So I was just at Safeway picking up burrito stuff. The woman in front of me in line was sporting a pet rat in her arms. Would this bother you?

I thought it was adorable and asked if I could pet the rat. And then more people got in on the rat action. I was a bit shocked so many people would give the rat-lady so much love. And the rat lady had two huge carts of stuff and let me cut since I only hade a few things.

Top-notch ratsperience.

So my question is how the rat would go over with you and in your neck of the woods. I was actually a bit surprised nobody gave a single shit.
