Today a dead stinkbug fell out of the washing machine as I was unloading it. I definitely screamed and flailed. This has never happened before and I dearly hope NEVER WILL AGAIN

I am telling you all this to spread the pain around and also to let you know to beware of washing machines. But you knew that already.

I once found a live frog in the toilet bowl. I re-homed it in the garden.

Oh my god! Did you just...reach in and grab it or something? I'm torn between pity for you and pity for the frog. I'm glad you got it out into the garden ok.

Frogs around there don't have many predators so it seemed unperturbed. I don't remember how I got it out but if it happened now I'd use an empty flowerpot from the garden (or a plastic food container from the recycling) to fish it out and transport it so I probably did that. There was no drama. I've also done drama-free bat removal from my dad's bedroom, lol. They don't have rabies over here so they're much less scary than in some places.

Ah, glad that it was drama-free! I think I'd have been paralyzed...I almost never see frogs and would have completely blanked on what to do, lol. I am not good at the critter handling bits.
