OMG that's disgusting. The existence of a *whole page* and a program dedicated to this problem (at least in Seattle) is disturbing. Very glad now that I don't have a garbage disposal, because EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. And that poor rat!
My understanding is that the rat would never get to the garbage disposal because there's a grate-type thing that prevents it from getting into the sink in the first place, thus triggering the bathroom diversion. But EWWWWWW is so right.
I remember hearing a story on This American Life about how they climb through the sewer lines, and still today I always close the toilet lid whenever I see it open.
I close the toilet lid, and have taught the rest of the household to do so, because I read about the fine spray that emanates from a flushed toilet, which I don't want on my toothbrush or towels or really anything else in my bathroom. But now I am especially glad that I insist on this practice!
I always insist on keeping the lid closed, ostensibly and publicly because I try to practice Feng Shui, but in reality because I'm an inveterate klutz and I'm tired of fishing tweezers and combs and toothbrushes (thereafter confined to scrubbing things NOT in my mouth) out of the toilet. H likes it open for easy access. Which, icky. Now, with the spray thing and the random rodentia, I have even more ammo on my side in this argument.
