Last time I used glue traps...I found a chewed off foot. That shite ain't no myth. frickers are hardcore.

True story. Worked with this guy who had a terrible mouse problem. Guy was strange, not very clean. I imagine his house was a haven for mice and roaches. Anyhow, he’d actually ride his bike to work, and one day I noticed after he locked his bike up that he pulled some stuff out of his backpack and sat on the ground. I watched him through my window and couldn’t figure out what the hell he was doing.

I grabbed another guy in the office, and we walked out to see what he was doing. Dude had a mouse in a glue trap and was washing it with baby oil to break up the glue - so he could release the mouse outside the damned office!

My buddy said, “Man, you’re crazy, just let the little bastard die!”

Guy stood up with a look I’d never seen before or since. He said, “This little mouse didn’t do anything wrong! He was just looking for some food. I don’t want him in my house, but I’m not going to kill him for following his instinct! There are some of you I’d rather see cut off at the knees before I’d want this mouse dead!”

Scared the SHITE out of us both. Fella ended up getting canned not long after for threatening another co-worker simply because he got a promotion both had applied for.

I know, CSB, TLDR, yada yada yada
