouse when men are around. Normally they don't overreact when they see a mouse.

ALRIGHT!!! I've been waiting for an appropriate moment to tell this story for a long time!

I had moved in with my partner a mere 2 or 3 months prior to the following events. First, you should know that he's the sweetest kindest gentlest giant I've ever met. He's a 6 foot 6 inch tall barrel chested behemoth that will cause a 20 car smash-up on the highway by jamming on the brakes rather than run over the critter (squirrel, chipmunk, 'possum, whatever) that dashes in front of his car. I've seen him capture spiders, flies, moths, etc. in the house and release them unharmed outside. The only thing I've ever seen him kill are mosquitoes.

Anyway, one night, the three of us (him, me & the dog) are all sound asleep (au naturel) under the covers in one big pile in the center of our queen sized (how appropriate) bed. Around 3am he feels a tickle on the back of his leg. It's not me or the dog.... we're both on the other side of him... he turns on the light and peels back the covers to find a little black field-mouse settling in for a nap.

This is where the shrieking begins.

Some of you may know from my previous posts that I DO NOT wake up well.
It takes a lot of noise to rouse me and I NEVER wake up in a good mood.

3am. Suddenly, very bright lights... the whole bed is shaking... I hear screaming... "AAAAAAAGH! A MOUSE! WAKE UP! A MOUSE! IT WAS IN THE BED WITH US! AAAAAAAGH! WHERE DID IT GO?! A MOUSE! WAKE THE #%@* UP!"
My eyes pry themselves open to see a very large, very naked man standing up, hopping around on the bed, cupping his genitals as if this mouse were a Doberman trained to attack the most vulnerable parts of an intruder.

I couldn't help but laugh. I looked at the dog, she gave me that look that says "I am SO outta here" and proceeded to go to the guest-room for some peace & quiet.

I asked, "Is the mouse still in the bed?"
"No, it ran off when I screamed."
"Did you see where it went?"
"No."
"Then come back to bed and get some sleep.... I'll get some traps in the morning."
"No way! I am not sleeping in those mouse-dirtied sheets"
"O.K., If we change the sheets, will you come back to bed?"
"Yes, but I'll never get back to sleep."

So we change the sheets and go back to bed (the dog never rejoins us). In the morning I go out and buy some mouse traps, the old-fashioned snap kind.
Over the course of the next week we find that our mouse is a genius. It manages to eat all of the bait without setting off a single trap. So, I go out and buy different traps, the glue kind. Still, the mouse eludes capture... the same, however, cannot be said of the dog. On several occasions the dog came limping into the room with a glue-trap stuck to one paw or another (on one occasion she managed to get one stuck to the side of her face).

About 6 weeks go by, filled with a variety of traps, mouse-raided breakfast cereal, occasional sightings, LOTS of mouse-proofing, and no results. We 3 are enjoying a quiet night on the couch in front of a rented movie, when my partner yells "There he goes!! Into the guest bedroom! HA HA! We've got him now, I sealed up every crack and crevice in that room with that expanding foam sealant stuff.... he's trapped!! C'mon, the hunt is ON!"

Never go mouse-hunting with a man that is afraid of mice. Despite the fact that he is 6'6", armed with a broom and wearing size 16 combat boots; and the mouse is MAYBE 4 inches long; he cringes away every time the mouse scurries in his direction. After nearly an hour of chasing the mouse (long since named Nicodemus) around the room I am finally able to toss a towel over it and capture it. Holding it up by it's tail I realize that little Nicodemus is ADORABLE! He's got a nice silky coat, the cutest little nose, twitchy little whiskers and those inky black little eyes are staring directly into my soul.

I say, "Can we keep him?"
"NO! I want that hateful, bubonic-plague carrying, cereal stealing, trap evading @$#%^$%##^&*(%^%#^*& DEAD!!"
"Here... go take him out and kill him, then..."
"Are you crazy!?! I'm not going to touch that thing!"
"Guess I'm the killer in this family then, eh?"
"Yes you are, now get to it!"

So, I took Nicodemus outside walked away from the house for about a mile and set him free.

When I got back the questions began.
"Did you do it?"
"Yes" (a little white lie)
"Is it dead?"
"Yes, dear" (another lie.... I'm going to hell)
"Did it die a slow painful death?"
"NO! What kind of monster do you think I am?"
"Good, that was the right answer"

The very next day he presented me with a little black mouse figurine as a memento of our uninvited house-guest. To this day the ceramic Nicodemus sits on my bed-side table.

[andave_ya]

What a story! But I don't like mice. Not to start screaming, but I don't like mice.

:lol: :lol: That is a great story. Especially the part about the dog.

[Stanislaw]

:D :thumbs_up

awesome story!

