Today, I found a mouse nest. In my glovebox. Made out of the $450 in rent money I was going to give my roommate that I had stored in there earlier for safe keeping. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was cleaning my room when I found a nice surprise from my cat. While I was on vacation, she killed a mouse. By the time I found it, there were maggots crawling in my carpet. FML
Today, I found out that I have mice because my landlady got rid of the community cats that were keeping them outside, and apparently my cats aren't taking care of them. I found out when I turned on my oven and my apartment was filled with an awful smell that turned out to be burning mouse crap. FML
Today, my roomate took the toilet paper out of my bathroom. I went into his room to look for it, only to find a large wad of it balled up near his laptop and mouse. FML
Today, after living in my new apartment for barely three weeks, I found mice living under my dishwasher. When I brought it up to the managers, they said I'd have to pay for an exterminator myself since they weren't there when they cleaned. FML
Today, I found out that the mysterious smell from under my bed was my cats collection of dead mice. FML
Today, while vacuuming my car, I discovered a hole in the floor under one of the seats. Unable to figure out where it came from, I took it to a professional, who informed me that a family of rats has been making my car their home for the last several months. How lovely. FML
Today, I found a mouse stuck in a glue trap at work. I had to take it home to get it off with oil, and then I released it outside. Twenty minutes later, the cat returned it to me, dead. After that, the dogs dug it up where I buried it. Sorry, mouse. 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 went to a store to buy some noodles, but they were out, so I left empty handed. When I left, the store the alarm went off so I was called back in, and they searched my bag. They didn't find any stolen goods. They did find a dead mouse my cat must have left for me, though. FML
Today, I set a trap to catch a mouse that ran across my foot. Not only did the trap shut on my finger twice, but I watched the mouse run over the trap without it snapping shut. I guess I have a new roommate. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You decided to keep your money in the glove box in your car long enough for it to be made into a nest instead of giving it to your roomie as soon as you get it? Were you having a fight with your wallet??

Anywhere in a car is a terribly bad place to store money of any kind. Well, of any kind that you want to keep. As sadly learned, if it doesn't get stolen, it gets 'used'. Sorry, but YDI.

I think the mouse could have made the nest overnight, it doesn't mean it had to have been sitting there for a long time

Regardless, storing money in a glovebox is really not a smart thing to do

the fact that your car was dirty enough and the money was left in your car long enough is why this is deserved

Bring it to the bank.

Yes, because your glovebox is definitely the safest place to keep money you REALLY need.

So did your roommate fall for that story or what?

Take him to court & have him evicted. Make him pay double droppings for all the money used... only seems fair.

I don't see why others are so confused about this post. A glovebox is the most logical place to store your money short-term. I mean keeping it on your person is ridiculous. You could forget it's your rent, and accidentally use it to buy an Xbox One, and then neither you, nor the mice, will have a place to sleep.

Have you heard abut banks?

Or a safe, even. They sell nice little fireproof safe boxes for about $50

First of all, why would someone buy an Xbox One? Second of all, bank accounts exist. Plus if you don't plan on using the money for a long while, you can put it into an investment plan that will let you take out more than you put in at the end.

I'm not going to answer everyone who comments on this, venting their "You're stupid, OP should be doing this" nonsense, so I'm going to say this once, and once only... I was being facetious. How is it so hard to see that in what I wrote?

I’m impressed the mice were able to find such an expensive home in this economy

Why do you have mice in your car..? And are they dead now?
