Today, I was carrying several bags of groceries up the stairs to my 3rd story apartment when I saw a giant rat climbing down the wall towards me. I screamed and dropped my groceries, which went over the rail and landed on the bottom floor, destroying them all. The rat? Just a big leaf. FML

Today, I was going out to buy some stuff from the store. As I was leaving, my mom warned me to tie my shoelaces; I told her not to worry about it. As I'm walking down the street, I see my crush walking towards me. As I get closer and say hi, I trip on my shoelaces and face-plant into her chest. FML

yeah YmostlikelyDI, it's not like history has any occurance of rats carrying contagious, lethal diseases which could be transferred through a bite. the Bubonic plague was transferred through fleas on rats, or the virus for Lymphocytic choriomeningitis could be hidden in a rats saliva or urine, and having rabies isn't that bad get a few shots or be come violent, attack anything that moves and die from dehydration. don't worry it was just a furry mammal
