Could have been worse, could have wiped it off and made her eat it.

Agreed, I’m still trying to chew up and swallow that unfortunate phrase. Otherwise an entertaining story. (;

interesting story and very well written. Thanks for a laugh

I have a shirt from his museum in Chicago.

Bingo. Big difference between the two.

Oh my god. I haven't watched this in forever but it's all I can think of when I see a gerbil mentioned

Call the cops. Record every interaction with them.

I don't think there is any point in me lying if i say i did it unknowingly, though i would say that i thought of what I was doing was manipulative but i refuted the feeling as i thought of some justification for myself

I'm assuming they were students who weren't friends or anything and were the kind to keep to themselves in their own rooms.

Oh my this is all sorts of funny 😂

Ooops! I feel for you, but it was a genuine mistake and you apologised.

I asked a child at work if she had bumped herself, as it looked like she had a bruise on her forehead… “No it’s a birthmark!”

Thankfully she wasn’t upset, she just laughed at me and said people ask her a lot.

Sorry's next time

Oh and I was fine by the way. I just always thought it was hilarious and let my grandma scrub away at my face only to start to giggle at some point

That would happen to me from time to time. I was kind of a messy eater as a kid and have beauty spots, moles and freckles in my face. When i would have Nutella people who didn't know me too well assumed that there was way more mess on my face than there actually was. I mean there WAS Nutella on there just not quite as much :D

I loved the yeet part!

Yes! Amazingly written!

🤣🤣🤣

Oh my God!!! This was a hilarious read!!! You are a wordsmith!!! This could be turned into a r/shortscarystories tale because, quite frankly, mice are terrifying!!! I love how it "yeeted" after you asserted dominance! Thank you for sharing. This story made my night! (Sorry to your housemate and the gerbils!)

Oooooohhh what a twist and I adore your writing style, very amusing! Big oooooffffff

Maybe he just thought it was a different kind of mouse especially since he didn’t know there were gerbils in the house? Like if someone doesn’t have a mouse side by side to compare, I can understand mistaking a gerbil for a mouse.

I dunno. Maybe the story is made up, maybe it’s not.

Haha sure, but I’m assuming that was for the young readers? Otherwise I thought it was great

You’re telling me you didn’t cringe at “yeeted itself coherent to my vector”!?

You write very well OP. Shouldn't be laughing but this was very funny.

OP described a prolonged encounter, complete with eye contact.
