So i constantly have mice/rat on the brain. When you see them enough you start to worry if they are in your apartment and in your stuff.
Story:
The heat is on in my apartment building, although i'm not sure we really need it yet. I have one radiator in my living room and a VERY hot pipe in my bathroom (gives off enough heat it's a sauna in my bathroom) Anyhoo, all rads make their own noises, mine sounds like someone is bang with a hammer and messing around with a wrench in the metal mechanics of the thing. Thankfully it's not happening all the time because i'd probably rip out my hair (it's really loud!), but it's still scary enough that when it came on for the first time i thought there was a mouse/rat trapped in the inside of it trying to get out. You know, the heat turns on the thing starts cooking, it tries to get out.
Envision this, i'm standing on a chair the farthest point of my living room throwing water bottles, text books and thing with girth and killing power, trying to scare out this mouse/rat. Nothing happens, no silencing of it by me scaring it, so with all the experience i have with small rodents (sadly i have had enough to last a lifetime) i creep over to the rad (climb onto another chair) and bang back. At this point i realize that there is probably nothing trapped in there and this is what my rad will sound like. Ah yes...isn't this going to be a long and pleasant winter.
Now while lying in bed instead of thinking i have a mouse/rat in my apartment i'm thinking of other options
a) my neighbour busting through the wall and is hammering on the rad
b) someone (spiderman is the most plausible) has shimmied up the brick exterior of my building to my tenth floor apartment window and is banging on my rad
c)a clan of rodents has found rodent sized hammers and wrenches and are banging on my rad.
My vote is c because really my neighbour has better things to do than bang on my rad and Spidey is off protecting the city, or at least i hope so.
