OMG. I was sleeping on the floor in the living room at the last house I lived in, and was awoken by a mouse running over my pillow right next to ........you guessed it......my sweet noggin!
There were mice poops in the drawer under the stove, and everywhere. It was humiliating. It was awful.
Oh I forgot to mention they were in the cupboards too! I didn't want to put up mouse traps incase they got caught in them (I'd have to deal with that myself) and I didn't want to poison them cause what if they died and rotted and I couldn't get to the body, so I ended up buying these little acrylic cylinders that has a swinging flap half way through. You bait it, they get in and the swinging flap only swings inward, so the mouse can't back out. Then you have to deal with this cute little rodent looking at you from inside this cylinder. But I took it straight out to the dumpster in the alley. Careful to place it upwards so that the critter couldn't escape and come back to the house.
long story. sorry.

A few times. The funniest incident was at uni where I had three flatmates who were all big, tough footballers or rugby players. I came home late one night to find them all standing up on the back of the couch together. One of them was wielding a cricket bat. Even the big rottweiler that they had was huddled on the couch in apparent terror. I was sure that Jack the Ripper was loose somewhere in that flat but it turned out that all of this commotion was over a tiny little mouse! I guess they were afraid it was rabid or something. So this swotty, skinny maths major saved the footballers from the mouse. I found it in one of the kitchen cupboards and put it outside.
I also used to live in an old house that had a resident mouse in one of the walls. I never actually saw it, but you could hear it running about all night long.

I have seen mice a lot of times in a couple places I lived in. Once I was laying on the couch watching tv and all night I watched this mouse wonder around the livingroom like he was paying rent.
The best one though (and this is a true story) was when I was watching The Green Mile and Mr Jingles was walking down the corridor in the prison and at the same time a mouse walks into my diningroom I honestly thought I was dreaming but I wasn't! Of course I screamed and it ran away!!!

I was making some hot chocolate and something ran across the kitchen floor, I had no idea what it was, so I ran. Then when I went back into the kitchen I saw a mouse. My dad purchased a mouse trap (the sticky one) and the mouse was caught. I thought it was cute and I didn't want it to die, so he decided to let it go outside. Then a stray cat decided to kill it.

When I was younger and living at home, my dad bought us a mouse. Well, you know how kids are. It got loose and was running around the house for a few days. It came up through the stove burner and scared my mom one day. My poor mom went through so much with all our pets!

Yes they come in, in the winter and we get rid of them just as fast by using decon mouse bait. It usually works with in a week or so and than we don't have another issue until the next winter. Our big problem is figuring out where they get in each year.

Yes, and it's nerve racking to hear the scratching and see the poop around. Yuck grosses me out. I didn't want to deal with a dead mouse, so I didn't set a trap, I brought the cat in the house and he took care of it; including discarding the body outside.

Does a buffalo smell? Of course, I lived right next to a corn field most of my life and every fall mice would come over to live the winter in our garage. we always had big old tom cats with about 40 claws. When I was little I sat in the garage with the cat watching for mice. They were quick but Tom would smack them with a paw and bounce them off the wall and grab them . He would play with it for twenty minutes or so and would always decide to bring it in the house and give it to my Mom. She would take it and throw it out side with the blur of a cat going out with it.

yup, i live in the woods, we get lots of critters...the first time was shortly after we moved in, i opened the bread drawer and it popped its little head up like "what can't u see i'm dining here"...2nd time just saw the lil shiit run across my floor...the cats chased it into my gym bag and i took it down to the road and let it go.
I have an indoor/outdoor cat, she kills most of them and drops them at the doorstep before they ever make it inside.
