You sneak half of the stuff the goes into the recycle box back out when your significant other isn't looking.

-Your neighboors have a lab mouse/rat infestation.

-Swat comes to your door, after a tip-off from the power company that you are using twice as much power as the average house, and they ask you if you are growing pot. They come in and see how many heating elements you have and write your house off as a fire hazard.

(ok that was waaaaaaaaayyyyyyy toooooooo looooonnnnnggggg)

-Your snakes have a better sex life than you

-The neighboors ask "what's that smell", and you reply: "what smell?"

-You family is too embarassed to come to your house because they dont want anyone to see them with you

-Your Gradma faints when she finds an escapee crawling through your bathroom. You shouldn't have kept your herps(more than a few..................................hundred!) "secret"

Haha ok some of those were pretty lame but I made them up myself. Anyways, There is like, 10 pages of them on N.E.R.D .

- when you find a cabinet/shelf/or pretty much anything and stare at it, secretly planning ways to convert it into a reptile habitat

- when you buy tons and tons of rubbermaids

- when people see you outside cutting down trees and taking rocks back to your house (maybe just me

)

AND your proud of it!

-your standing in line at the store and some one says, hey do those make good pets, and you say, hm never thought of that.

-You check the "free to good home" ads daily, yet have no desire to own a mammal

-Your freezer is full but the kids whine that there's nothing to eat!

-You ask to borrow your friend's pet tree frog to rub a mouse on for that picky feeder.

-Your girlfriend tells you to choose between her & the snakes, and not only do you tell her you'll miss her, but calculate how many shoebox racks will fit in her half of the closet.

-You've ever popped a snake & somebody says, "Wow! Check out the hemipenes on him!"

i copied alot of thes from the nerd site

-When someone walks into your house and says, "holy smokes it's sweltering in here!" And you say, "What are you talking about?" (Our house is always around 85 degrees

)

-When there's more food for your pets in the freezer than for youself.

-When you see a rabbit hopping around in the parking lot and the first thing you say is, "Wow! My boa constrictor would love THAT!"

----when you can stand in the rubbermaid section for HOURS, but give your gf/bf a max time of 5 minutes for their shopping

----any thing square can be of possible use as a new cage.

---- you have a bedroom, but no bed (Borrowed from n.e.r.d! lol)

----You own TONS of rubbermaids, but store nothing.

----You can make anything fit into the back of a truck

(or trailor)

----you have ever microwaved soup in a bowl (the instant kind) and a mouse at the same time....

----if you have ever had to clean mouse guts off of anything!

CHRISANDBOIDS14 · 04-26-04, 09:45 PM

Haha, I notice almost 90% of all these are off N.E.R.D. But they have a good list!

Another one from NERD is: You feel guilty picking out your "pet rabbit" in front of some bunny loving kids.

crossley · 04-26-04, 09:48 PM

You see a really cute girl in the checkout line at Zeller's with a bunch of rubbermaids and wonder "is she a herper or does she just have alot of sweaters".

Yness · 04-28-04, 10:18 AM

I like that last one!!!

When you buy a large container of margarine...and you never eat the stuff (container = hide...its a stretch but hey...I find that I am not the wittiest person)
