One Oregon man's trip to the toilet gave his household some unexpected excitement as soon as he lifted the lid.
As Lee Rich opened the toilet seat, a 10-inch long rat, dripping with sewage, came shooting out of the bowl and darted into an open cabinet where the family stores their bath towels, Salem's Statesman Journal reported.
"That thing just came screaming out of there," said Rich, 66, a retiree.
He trapped the rodent in a plastic coffee can and sealed it with tape. He then put the can in the freezer to kill the rat.
Salem takes 10 to 15 complaints each year from residents about rats in their sewer pipes, said Public Works spokesman Mike Gotterba.
City workers put rat poison in a manhole near Rich's home and promised to put more bait at the location if they needed to.
Guess I ain't the only one!
