Have I been unreasonable? (contains rodent related content)

[djon]

The story so far...

My girlfriend and her sister have recently moved out of a flat they shared and into respective shared flats in different parts of London. Last night my g/f stayed at mine and at 1am her phone rings and it’s her sis totally hysterical and in tears because there is a mouse in her room. This is a room she’s stayed in for 3 weeks or so now, and has 6 other tenants sharing the house - read: very nearby. My g/f starts pacifying her (very loudly) offering to drive down to get her (this is from NW London down to SW London at 1am in them morning....in my car...) and asks me if it’s OK for her to stay the night at mine.

Now, given the time in the morning I was rudelyt awakened, and my subsequent short temper relating to said time, I recall my take on proceedings was along the lines of:
‘I’ve just been woken up at 1am when I have to be up at 6:30 so unless it’s a gun-toting-ill-tempered-mutant-mouse and her life is in imminent danger then surely let’s just look at the big picture. It’s a mouse. It’s not exactly going to bother/attack/injure her etc etc and she has a house full of people (inc 3 blokes) about an hour closer than us....so surely you're both being ridiculous?'

This was apparently the wrong answer.

I’m now the unsympathetic, heartless, mutant-rodent-befiending lunatic who doesn't care about her sister's life...etc etc.

It was a mouse. Have I really been unreasonable?


Thanks in advance,

Jon

[WorAl]

WTF she was taking the piss right? it was a wind up? surely? tell me it was?

No

[Harry Flashman]

Yes. You missed an opportunity to look like a hero. And get them both into your bed.

Unreasonable? No. Possibly short-sighted? Yes.

[Corpulent Tosser]

Your girlfriend asks if her sister can come and stay the night as she is distressed and you did not take this as a possible (though realistically remote) opporchancity for a sisterly threesome ?

[Harry Flashman]

That's wot I sed, innit.

[Neil H]

No, in fact you should have driven down there just to bh-slap her.

I've occasionally had mice in the office.

Cue hysterical wimmin standing on chairs, shrieking.

Over a mouse. FFS

Yeah, but you're basically a man in a woman's body, right?

It's that kind of thinking that entertains the PH masses so much Harry.

Lol. I missed that angle at the time...

Edited because I've not had much sleep and the 'that' was in the wrong place.
