I had a monkey in my apartment today!

Be very careful...

Don't laugh. I was in Agra, India and these monkeys, or baboons, nearly attacked me because I looked at them. No one told me don't stare at them unless you want your eyes ripped out..

Yup. They're dangerous.

Loved the story... that was a fear I had when I was in India.. hehe the Monkeys in above picture sat on the wall next to the my hotel. .. Every morning I woke to the sounds of them. I always wondered if they ever came into the rooms... augh... ..

Glad you made it out ok..

If you carry a stick they'll (generally) leave you alone.

Good detailing, thanks for sharing. But that was scary!

If it happened to me, I wouldn't be able to sleep or stay in the same house without a companion. That's just me though, I get scared too easily.

What a wonderful story

I love the details and I did laugh, but I'm glad you got out ok. I would have been a total baby and stayed locked up too.

great story not sure how I would have tried to manage my way out of that one. knowing me I would have just started throwing stuff like a spaz

Oh wow, what a story! I would have been scared too. Very well written though - I did have a laugh, I must admit

I always thought having a monkey in the house would look more like that:

OMG, I just read this story, what a story!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those monkeys have nice sharp teeth, totally would have wet myself, the rat, would have gone insane. Good luck, but now I need to go to India, I hear the country is beautiful, the pictures I see, breathtaking, but monkeys, not cool. lol

He was looking for a pack of Luckys.

He was looking for a pack of Luckys.

Well, he would only have found my menthols!! (It actually was a concern at the time, and I was thankful I had some cigs in the bedroom and a lighter - helped me calm down!)

I am glad you guys enjoyed the story, I can laugh about it now, but I am still paranoid when I take a shower that he will pop back in for another visit! Every sound is a possible 'monkey on the loose' sign, and I am STILL finding little paw prints all over the apartment, particularly by closed windows where he tried to climb out. Resourceful little fellow!

I thought you said "... because I looked like them."

Great story, Carolyn. Thank you.
