A mouse popped out of my trash can!

So I was sitting in my living room enjoying a nice cold Sam Adams Winter Lager while watching TV. I finish the beer and put it in the small trash bin next to me (I'll sort it for recycling later). I continue to watch TV and I hear some noises from the trash can when it's quiet. I've got some wrappers from some Kashi TLC bars in there and I know they crinkle a little bit, and I figured the bottle was just settling amongst them.

I just finished watching ER (and TV for the night) so I turned the TV off and turned the lamp on that is next to me. The lamp is sitting on an end table right above the trash bin. As I lean over to take a closer look at what's going on, a mouse pops out and scurries over to the couch I just bought last weekend!

Mother f'er must have been living in there all this time! But, he shall not be alive for much longer :evil:

What kind of trash bin is this by the end table? I am imagining a big steel sidewalk type can from your post,... but that cannot be true,...

I also wonder about the Kashi bars,... why?

The lager is ok,,... but are you really going to recycle later or is that PC talk?

The mouse is just gathering food for his home elsewhere I am sure,... get a snake,.. that should take care of the mouse issue no matter where it goes!

That didn't take long^

But, it really did happen. I guess that's what I get for buying a couch from Big Lots.

I bought some drinking glasses there once. When I opened the box, there were these huge beetle things. One was dead and the other flew away. 2 weeks later people in the US started getting SARS. True story.

Did it sh@t itself when the A/C compressor turned on?

Just a small black trash can.

Kashi bars are tasty.

I recycle half the time, I just didn't want the recycling nazis to give their 2 cents about that.

Yeah, the couch!

I'm going to set up some sticky traps tomorrow when I get home from work. It has a little bit longer to live.

Well, he didn't specify. IDK if he wants a pic of the couch, trash can, or mouse.

Well, here's the mouse, still alive on the sticky trap:

Damn thing won't stop squeaking.

I hate sticky traps because I don't like causing prolonged suffering to any animal. Snap traps are just that much more humane IMO.

Pfft, I average a mouse caught every other day now that it's getting cold out. Had to brain one the other day that only had it's tail caught. Should have fed it to the cats instead...
