Oh, yeah, I've done that a few times.

EDIT: But, as has been mentioned, the sink strainer is probably the worst for me. *shudder

I have a fool proof way of dealing with a gross, nasty sink strainer.

I .....wait for it.......toss it out.

I then buy a new one. They are a few dollars at the hardware store.

Well worth it!

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

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.

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!

Lol, once a bird, a sparrow or something, got into my apartment somehow. It must have been there all night, sleeping on my bed with me to keep warm or something, because I threw back the covers to get out of bed the next morning and this bird frantically flapped out into the living room. !!! It felt so surreal, lol. So I propped the front door open and tried to convince it to fly outside. It was panicking and pooping all over the living room, on the furniture, whatever, lol. Anyway, it finally flew away.

I also had a lizard get into that same apartment. I had never even seen lizards around there before.

It was like I was Dr. Dolittle living there or something, lol.

I hate handling fish. I seldom make or eat it, though, so it's rarely an issue.

LOL I went to take a leak once and there was a friggin' SNAKE in my bathroom. I ripped the screen out and tossed it out the window.

If DH had found it there would have been girlie screams followed by shotgun blasts LOL.

What do you hate to touch in the kitchen?

In the kitchen...have to think about that one a bit....but in the laundry room the thing I hate touch is the iron! Yuck!

[Pikantari]

Raw meat..... ugh

[User1771]

Scooping things out of the sink like food.

[Threestep2]

I find forceps pullers the ideal tool to deal with things in the disposal.

Dead mice.
