🙁

I have one drawer in my desk that I keep some munchies and various snack things in. Trail mix, pecans, instant oatmeal, ect. I also keep a box of some kind of sweet things - in this case I had one of those movie theater style candy boxes of Everlasting Gobstoppers.

Last Friday when I left the box probably had 20 or 30 left in there.

I opened my desk today and grabbed the box only to find it empty. Except for about 5 little mouse turds in the box.

Upon further inspection there were a number of other mouse droppings in the drawer too.

I feel so violated.

Exhibit A
Exhibit P(for poo)
 
It's a gift, eat them or the little guy will feel insulted. Given the weird diets of rats, I bet it'll be like a little salty gobstopper
 
When life leaves you mouse droppings, make mouse dropping pie . . . and lemonade, because you're really gonna' need some to wash down that pie. 😛

What is the suggested serving size of a mouse dropping pie? Collecting ingredients for that may be rather time intensive.
 
At least it didn't pop out of your air conditioner.

I sort of know how you feel - I saw a small rat or large mouse run across my kitchen floor the other night. I put down some rat poison and hopefully that will take care of it.

not to mention the fact that the gobstopper-to-mouse dropping conversion rate is pretty lousy. that would be one expensive pie...

A little goes a very long way. The crust is ultra important, however. It has to overpower the taste of the filling. But collecting ingredients should be a snap. Just buy another box of Gobstoppers! :laugh:

 
I don't get it. I had a box of jawbreakers sitting right next to a bag of trail mix with pineapple, raisins, peanuts, and coconut and they go for the box of rocks. They didn't touch the trail mix.

WTF does a mouse do with 30 gobstoppers? And how?

😕

You sure they didnt go for it? I dont think you would notice the droppings in the bag of rabbit food. 😉

maybe a coworker took your gobstoppers and left the mouse poop in your desk in an effort to frame the mice!

Visual inspection of the trail mix bag shows no signs of forcible entry. Unless mice have far surpassed my recognition of their physical abilities, I don't think they were able to undo & redo the ziplock seal on the top.

And now the guy in the next cube is wondering why I'm laughing. Thanks. 😛
