Thanks, whoever pulled this out of the ethers and bumped it up. HILARIOUS!!!

Jim, did it hiss at you? We used to get possums in our back yard a lot in our old house, especially in the fall when the apples were falling off our trees. They apparently really like apples. I was torn between whether they were kinda cute or seriously ugly (they are kinda like nuclear rats, aren't they?) right up until one hissed at me one night. Made my mind right up. Nasty things.

Too funny that this showed up today. My DH just asked me to find it and send it to him after his co-worker's aunt left the sunroof open and was driving down the highway and found a snake in her car!! She pulled over on the shoulder, opened all 4 doors, and sat on the guard rail and waited until it finally came out

OMG! That happened to me 3 yrs ago! DH used my car to go to a concert. He drove it home and parked under the large palm tree next to our driveway. Yup- he left the sunroof wide open. The next day I was scheduled to work and on sundays I left around 8am. I was cursing my husband(figuratively in my head) as I used a towel to wipe down the driver's seat, windshield and steering wheel from the morning mist here in FL. As I'm driving on the interstate at 70 mph (speed limit here) I felt something slide over my left ankle then across my right foot on the gas pedal. I look down and the end of a brown snake was slithering under the seat! I coasted to a stop on the shoulder and pull over using the emergency brake because at this point I'm too scared to put my feet anywhere near the floor. On the side of the road, I have all the doors open and am looking for it when a cop pulls over next to me and asks what's going on. As I explain it to him- he's cracking up. Laughing so hard he says he may have to go to the bathroom. When he finally believes me, he gets a night stick and flashlight and sees it now in part of the underside of the driver's chair. He gets it out with the stick and wasn't laughing anymore as he puts it in a bag. I did make him check the rest of the car for anymore critters before I pulled away. When I got to work- I called DH and boy did I let him have it. He just laughed like the cop.

Possums are nasty little buggers. We had one living under our deck for awhile and hissed at us every time we took the dogs out. It used to sit on the deck railing tormenting the dogs

I hadn't seen this thread before so I got a good laugh while thinking how much I hate them. My house is close to woods so we get critters through the yard now and then. My dog HATES possums. In July I went to sit down on the couch to eat a bowl of cereal and watch the news and there was a big old dead possum in my seat. I ran screaming into the kitchen til I remembered my phone was still inside. I called my DH sobbing and screaming for him to come home from work. I didn't even care if he brought the van load of inmates he was transporting. Thankfully my DS came to my rescue although he laughed pretty hard at me while he took it out. I was afraid to come downstairs for a bit. Three weeks later, the night before we left for Disney, she brought in another one. Thankfully I was in bed and never knew til we left in the morning. I made my son sweep for possums every night while he checked on the dog and the house. I hate possums, hate them.
