I am glad to know I am not the ONLY person this has happened to.

When I lived in NC, I shared a house with some people and lived in the basement. I was coming home one night and it was pouring down rain. All the lights were off since it was late and it was really dark. When I opened the door, a big, fat, juicy rat scurried over my foot and ran down the hallway to the front of the house. I screeched like a little girl.
