Of all the strange things I’ve seen and had to MacGyver my way out of — and trust me, there have been plenty — I can confidently say a slug in the water reservoir of my iron is NOT one of them. But it WAS someone else’s cross to bear.
Posted on the Animals in Predicaments Facebook page, this cry for help yielded anything but helpful advice.

Instead of a barrage of practical advice for ridding the iron of its unwelcome tenant, the image drew out everyone’s inner comedian, and let’s just say, some of these people have a future moonlighting as stand-ups.
Here are just a few of our favorite responses to this poor soul’s predicament:
This one…
And this one…
And this one…
And this one…
And this one…
And certainly this one…
No word on whether the owner of the iron ever got the slug out, but judging by the advice, I’m guessing not. Let’s just hope the slug had enough decency to at least chip in for pizza from time to time.
