    mice and spiders?

    I do it all the time now before slotting my bread in there.

    I read an article a few years ago where this woman got a funny smell while waiting on her toast!! It turned out a mouse got into her toaster over night!! :eek:

    So now, every morning I take a peek to make sure no spiders, flies or mice are in there!! :eek:

    I always fumigate the toaster before popping my bread in.

    You never know.

    best thing to do while the toaster is still on is too jab a knife in the toaster a couple times, remember to go good and deep

    Mice and spiders? In my toaster? Nope. Can't say that's a possibility that has ever occurred to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,594 ✭✭✭jaykay74

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36 greenet

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,933 ✭✭✭Logical Fallacy


    Cartoons have led me to believe that a mouse in a toaster can only be hilarious.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 937 ✭✭✭newbee22


    No, never in a million years would I have considered doing it! Now I'm terrified to check!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,389 ✭✭✭FTGFOP

    Ehhhh, you have seen a mouse before right?

    If it can fit in somebody elses toaster it could fit in mine!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,288 ✭✭✭✭Standard Toaster


    Put toast in your mouse traps.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 779 ✭✭✭papajimsmooth


    I found a dead mouse in the crumb tray of my toaster once, couldnt push the slider down the full way so I tried to fix it and seen the mouse. Dont eat toast very often so I dont know how long it was there

    Putting my friends cat in the microwave used to be one of my favorite pastimes. Unfortunately the cat died of Aids this year.

    true story

    It happened to my brothers girlfriend too. She tried putting the slider down and it wouldnt go, so she brought the toaster around to her dad to fix it and he found a mouse in it. :eek:

    You'd be surprised where a mouse can get.......I see mice (usually dead) in fax machines, printers & photocopiers regularly, even wrapped around the drum, where the tones goes!!!


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 27,753 Mod ✭✭✭✭Posy


    I have a cat, so my house is definitly mouse free. :)

    (and he's too fat to fit in the microwave, so no worries there..)

    Anyone else remember the case where that woman found a decomposed shrew in her white sliced?

    Of course, the obvious assumption was that it had got in there during the process. Not so. Turned out it had simply entered her kitchen, very much alive. Then burrowed into the bread and expired in the middle of it! :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,346 ✭✭✭borderlinemeath


    If you ever have a mouse in the house always check the crumb tray for droppings.

    We had a mouse last year who managed to evade traps for about 3 weeks. Opened the crumb tray and there was droppings in it from the mouse going in and eating the crumbs.

    I knew what you were gonna say by the thread title as I found a mouse in it before, was dead obviously.

    The bread didn't go down all the way anyways so didn't need to check first.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,844 ✭✭✭py2006


    Wow, so many people think I am 'completely feckin mad'


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy

    hahaha funny thread
    I remember one morning getting up for college at 6 i put down the lever thing on the toaster before putting bread in it which i normally dont do and after 20 seconds a mouse flew up and ran across the counter! I nearly had a feckin heart attack!
    To this day I put the lever down first to see if any mouse flies out haha


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,104 ✭✭✭moonflower


    I don't check every time I toast bread, but occasionally I do.

    Not found anything weird in the toaster yet though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,968 ✭✭✭Cork Lass


    Well thanks a million PY2006............now I'll be unable to enjoy my toast unless I've checked the toaster :eek:. What next, the kettle?

    I hope you bought a new toaster or at least cleaned that one out. :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 893 ✭✭✭danslevent


    I'm never going to be able to look at my toaster again the same. I almost don't want to look inside of it in case there is something in there and I will be traumatised forever, the sound of the "POP!" will give me panic attacks
