Today, I dreamed a rat crawled up from the toilet and attacked me. Now I'm afraid to even enter the bathroom. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I woke up and went into the bathroom and noticed a dark mass in the toilet. Thinking someone took a dump and didn't flush, I approached the toilet ready to dispose of it. That's when I noticed its whiskers and ears. It was a rat, and it was alive. FML
Today, after my house almost got broken into last week, when I heard some noises in the kitchen I went to investigate. I saw a huge rat run across my floor, and nearly peed myself thinking it was an intruder. FML
Today I opened the door for my cat and he brought in a rat with him. Now the rat is hiding in my house. FML
Today, I discovered the hard way that all the scare stories I'd heard about rats getting into pipes and finding their way into your toilet are, in fact, true. FML
Today, I discovered that the rancid stench in my bathroom was a decaying carcass of a mouse in my toilet tank. FML
Today, I was awoken at 1:30 a.m. by a strange noise, and something tugging on my hair. I opened my eyes, to find a very large rat sitting on my pillow, chewing my hair. FML

Today, I noticed my shower drain wasn't draining well. I cleaned it out, thinking it was just a rat's nest of hair. Wrong. It was an actual dead rat. FML
Today, I saw a roach on my toilet. I thought it would be funny to pee on it. It jumped out, which scared me; I hit my head on the wall and started bleeding, then I peed all over myself and the wall. FML
Today, I had a terrible nightmare involving zombies slashing and eating at my face. I woke up in terror and urine, and found the slashing was very real: it was my cat pawing my face for me to feed him. FML

I'm on the toilet right now and I hate you.

This is the exact reason I've invested so much in ToiletCats™. My toilets are rat-free, and the scratches are… mostly healing!

Rats won't crawl up a toilet that's being used on a regular basis. They will only do it if there is no water in the toilet and it's been sitting undisturbed for a long time, like when people go on extended vacations. Just keep the lid closed with a weight on top when you're not around.

Reminds me of that myth buster episode where there was a video demonstrating how a rat can actually get into your toilet bowl. Agile creatures, and very flexible. Also, you MUST check out how they swim, oh so very cute. None of my family members would warm up to the idea of a pet rat though.

Rats are very good pets! It's sad that your family won't let you get some. (By some, I mean minimum 2 as rats are highly social creatures) Oh and never mix them with mice. Rats sometimes eat mice.

Though I have never witnessed a rat, I have walked into a bathroom before and discovered a snake in the toilet.

You didn't have a dream, you had a nightmare

Don't worry, even if a rat did come out of the toilet it's unlikely to harm you. Rats aren't naturally aggressive to humans. Just don't try to pick 'em up! (I've handled wild rats and they usually just squirm. Or do nothing.)

You must have watched that National Geographic video about rats crawling out of toilets.

Never thought someone else had this dream O_O and we are even from the same country too. Quite a coincidence :)
