Yup I'd agree tropic got it. I didn't notice the matted legs until I looked closer. Good find.

If it didn't come up, the other option is it came out his butt. I think I'd take door number 1.

Creepy. I hesitated to open this thread..I wasnt sure what I would find!

I will be checking the toilet before going from now on. Ewwwwwwwww

Might get an answer from this guy:

It's clearly been damaged, 5 legs on one side and 3 on the other...

I think that is an emaciated Chinese fighting fish that someone flushed down the toilet.

Kill it with fire!!!!!

It's an alien organism, capable of crawling up your butt, attaching itself to any of your internal organs to produce a chemical to override your normal senses. At which point you will be an unwilling participant in any mind control conspiracy that comes along....or am I in the twilight zone?

Well whatever it is, it has powers strong enouigh to make me feel sick looking at it all the way down here in Aus.

Ugly, god know I wont even be able to poop in safety.

ugly butt bugs !!!

Looks like an earwig having a bad hair-day... or a bad leg-day

I vote for silverfish.

Oh wow when I saw this I thought you meant this.



Good thing it was a real creature. lol

Same.
It looks like one to me.

I've seen them wet from spray and they turn matted and weird.

Looks like a species of insect larvae or nymph, possibly a type of mosquito larvae.

Along with drain fly larvae (actually a kind of moth) they are known to appear in toilets and also to occasionally emerge from taps into baths and sinks.

Not sure what exact species (250 types in the US alone), but here are some common examples:

when i was in middle school, there was this kid that was always talking about the toilet monster.
we all just made fun of him.

i guess we owe him a apology

That's a centipede (Scutigera coleoptrata), silverfish look completely different. I do think it is a silverfish though (what they really look like).

Seriously though, I'll be approaching the toilet with a flame thrower in 3...2...1

S+F for the "WTF is that" factor.

Oh man, if your friend found that in their toilet then I think he/she needs to start eating better...

Haha but all joking aside, I would be terrified to open the lid and see something like that floating around... Thanks for the nightmares.

Dead and floating, maybe a cricket that fell in and got bloated from absorbing a lot of water? My best real guess..

I've done plenty of fishing using crickets and that, my friend, is not a cricket.

Nah, I don't think so.
