we had a bat in the house once,,,damn thing was quite swift im chasing it around the house with a tennis racket,,,and finally smashed it a good one in the kitchen.... had the doors and windows open,,,but it wouldn't fly out
i was trying to "trap" it against the ceiling them put it in a towel and gently put it outside to fly away..
well that didn't work,,,it noticed that if it came for my head,,i would back away
so his last fly around the kitchen,,,he starts for my head and now starts making these gawd awful noises,,,,so i panic'd and swung at him,,,smashed him into the wall and he slid down,,,,deader than a rock
i felt bad for that bat,,,,,but that bat wasn't as unfortunate as the cat in the snowblower...i'll spare you the details
Raw meat.
Cooked pasta-when a piece of it falls on floor.
Also, the sink drain/trap (where it is prone to getting grungy/sludgy).
this is a very good point,,the plumbing under the sink, when the pipes get clogged....
I had to snake the pipe from under the sink towards the septic,,, and yes,,,that was about the grossest thing ive had to do for home maintenance.....clean out a drain pipe that hasn't been snaked for 22 years,,,
i'll spare the details,,,but id love to see you squeamish ladies that cant touch a chicken thigh, snake out the one of these pipes....

I've dropped things in the garbage disposal and had to reach in and pick them out. I only did that once with a bare hand.

Lol!
I cannot put my hand down a disposal. I can't do it. I know it's turned off... but I can't do it. I used to use an old serving spoon to retrieve things, and now I figured out tongs are much better.
EDIT: But, as has been mentioned, the sink strainer is probably the worst for me. *shudder

I probably would have broken everything in my kitchen swinging at that bat (screaming the whole time of course). I've chased a crow out of my bedroom before. I never realized that crows were so mean because it kept dive bombing me and seemed to be going for my face. Even the dog (a sturdy shepherd) abandoned me and I was left to do battle with the crow on my own. It pooped on my pillow before finally flying out the window.
Don't you have SCREENS on your windows?!?

Um, that's what the dog is for. It's a fair trade off...dog eats all fallen food, and in exchange, I vacuum up all dog hair on floor. Seems fair to me!
