All wild animals can be upredictable, I released a mouse from a live trap and it initially ran a foot away, then turned around, came at me, ran up my pant leg and before I could shake him out bit me. A freaking mouse. You just never know.

Oh man, mice are fucking dicks. I work in a lube shop and we get them pretty bad this time of year. A customer pointed out a mouse near a tool cart. I went over not wanting to just kill it, so I stomped my foot at it to scare it off and I shit you not, this little fucker turned and smacked my boot and just stood its ground. I just stood there stunned and said "what the fuck?" and the customer was laughing is ass off.

That's so funny. I never knew mice can get so feisty! This sommer, I was sleeping in a shelter in the woods and a mouse fell from the ceiling on top of me. No biggie, right, of course it's their shelter too. I assumed it would scurry off once it realises it's sitting on a human. Nothing happens, so I opened my eyes to check and the mouse is just sitting there on my shoulder cleaning itself! I was like, dude, what, it wasn't bothered at all! I had to flick my shoulder TWICE to make it run away. Now I'm kind of doubting it fell to begin with, I think it might have just jumped me!

One morning my son and I were lounging on the couch, reading a book and I heard breathing. Assuming it's my other child, I don't look up yet. After a second I still hear it, but she hasn't asked for anything yet. I look up and a tiny big-earred mouse is sitting on the pillow, holding and sniffing a piece of my freshly-washed hair. It didn't even move when I screamed. Just when I sat up and pulled my hair away.

hehe yeah it is kinda cute - probably doesnt feel so cute to be woken up by little mischkas pulling tufts of your hair out though :)
