GAH!!

I actually have this fear--especially when in a toilet without lights on and/or a toilet in a tropical country. This story and the Snakes on a Plane (spoiler alert?) penis biting scene don't help matters.

That happened to a girl at my junior high. It didn't bite her, but a snake came up the toilet. Or was it a rat?

Catalina Vel-DuRay on July 16, 2013 at 4:39 PM

@2 I've had the same fear since I was a kid.

Frank Rizzo on July 16, 2013 at 4:43 PM

It is not that scary.. the snake wasn't poisonous. If it was a rattler, or a water moccasin, then it would be a plot device in a movie. (Snakes have been put in mailboxes as weapons.

I laughed. Then I told my wife and she laughed.

Wonder what kind of snake? Can't be too big if it's in a toilet. What kind of ridiculous toilet was this, anyway? Poor snake. Hope it was okay.

The snake should get tested, just to be sure.

@ 5 As someone who has a fear of snakes it kinda is, I don't think I can use the bathroom now.

Happened in "Snakes on a Plane". Real life imitating art.

Nice one @8

@8 you fucking douchebag. You think you are funny? You are pathetic.

Rowlf on July 16, 2013 at 6:31 PM

There is something so appropriate about snake bites on the penis.

Hanoumatoi on July 16, 2013 at 7:06 PM

Isn't this the first thing parents promise their children when they start toilet training? Liars, all of them!

delirian on July 16, 2013 at 7:09 PM

Toilet snakes are rare, but in Seattle, RATS in toilets are not! Seattle City utility has reported about one rat-in-toilet sighting per WEEK! So keep the lids down!

pat L on July 16, 2013 at 7:15 PM

I'm with @2. I didn't know about the rat thing @15 but you made me glad we already keep the lids down.

Probably just going to pee out back for a few days until I get myself settled about this.

PA Native on July 16, 2013 at 8:09 PM

Just logging in to confirm what @15 said.

I've had more than 1 rat in my Ballard toilet over the past 15 years. Not more than 1 at a time, but you know what I mean. I slam the lid down and flush many times and then they are gone. But yeah, turn the light on first m'kay?

derpyderpington on July 16, 2013 at 9:04 PM

@ 17 I know that freaky as hell but man that sounds inhumane, I guess I could try to capture it and give it to a shelter or something. But to each their own.

Why are rats a problem here?

Seattle14 on July 16, 2013 at 9:40 PM

gives new meaning to 'bit by the trouser snake'.

scary tyler moore on July 16, 2013 at 11:07 PM

My anaconda don't want none ...

Rob in Baltimore on July 17, 2013 at 6:20 AM

@18 - the rats have shelter. They shelter in the sewer pipe which leads into my house. That pipe, and the sewer main, are dry. Only the bowl has water in it. When I flush them back into the pipe, I am sending a confused rat, who somehow managed to get through the S trap in my toilet, back home.

But yeah, give me your number and I'll have you come rescue the fecal ferret next time he shows up.
