I am sure most everyone who works in hay has had a mouse in the pants. More than once that has happened to me. I'm wondering what else has crawled up your leg? Stan

Back in the early 70's, just out of high school, I was renting a $100 a month dump of a house. It had sat vacant and was mouse infested!
Sitting on the pot one morning, pants down on the floor, here comes a mouse running straight toward me. about the time I tried to kick at him, he arrived just in time to go up under my pants! I lost sight of him, didn't know exactly where he was, but had me kicking and squirming for a while until he fell out and went on his way!

Mice encounters are frequent here.
Around 15 years ago, my dad and I were cruising down I-64, A mouse crawls out of the cowling and proceeds to go out on the windshield wiper ,
Dad starts accelerating to blow the mouse off,. He then turns the wipers on high in hopes of slinging the mouse off, Not happening,
As we get to 100 MPH and the wipers going on hight the mouse finally is slung off!
LOL

Not like they're going to hurt you, but make you do some real foot stomping dancing, eh? And not like that's going to get them out either? But sure gets you excited while trying to undo and drop your britches to get them out. Funny thing is that when you drop and start shaking them, mouse is gone. Happens.

As youngsters we raised pheasants for 4H, later the coup sat vacant for many years, the rats chewed a whole in the small door and took up residence, we made a patch for the door and left it open until after dark then shut the door from outside and went in with baseball bats. Yup one tried to run up my brothers leg. Wasps and such that get in your pants can be a problem, shake your pants out when you take them off the cloths line.

Amish girl came up one day and the rooster got under her dress. Was told off a Amish girl if she was driving a team in the winter what the dog would do was get under her dress to get warm I guess it was a interesting sight seeing the girl go buy with a tail hanging out the back of the dress.
A year after we were married rented this house in the country. Small house with a block laid basement. Washer and dryer were down there and also about 4 big black snakes. We was next to a big chicken farm. Told wife they were taking care of the mice population leave them alone. She still loves me, will be married 50 years in a few month.

Here n Iowa it was a mouse or rat up the pant leg when shelling corn. Never had it happen to me but I saw it happen. Old WW1 vet was helping us shell and a rat went up his leg. He sat down in the corn squeezing the rat as hard as he could through his pant leg. The rat was squealing away but he finally silenced it. The local corn sheller man had elastic straps around his pant legs at his ankles to help with the critter up the pants leg problem.

On Taiwan, it was monkeys. They ran loose on the island. Our tents weren't all that secure, and it was possible to wake up in the morning and find a monkey in bed with you.
Marines exacerbated the problem. Americans are suckers for pets, so the local Taiwanese would catch monkeys, half tame them and sell them to Marines for pets. The Marines would get tired of them after a couple of weeks and turn them loose. So our tent camp was overrun with monkeys.

I believe the technical term for what you're describing is "marriage".......
Had a mouse run up my pantleg in the hayfield once--was wearing a pair of old hand-me-down bell-bottoms and he got halfway to my knee before he ran out of operating room and had to reverse course. Also learned at a young age to tuck my pants into my boots while shoveling feed in the feedbin--you'd hit a mouse nest either with the shovel or with your foot and a dozen mice would go scampering in every direction!

Didn't really crawl, but still ended up way too far up my pant leg.
It was at the first shop I worked at.
Boss had me cleaning up a bunch of parts on a wire wheel mounted on a bench grinder, after that I was told to get a ladder and replace a burnt out light bulb in the shop.
Got to the top of what must have been a 24 foot ladder and changed the bulb without a problem but as I took the first step to come back down the ladder I quickly discovered a piece of that wire wheel was embedded in my jeans in a location that you never want to experience.
At that point regardless of who was in the shop, clothing was coming off 24 feet up and that needle like object was being removed.
The saying about a thorn in your hind side is nothing compared to a needle in your front side.

ha, never had it happen to me, but I remember my grandfather - mouse ran up inside his pant leg, he just grabbed it through his pants, crushed it, and just shook it out dead.
Seeing how casual he was about it, I always assumed that's just how you're supposed to handle that situation.

When we cleaned up the last ton or so of ear corn out of the crib, there would be rats scurrying everywhere. Never had one inside the pants leg, but had em crawl up the outside of my pants. Only problem is, the Siberian Husky that was in the crib with me would grab the rat and occasionally he would get a piece of me in the process! Usually had two or three dogs in the crib with me and it was quite the 3 ring circus. The dogs saw to it that the rats had kind of a hard time of it. Had a rat or two, in their desperation to get away from the dogs would run up the auger of the feed grinder and jump right into the hammer mill.

I used to work with a man a few years ago. Vietnam vet, biker, big, ugly, burly dude you didn't want to get crosways with...
You also didn't want to be in his way if a mouse came into view! He was terrified of them! First time it happened, I saw him drop his tools and bound up onto the work bench. Didn't know what was happening, then I saw the mouse, started laughing, thought he was just clowning around. Nope, he was dead serious! Then he was mad at me for laughing at him! It was like he went into a fight or flight mode, run from the mouse and fight anything available!
He quickly settled down, no harm done. But I sure learned just how serious he was about rodents!

One fall was sitting at the computer and saw the cat staring at something by the garbage can. My mother was in the dining room on the other side. Cat takes off chasing mouse around the kitchen sliding on the floor all over the place. next thing the mouse heads for me and runs up my pant leg into the neither region. I'm jumping up and down the mouse runs down the other leg and the cat gets it. My mother starts laughing hysterically as she is on top of the dining room table.
I was working under a car in my youth and had a mouse drop down on my chest. It startled me and I lifted my head not thinking I'm under the car and hit it on the oil pan but wasn't smart enough to do it just once I did it 2 times.
That wasn't as bad as when I had a bark scorpion crawl up my pants and sting me 3 -4 time in the leg. My hole leg and hip throbbed for a week

Guy I play pool with had to deliver another driver's load one day. Got in the truck and rolled the windows down mid-winter because it stunk so bad. A few miles down the road he looks down, there's a mouse on the passenger seat watching him.
The other driver did not have a pet mouse.
They cleaned the truck out and sent him down the road.

when we cleaned out corn cribs, Dad always started the lawn mower, let it idle next to the crib. You'd be surprised how many rats and mice ran under it. We put wire over discharge to prevent dog and cats from getting hurt
