A Norwegian woman was shocked as she sat on the toilet when a rat popped its head out between her legs.
Marit Graeter jumped off the loo seat in shock and the rat disappeared back down the plumbing.
The woman from Sandnes says she can't bear to use the downstairs toilet again. She used one upstairs but always checks in the bowl first.
Her water company advised her to pour boiling water down the toilet. The rat has not made an appearance since.
Marit told the Rogalands Avis newspaper: "It was such a disgusting experience that I still have trouble using the toilet on the ground floor. Luckily, I have another on the first."

So these rats navigate miles of sewer pipe and she doesn't think it can climb another 12 feet up to the upstairs bathroom? hehehehe

I'll bet the rat wasn't thrilled either.

What a wuss. Let her visit New York and go eyeball to eyeball with an alligator.

Did the rat come up from the plumbing, or did it come over the side of the loo? Curious minds want to know.

...get a snap trap or a glue board Forget the glue board -- they can just pull their way off of it, leaving fur and skin behind. Ugh! (Well, at least mice can, so I imagine a rat would have no problem escaping from the glue board.)
Peanut butter in a snap trap is great. My husband traps about 20 mice every Fall when they try to invade my house to escape the coming snow. 20 in the house and about 25 in the barn. And then he starts on the racoons. We have the process down to a science.

I've read about snakes doing this many times . . . Particularly, escaped Pythons and the like.

Is the first time she's had a "rat" between her legs?? That could be trouble ;-)
