Jeka Posted January 11, 2008 #4 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Ick, I assume the mice don't bite and my clothes and luggage won't have to be fumigated, but still ick!!:confused: Hope the flight wasn't to long. Hard to keep your feet off the ground for lengthy periods in an airplane seat. Not sure there will be sweet dreams tonight!!:( ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtgirl Posted January 11, 2008 #5 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Gee, thanks Carol. :p First it was videos of hotel rooms where glasses weren't washed properly, now there are mice running around in airplanes.:p We had mice in our first apartment. DH has a mental image of me standing naked on the side of the tub, screaming at a mouse running around on the floor of the bathroom.:o He loves to bring that one up around company.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgttami Posted January 11, 2008 #6 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Neither are pretty thoughts!! I recall a vacation 20 years ago when dating an old boyfriend who took me to his trailer in Maine and there were about 30 dead mice scattered about when we arrived at midnight. I freaked out!! He told me that I didn't know how to have a good time!! We've stayed in places in the Caribbean and the states that had bedbugs. BUT...You haven't lived until you wake up in bed with a big hairy scorpion!! It was in our house in St. John..a moment I will never forget!! I'll take bedbugs and mice any day!!

letsgocruz1 Posted January 11, 2008 #7 Share Posted January 11, 2008 OMG!! :eek: I have a true mouse phobia and go hysterical when I see one. A few years ago, my Grandmother passed so my Dad had to store some of her belongings in a building behind his house. Well, my sister and I decided to go thru it one day. I was pulling some stuff out of a box when a big ol' mouse ran up my arm. Plus, inside the box were little baby mice. I just about died right then and there. I was screaming, crying, shaking...it was horrible. It took me hours to calm down, and to this day, the experience still creeps me out. I, too, get teased about it.

abridalmaven Posted January 11, 2008 #10 Share Posted January 11, 2008 WORSE: Bedbugs!:D As a former girl scout I am prepared for that also.;) But to be honest I think the worse thing was when I was staying at a hotel in the Chelsea area of NYC for a conference . I woke up only to see roaches, now that is a BIG yuck.:eek: I know they do not bite, but who wants to get out of bed to put their feet in the ground.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted January 11, 2008 #11 Share Posted January 11, 2008 What's wrong with a cute little mouse? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coralc Posted January 11, 2008 #12 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Mice are easy. Roaches are nasty looking, and I wouldn't want them either. But bedbugs bite, and they are sneaky, insidious and hard to get rid of. Train cars are fumigated for roaches, public transit is fogged for fleas. Now they'll probably start putting little bait packs on airplanes for mice. That is really odd, that mice would get established on an airplane. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jungle Jane Posted January 11, 2008 #17 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Thanks a lot! Now I can't bear to put my feet down on the floor here at my computer desk!

KnuckleDragger Posted January 11, 2008 #18 Share Posted January 11, 2008 That's what the CDC score is: # of bed bugs per square inch. (Only counting the adult males, though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyRose Posted January 11, 2008 #21 Share Posted January 11, 2008 LOL! I'm a farm girl and so all the mice, snakes, bugs (EXCEPT BED BUGS!) don't bother me :) When I was at the dorm in collage we had a very bad mouse problem. At least 2-3 times a night I would hear a very loud shreek from somewhere in the dorm and about 30 seconds latter someone would be banging on my door yelling for me to go get the mouse out of their room :p Never did get much sleep but always got LOTS of gifts from gratefull collage mates ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Cruz Chic Posted January 11, 2008 #22 Share Posted January 11, 2008 What's wrong with a cute little mouse? :D I agree Alexis.....Mouse has been my nickname for over 40 years :) my husband gave it to me when we were engaged because I was always so quiet...(what happened since!!)
