What is the Oddest Thing That Has Turned Up Around Your Home?

[Yopaz]

I found a fuck-mothering SCORPION in my kitchen once. Squished it with the nearest shoe without a second thought.

And whatever the hell this thing is:

It's one of the species in the family commonly referred to as house centipedes. They are carnivorous unlike the millipedes and can be separated from them since they have one pair of legs per body segment and venomous claws to kill its prey. Quite a beautiful specimen you've got there.

OT: My mom found a bat in the attic that had managed to get caught in the flypaper and died there. What a horrible way to go, it was such a cute little thing too.

My friend was sorting through his laundry and found girl's top. It looked like it was meant for a 12 year old which means it was too big to belong to his sister and too small to belong to his mother so he couldn't have taken it by accident when he was home. Now we're left wondering what kind of chicks he picks up when he's drunk...

A nice swichbalde that my dad had evidently forgot about and just let me have it.

And on a much more disturbing note my mom brought back a lock-box from a storage unit and it just sat on my back porch for like a month.When I finally had some time to get it open I was literally full of dildo's. That's right at least half a dozen old ass dildos plus what I assume were anal beads. I quickly bagged it and threw it away, I had to be forced to tell my mom what was actually in it a month later.

It's a house centipede. My apt has them. I've grown rather fond of them actually. They're harmless to humans, they don't touch/actively avoid human food, and they eat roaches, spiders, and bedbugs. Having lived in apts with all three of those (and rats, yeesh) I appreciate house centipedes because we're on the same team.

When I lived in Florida, my room was in the basement. We had a scorpions nest somewhere in there and we could never seem to keep them out. It was pretty normal for me to hear crunching as I walked to the bathroom in the semi-darkness. Also we came out one morning to find a 12 foot alligator chilling in our swimming pool.

We moved to another house in Texas and I found an old coffee can totally full of 1960's and 70's coins. A few silver coins and other valuable ones but mostly just change. Weird thing was it was hidden on a top shelf in the kitchen behind a false panel. I was standing on the counter looking for a part missing from my moms blender that she kept on that shelf and I noticed the panel was tweaked so that I could see something metallic behind it. I played it off and didnt say a word, then waited a day or two till I was alone to go look in it. I was hoping for a gun or some gold jewelry. I wonder now if I could have tried to find the owner but I was 12 at the time and not really thinking about what I did that much.

People I don't know.

Yeah, the roomies keep bringing in weirdos (such as a hippie guy who was wearing a dress and dreads), but at one point due the hippie roomie not believing in locking the front door, we had a break in.

Ok, so it wasn't so much a break in as it was a few people looking for the place next door, but still.

Oh. I read turned on. Got a bit confused at the OP.
Nothing exciting has turned up here. Saw a fox crossing the road once. They're not exactly common in this area, though I've seen a few others while out driving early.

A stain. It wasn't there yesterday, but here it was today. No one knew where that stain came from, but we all agreed that it needed to go.

Mate if I saw that in my room I would literally jump out the fucking window. Jesus that's terrifying.

Apparently it's called a house centipede. And don't worry, the photo isn't actual size (if that helps).

 

[Grach]

I once found a locust. I'd be fine if I lived in the outskirts of the city, but lived downtown at the time. Then, a small kitten apeared in our balcony, by sheer magic. And of course, a hummingbird.

 

[dvd_72]

Many many years ago we used to get deer wandering into our back yard. Not too odd I guess, our house was one of the first to be built on the street with untouched forest around and the back yard didn't have fences back then.

Also a dog wandered in. I can't for the life of me remember the name of the breed, but it was big with straight hair that covered its eyes. For those of you who know, immagine a larger version of Samson from Samson en Gert. It was really friendly and calm, which was great as my brother and I were still very young.

 

[madkill]

A naked girl, I was shocked.

 

[Bug MuIdoon]

Somehow we keep on ending up with panties and bras that not one of the three women (myself, my sister, my mother) in my household own.

I... really don't know what to make of it. We don't even wear the brands most of the time.

You may want to... erm, question your dad about cross dressing. :\

ha ha

 

[Lil devils x_v1legacy]

A bull kept my family barricaded in the house for hours because it apparently got loose from somewhere and was in our front yard. Then of course my not-so-intelligent brother threw firecrackers at it and it charged him and he ran into the house. If it had not collapsed the front porch steps getting it stuck in them it would have easily taken down the front door entirely and came in the house. My mom called the sheriff but the sheriff was afraid to approach it and instead had someone go find the owners and they had to tranquilize the thing and wait for it to pass out before they could move it. I guess that could be considerd an "odd thing to turn up around the house". LOL

My neighbor had an Emu chase her around her yard when she came home from work and tried to go in her house.. that might be considered odd as well.

That conversation had to have been awkward.

- Hey hon what was in the lock-box?

- I don't wanna talk about it.

- It has been a month, TELL ME!

- Fine. Dildos.

- What?

- Old ass dildos and anal beads, Okay?

- ... Sorry I asked.

Well, I don't live there at the moment, but my Dad had a Coywolf wander through his yard. We're pretty sure it was trying to go after the groundhog that lives under the shed.

Weirdness thing around my apartment was the time I opened the garbage can to find 3 raccoons staring back at me, but raccoons are pretty common here, even had them sneak into my kitchen when I left the door open and eat the cat food.

 

[Azaraxzealot]

A flock of wild turkeys.

I live in a lower-middle class neighborhood in the bay area so this is VERY surprising.

One was even in a tree in my back yard.

EDIT: It should be mentioned that is was the middle of March as well.

 

[staika]

Once had a crane in our backyard, never saw one before that point. Funny thing is my cat tried to attack it and it flew away.

There was also this one time where I found a half eaten cardinal. Still don't know how my cat kills so many birds.

 

[triggrhappy94]

Huge ass frog. It's weird because I don't live that close to the creek.

I caught a big spider on my couch while I was working on homework.

Oh no way. I live in the North Bay (as far north as you can get and still consider it the Bay Area). Turkeys are kind of common here, especially around the hills.

I have a bunch:
-A stork casually eating the fish out of our Koi pond in the morning.
-Three hedgehogs chasing each other on the front yard.
-A drunk guy who mistook our house for his and called the police on -us- for house-squatting.
-A dead cow in the garden (to this day, we have absolutely no idea where it came from, as no-one reported it missing, and according to the footprints, it came there on its own...)

Yup, we live in a weird, weird neighborhood... -.-

ha ha

lol no, my dad has joked about it before, and there is absolutely no way he would have been able to hide it (our house is TINY). Aside from that, these panties are RIDICULOUSLY tiny for the most part. My theory is when my mother goes to visit one of our relatives, she accidentally brings some of my aunt's underwear with her.
