Stupid Things My Friends Have Done (WARNING! TALE OF EXTREME ANIMAL CRUELTY)

Switchblade:
Kind of a dumb/sinister tale really, this one.

My house developed a rodent problem a few months back, and being the lazy slobs we are it took us forever to tackle it. Last week, I got us a humane trap and set it up. Plan was to catch a mouse, release it a couple miles away in a hedgerow somewhere, rinse and repeat until there are no more mice.

Here's where the stupid shit comes into play. The other night, the trap paid off, catching its first mouse. Unfortunately, at the time a friend of ours was asleep on the couch, and its frantic "help, I'm stuck in a humane trap!" scrabblings woke him up. Drunk and pissed off at this agitated mouse, he promptly decides that the best thing to do is kill it, and selects what he believes to be the quickest, safest, easiest and most humane method available - our microwave oven.

I'll skip over the details. Let's just say that we're not certain we can ever trust that microwave to be clean, ever again, despite the fact that the mouse was at least still inside the trap when he did this...

The funny part is that, even sober, he still insists there's nothing wrong with nuking live mice. Never mind that the RSPCA can and have prosecuted people for exactly that in the past - as far as he's concerned, "it's some lesser creature, I can do that shit."

Anyone else got similar stories involving random stupidity? More "dumb stuff" and less "horrible cruelty to God's creatures" please.

EDIT: also gah, blindness

Put the warning in there, just in case. - Inlander.

Jimmy the Squid:
Um, how can you be friends with someone who has done something like that? Seriously, that is fucking horrible.

Switchblade:
This literally happened something like two days ago, and this is a guy I've known for three years. He was my friend long before he was a mouse-murderer, and aside from this one thing, he's a genuinely awesome bloke.

He just apparently has a block in this one area. Apparently, in his world, getting microwaved is a painless, humane process resulting in near-instant death in less than a second without suffering. We're having a hard time convincing him otherwise. He's under a ban from interacting with the mice in any way now, even if they're really annoying him - future violations will result in the suspension of all couch privileges.

Inlander:
This is one of those stories I wish I hadn't read. In fact, I'm tempted to put a warning in the thread title.

Oh, by the way, hi Switchblade.
