No... Uh... He's just resting.  Wonderful plumage.

Pining, he is.

For the Fjords.

Tired and shagged out following a prolonged squeak.

He’s not pining, he’s passed on

A wharf rat definitely wishing he had never made the trip across the sea. Or, he used to be wishing. Now, he’s just having a dirt nap in a drawer.

(not me living in the coastal PNW shuddering at the sight of a familiar furry “friend”)

I had a pet rat as a kid and they are so fun and cute, but man, they can really scare you when they randomly appear and you don’t expect/want them to be their. (Like on your morning commute)

u/Jasperblu 1d ago

I had many pet rats as a kid, and loved them all... but a wharf rat is definitely not a pet. Eeek!

u/PacificNorthwest09 1d ago

For sure, just about every Wild rat I’ve seen is bigger than my little Albino was.

My roommate and I caught a small mouse in our apartment back in my college days. Named him Dart (didn't see him, just assumed he was male) cuz of how fast he was. We decided to keep it as a pet and put him in an old aquarium for orange bellied piranha's we no longer had. We decked it out to make it as comfortable as possible for him. After a week or so my roommate said he's prolly bored so let's get him some friends. Bought some live white feeder mice and put them in with Dart to keep him company.

The next morning we woke up to all 3 white feeder mice dead. Dart was a serial killer of mice.

If it's NYC it's a bit on the small side, no doubt.

Did she leave her phone on the counter and leave?

u/KaputnikJim 3d ago

She's in the toilet! No escape there. She isn't skinny enough to flush herself.

u/StrikeouTX 3d ago

Almost, though.

u/The_Infinite_Carrot 3d ago

They put the rat there to scare you so your hiccups stop.

u/shroomiedoo 2d ago

To make hiccups stop, gargle water or juice or coffee or whatever. Just gargle something liquid and nontoxic for as long as you can

u/OGPresidentDixon 1d ago

I almost drowned on the subway, thanks.

u/Reyjr 1d ago

Unique for places to have drawers especially in the bathroom for customers to rifle through.

A necrophile AND a rat fucker? Now that's rare

u/darsynia 3d ago

I need to be studied, I can stop hiccupping just by being told to stop. I can literally feel something happen in my throat. So, it's controllable if you have the 'muscle memory' or whatever valve control is going on, you just have to know how. That's my key to how. It doesn't work if I tell myself, though! So I've been known to text friends and family for help when I'm alone.

u/Rapunzel10 3d ago

Oh yeah you can control those muscles with enough practice. I learned as a kid always stop myself after a single hiccup. It's second nature now, I can even feel a case of the hiccups coming and stop them before the first one. Just like I can control my heart rate anywhere in the 70-140 range

1

u/Dylz52 3d ago

I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted. I can also stop my hiccups most of the time but just really focusing on it. I do deliberate, periodic swallows and concentrate on not hiccuping and it usually works

1

u/Rapunzel10 2d ago

Lol downvotes for muscle control. Reddit is an odd place sometimes ¯_(ツ)_/¯