[SleepyWitch]

wuuuaahhahhhaha :lol:
what a story!

hey, when I still lived with my parents, we had a genius mouse, too.
my mum set some traditional snap traps but it ate the food out of them, just like your Nicodemus.
then my dad got one of those wire cage thingies. it was shaped like an igloo and had an opening on top, so the mouse had to crawl head-first into a kind of tube of parallel wires. this tube narrowed down towards the inside of the igloo, so the mouse should get stuck and not be albe to crawl out backwards.
but he managed somehow! he stole the food from that contraption three nights in a row.
http://wyeriverantiques.tripod.com/moustrap2.JPG

so my dad put an empty wine bottle with some cheese in it flat on the floor and propped the upper end up with a wedge of wood. so once the beasty was inside, it would slide down the inside of the bottle and would have a hard time trying to climb out again... well, you can guess how well that worked.

[kratsayra]

my boyfriend is absolutely terrified of mice (and I see that some others here have male significant others who don't like mice too :) )

so, it's definitely all about me saving him rather than the other way around, at least where mice (and other small animals, whether flying or scurrying) are concerned.

[dramasnot6]

I love mice! I have always wanted a pet mouse.

Who could resist?

[RobinHood3000]

Bibliophile, that was one of the most hysterical things I've ever read. I'm sure Nicodemus is proud of you - or, barring him, some hungry bird of prey (for giving him hope).

[Moira]

Great story Biblio:lol: :lol: ,

Mice are nice, rats :eek: ... now that's a different issue!!!!!!!!!

[BibliophileTRJ]

Andave_Ya, Virgil, Stanislaw, SleepyWitch, RobinHood, Papayahed, Dramasnot, Moira and everyone else that has ever sent me kudos.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!

The supportive positive feedback that flows freely from this forum always brightens my day. (that sentence should be in the tongue-twister thread)
I can't begin to tell you how much it means to me that you'd all take the time to let me know you've enjoyed my writings. Coming from this group those are HUGE compliments.... I've seen some harsh criticisms directed at some of the most talented writers throughout history on this site.... the fact that my scribblings are met with approval is thrilling.

My thanks, again, to one & all.

[Nightshade]

Oh biblio that was the the funniesy thing Ive heard this month.
Sleepy tell the boyfriend to ut a bucket of water on top of the toilet lid whenever the toilet is not in use, then they cant climb up.

[Pensive]

Haha, that's a funny story Bibliophile. Made me laugh at the time when I was feeling I couldn't laugh.

Your bf doesnt need to worry too much about mice coming up the piping (rats however are a slightly different matter.) I think most rodents would give up trying to get through the U-Bend (if they even make it that far.

Oh My! I laughed way too hard reading this. Just what I needed.

I'm not afraid of mice, but I'm pretty squeamish about spiders. They're fine outside the house, but they invade every spring and fall here. It is too cold at night so the come in the house. The worst part is that the ones we get are about the size of a half dollar and poisonous.

[Nightshade]

THats something Ive never understood, mice are realtivley tame compared to rats...but why on earth is it only ratsand not mice that come up through the toilet.

yep, I know.. but we're talking about a guy who used to think that mommy duck and daddy duck were two different species of bird until I taught him otherwise. also, he'd never seen a duckling in his 26 years before I showed him some in the park.... :D just to give you an impression of his knowledge of animals
thanks anyway :)

i see.. well there are no mice in our flat and I'm sure they won't climb up :)
i just asked him what he would do to tease him. I knew he'd start to worry about the little creatures and would come up with something funny :D

[papayahed]

In my old neighborhood we used to have rats. My dog would catch them in our backyard, one time I counted 5 dead rats back there. blech...

At work we had Mice, one day I was just walking along and a mouse appeared around the corner. He scared me, I scared him and we both ran in the opposite direction. I think he had an eye patch....and a tattoo.

I don't like street rats either :( but my brother's got an albino pet rat called Kurt-the-Dog. he's really cute and very clean

[Nightshade]

heh when I was little ( somewhere between 4-6) I had this reucurring nightmare about falling into the toilet and meeting poo coloured devils. I was something to do with a cartoon that was an adaption of some classic or other (I know this because the style of the drawring was of a series of 2 hour cartoons that were dramtisation of classics lots of dickens moby dick and a few others) anyway all I rember was this guy fell down a hole an ended up in hell and all the devils that were brown. It got so bad that I was actually afraid to go to the toilet on somedays. I rember when I first discover rats came up through the toilets when I was 11 or 12 the first thought that flashed through my brain was " Ahhh what if one decides to pop up while Im on the toilet and pushes me in". Completly irrational but it was the first thought that popped into my head.

I wonder if that cartoon was supposed to be Dante's seven circles of hell there were all sorts of nasty tortures going on.

RE OP maybe we have a shared memory of the pied pier? all those ids lost because of mice.
:D
