I was just faced with a situation I never had to deal with. Some people on IRC just gave me some of their own input which got me thinking... how would different people deal with this situation?

Pretend you are me. You are in your apartment eating dinner. All the sudden, you hear strange noises coming from the sink. Your heart sinks into your stomach. You slowly walk over and suddenly see the shadowy outline of something alive moving around (but your glasses aren't on or you are too far away so you can't make it out). You get closer and realize that it's a... is that a mouse? A rat? Dunno, I'm no expert on them. Fuck. The mouse appears to be stuck in the sink and can't get back out now. What do you do?

I will post what happened next in a little while after you've had time to think about it an respond.

I'm sure for some people this is going to be: "Oh that happens to me on a weekly basis, no big deal"

...and for others, like me, you are thinking "OH GOD"

I would put on gloves, release it / take it out from the sink and wrap it in a towel / put it in a box, then go outside and release it =)

Probably find the closest thing to wrap my hands with and pull it out of the sink. Don't want it to bite me or anything. Then I'd let it go outside

I'm not sure what qualifies as heavy gloves, but I wasn't to keen on the idea of handling it, even with gloves.

I took a pot, put it into the sink with the mouse, and threw a piece of cheese into the pot (LOL). When the mouse went into the pot I put a lid on it, then put a weight on top of the lid.

I went to get some work gloves just in case, and then removed the weight from the lid. I quickly lifted up the pot with two hands (holding the top shut) and walked it outside. I launched the mouse about 3-4 meters through the air away from the house lol

Well I'm not being 100% honest... the first thing I did was get kinda upset, then grab my phone and call my dad (he always has good advice in stressful moments). My mom picked up and I was like "hi Mom, can you put dad on?" She was like "why, what do you need?" And I was like "PUT DAD ON." XD

(my mom would have probably freaked out if I even mentioned there was a mouse)

This happened to me once. I started to make sudden movements so the mouse would panic and try to climb the sink for my entertainment. When I got bored of that I got a light bulb box, opened it, threw it in the sink and scared the mouse again. He entered the box, I took it and released the mouse outside.

Haha I have to admit while I was waiting for the mouse to enter the pot I scared it a few times to get back at it XD

Toyed with the idea of killing it but decided not to. A, how the fuck would I do that. B, would feel bad.

yeh i think its terrible when ppl kill mice and spiders and such.

its fine to kill pests that dont fit in the food chain and such but mice are no problem we ruined the home they were living in and spiders help kill bugs so thats dumb as well.

Do you have any specific suggestions? I took down the picture I had up on the walls of hot naked female mice.

I guess, just keep the place clean? Should I get mousetraps as a "just in case"?

Oh wow, I really misread this. When you said the mouse got stuck in the sink, I thought you meant it got stuck in the drain part of the sink. I was wondering how the hell you'd get it out of there, haha.

I'd probably find some heavy/thick gloves and a box to stick it in. I personally wouldn't use a pot, because you cook food in it, lol. After I was done, I'd throw out the box, and maybe the gloves.

Make sure you wash the pot well before you use it again. :p

(I'm also so glad Alberta doesn't have any rats O.o)

My first thought was I would probably turn on the garbage disposal. Then I realized that I'm not a psychopath, so I was like ... no... no.

I don't know. I might call someone about it. I don't think I would have the guts to put gloves on and reach down in there to get it. Maybe I have a phobia of rodents idk. Was it way down in the sink or just in the basin?
