See How Easily a Rat Can Wriggle Up Your Toilet | National Geographic

Me: doesnt check toilet before sitting on it Rat: gets violently shat on

Watching this on the toilet is not a great experience.

Imagine swimming through tight, claustrophobic passages, underwater, only to finally make it to the surface and realise you've been swimming in a toilet.

This happened in a third floor apartment I was living in around 2005. It started with seeing turds and chewed plant leaves in my bathroom. Then one night on my way into the kitchen, walking past the bathroom I saw a large rat jump from the side of the bathtub into the toilet bowl and then disappear. I couldn't believe what I'd just witnessed. I set up a rat trap with peanut butter and kept the bathroom door closed. Within about a week, I opened that door to a large puddle of blood and a dead 12" long rat on the bathroom floor. I learned to take super fast deuces in the few months I was there before moving to a new place.

I could have lived my whole life not knowing this.

He won't survive my shit

Imagine pooping and a rat comes up crawling to you. Goosebumps.

Anyone who’s had a pet rat knows how smart they are. Not surprised they can figure something like this out.

I live in a Mexican household, ain’t no rat gonna survive what ever we flush down the toilet.

therefore mice should wash their hands before making Ratatouille

The scene with the rats swimming is adorable

The fact that rats can freak people out is creepy yes, but I AM impressed at how they're able to swim the way they do, as well as how they can fit through confined spaces. I never knew that their ribs were able to collapse due to them being being hinged to their spines, and this is just another interesting fact about rats in this world.

Rats swimming is the most hilarious thing I've ever seen

I've put a rat trap inside the toilet. My dad got castrated. It snapped his balls and now I will never have a brother.

This is amazing I never knew they could swim for that long!

New fear unlocked

Imagine flushing ur toilet right before lil homie was about to take a breath

Just imagine a rat coming out and sayin' - So you ate tacos last night.

Now I can never go to the toilet without being paranoid. Thanks a lot NatGeo

I've seen it happen. I was renting out a basement with a small toilet attached to it. I wasn't living there, just using the place as storage space. I used to put a brick on top the lid because I was afraid sth like that could happen and guess what? The rat ate through the plastic toilet lid!
