Help
If i had only been faster on my feet (while wearing my robe). I just went to take a shower this evening, reached in to turn the water on (without pulling back the curtian. I noticed a strange sound coming out of the shower. Well, to my surprise, when I pulled back the shower curtian, there, in all its glory was a RADIATOR from a certain DSO's racecar!!!!!!!!! I went to get the camera, all the while muttering to myself...and that man...fast fast man, got it out and ran. He did NOT want his little booboo to show up in a layout. I am still speechless. Why on earth would a radiator need to take up residence in my bathtub I asked. He replied, what, did you want me to put it in the bed. No smooches for him this evening!
Share with me if you have ever found something strange in your bathtub! Or am I just the only one???

Years ago, one of our cats brought in a snake, through the kitty door. We discovered the 2 1/2 foot snake in the tub, making a serious stink. It turns out that snakes emit a noxious smell when cornered, to try to chase off predators. Not fun.

When we lived in Va. I found a bat in my bathtub one morning. I called DH at work and said "come home, there is a bat in my bathtub". He came home, opened the bathroom door, and said, "oh, it IS a bat". I could have hit him.

LOL! Funny stories!
Before children, we owned a pot belly pig. We came home one night and instead of finding her on her bed in the garage, found her in the bathtub! She got herself in and couldn't get out. The strange thing was, she hated taking baths and she had closed all the doors behind herself!! She must have wedged her chubby little body between the doors and the walls and pushed them shut!!

I've never found anything odd in the shower *knock on wood*, but when my husband was a child, he once reached for the shampoo bottle and found a scorpion...

I had a rather ugly slug in my tub yesterday. It's a good thing my shower head has a high pressure setting. Taking hair out of the drain is too creepy for me. I use drano foamer so I won't find any wiggly surprises that might take a decade off my life.

A cute little green frog. Not at my house, but at my parents.

Well, I thought a radiator was bad! You guys take the cake. If I saw a frog in the tub, I would have to burn the bathroom;.....I DO NOT like frogs in the least little bit....especially the little green ones with the sucker feet!

Um, before my kids were potty trained, I would routinely find...um...presents in their bathwater. 
DH thought it was hilarious when I would call him at work and vent. But, last year while I was at the Scrap Girls convention, and he was home alone with the kids, he got a little present of his own to deal with. He now has a little more sympathy for me...

Ok, ladies - had a little fun with google this morning. I googled "silverfish" and discovered that that monster in my shower stall was NOT a silverfish. I've always thought that's what they were. Actually that caterpillar looking thing with those long feathery legs is a Scutigera coleoptrata or a house centipede. Some people call them "thousand-leggers."
They actually prey on things I REALLY don't want in my house, like spiders, bedbugs, termites, cockroaches, silverfish and ants. It has a bite with a mild poison that subdues or kills its prey before eating it. But they are harmless to humans and are shy. This poison should not be considered a danger to a large mammal like a human or cat or dog.
But that doesn't make it any less creepy. They like to hang out in damp environments like your basement or your bathtub or shower drain and surprise you in the morning.
Go away bug.

a frozen rat. It was in the bathtub we watered the cows with and must have gotten hit with firewood we were chucking through a trap door just above it. Obviously the bathtub was in the barn not the house but it totally freaked me out.

I think Dee's frozen rat takes the prize!
I've never found anything but spiders or those "thousand leggers" in my shower. But they don't really freak me out much. Now a snake, bat, or a rat sure would, though!

Ok, THOSE are even YUCKIER and CREEPIER than the silverfish (which we have at this house, ick). Knock on wood only my DH has ever seen a centipede here, in the basement. Hm...maybe that's why I don't paper scrap as much anymore, I know there are centipedes down there;)

Conclusion: I'll take a dirty radiator over a many-legged creature any day;) But I'd prefer a nice, pristinely clean (and not me who had to clean it) tub with nothing in it but my nice shampoos and soaps:)

I had a cricket that sang all night long in mine. Not sure how it got there and it drove me bananas. Had a hard time catching the darn thing. As long as the finish was okay, I would take the radiator over a bug, etc. too. If the finish was marred, I'd be asking for a whole new bathroom to go with the new tub!

Cheri, I agree with you about the pristine tub cleaned by someone else!
And the rest of you make me grateful that the only things I find in my bathtub are spiders! (Euuuwww, get it out!)

A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was,the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove, but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child....
