'Café customer was hiding creepy item in baby sling – it put me off my coffee' Going to your local coffee shop to grab something to drink first thing in the morning is a daily ritual for many - but one woman may be rethinking her routine after a recent visit.
The young woman in front of me was wearing a baby sling, and out crawled a pet rat, which ran up and down her arm and had a good sniff about," she recalled on Mumsnet.
In fact, she was so "gobsmacked" by what was lurking in one woman's "baby sling" that it put her right off her drink.
The woman admitted that the rat "didn't poo, wee, bite anyone or run on the countertops," but regardless, she said that she felt really "creeped out".
Another added that "no animals should be in a coffee shop, dogs, rats, or otherwise".
