When walking across your living room late at night would you rather step on

[NightWatcher]

something sharp or something wet?


It's pitch black dark, you may or may not have pets in the room, but are going to get a drink of water.

Other: means something else unpleasant, not preferable.

Sick dog, YUCK!

[kedrys]

2. You beat me to it LOL

Although at my house, it's either warm cat hork or, if I'm lucky, cold cat hork.

[MuseRider]

7. LOL

made me laugh out loud. I could not agree more.

16. Never Heard Of Hork, But Yeah..Hork

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. An excellent example of onomatopoeia.

When cats puke they go hork, hork, hork.

3. My son loves Legos and he's always building....

Invariably when I try to maneuver around the house at night, after everyone is in bed, I'll step on one of those stray pieces...the level of pain and the sheer volume of obscenities is hard to fathom!

4. M----- f------ g-- d----m----- F---!!!!

8. Word for word.

5. I've done wet and squishy. Next day we advertised for a new home for an unexpected puppy!

Way back in 1980, our shepherd had one puppy - we just had our first daughter. house was in chaos - me in grad school, my wife a nurse. puppy escaped the kitchen, I got up to get our daughter to bring to my wife for feeding - stepped in a big squishy pile.

We found our little unexpected puppy a nice new home in the coming days!

6. The bane of my existence. You left out the

Combo el Grande, experienced on the same trip through the living room.

9. Wet and squishy is a frequent occurrence if you have cats.

But I can't decide whether warm, wet and squishy is worse than cold, wet and squishy.

The Cold Cat Vomit Blues:

I woke up after midnight and put my feet down on the floor.
Well, I woke up after midnight, put my feet down on the floor.
It's dark, I can't see nothin,' stepped right out that bedroom door.

I'm walkin' to the bathroom, got no slippers on my feet.
I'm walkin' to the bathroom, got no slippers on my feet.
So I'm walkin' kinda careful, not sure what I'm gonna meet.

So I put my left foot down, felt a funny somethin' there.
Put my left foot down, yeah, felt a funny something there.
Oh yeah, that cold cat vomit, there it was right on my stair.

When I get up after midnight, now I'm gonna wear my shoes.
When I get up after midnight, sure I'm gonna wear my shoes.
You step in puke at midnight, you get those Cold Cat Vomit Blues.

20. I hate it when they back up while barfing, and make it the length of a human foot

10. My (rather, my daughter's) experience

will beat everyone's here.

I had a halloween party for the going-on-tween age kids.

The house was extra clean as usual for a party. I had one of those round top decorator tables in the corner between 2 love seats. I was able to vacuum just under the edge of the floor length topper without lifting it up so I seldom actually looked under it when I cleaned.

Well, the room was crowded and dark with only some dim scary light from the adjoining rooms. My daughter was kind of sqeezed back into the corner of the room close to that table so when she stepped down her foot landed under it on something wet and squishy and bigger than her foot.

It was a DEAD RAT!!! Swear. The real thing. Not a decoration.

We weren't aware at the time but the woman who owned the attached unit next to us was a hoarder.

We had been battling rats for I don't know how long at that point but we couldn't seem to get rid of them. I had even called the city in and had their help but still they persisted.

My poor little girl. She found the only dead one. Ew ew ew.

[Thor_MN]

11. Is the neck of a racist asshat an option?

[Control-Z]

12. Huh?

I'm not really sure I want to know but tell me anyway. Please.

[Thor_MN]

13. Hit reply on your post instead of the OP by mistake.

If I'm going to step on something wet and squishy in the dark, my preference would be the neck of a racist asshat...

[Control-Z]

14. Got it.

Lol.

[PufPuf23]

15. I had a simlar experience but not as gross as your daughter several years ago.

I woke up in the middle of the night and had to pee.

I rolled and stepped out of the bed and my foot landed on a mouse.

The now dead mouse was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Grossed me out but not as bad as a large dead rat.

[Control-Z]

18. Ugh. That's pretty disgusting.

I think what made hers really bad was that it had been there long enough to have started decomposing.

But I'll tell you, without the rat experience to compare, a dead mouse would have been equally horrifying to me.

I'm sorry that happened to you.

[PufPuf23]

21. Rat is much bigger and already dead and rotting.

The cute and clean live mouse compared to a huge dead rat is much less disgusting but disgusting in a lesser way.

The mouse was alive until stepped on by my foot. The mouse didn't even have time for surprise.

19. I'd prefer wet and squishy to something sharp/painful

I have cats, you see, and they upchuck on a somewhat regular basis

22. If you have cats you need one of these:
