When I was in 11th grade in bio, I was standing up close to the lab desk with my feet underneath the table. When I was done with my enzymes and stuff I backed away and felt something stuck to my shoe. I tried to scrape it off, but it was stuck for real! So I looked down.
It was a sticky paper MOUSE TRAP I had stepped in under the table stuck to my shoe - with a MOUSE ON IT. I was sooooo freaked out that it didn't even occur to me that taking off my shoe = no more mouse on my foot.
Anyway, my teacher ripped the paper off my foot and broke the neck of the mouse (it had still been alive). He said that sticky paper mouse traps were basically torture devices because th mice suffocate and get crushed to death for days, and that it was inhumane to use them. I felt really bad for the mouse afterwards...but still. **shudder**
