Some bats have all the luck

The BBC is reporting the case of a teenage girl who thought her mobile phone was vibrating... in her bra. (The bra was a 34FF, so there was room for it). Turns out it was a baby bat. (As in tiny flying mammal.)

She was sitting at her desk at work when she decided to investigate the strange movements in her underwear. "I put my hand down my bra and pulled out a cuddly little bat. That shocked me very much at the time, but it scuttled off under the desk into the dark. I was shaking from head to toe. It looked quite cosy and comfortable in there so it was quite rude of me to take it out. When I realised it was a bat the first thing that occurred to me was, how did it get in there? I did not notice anything as I put my bra on. The night before I had had one or two drinks and I was getting ready quickly. The bra was in my drawer but it had been on the washing line the day before. When I was driving to work, I felt a slight vibration but I thought it was just my mobile phone in my jacket pocket." The bat was captured by one of her colleagues and released.

Rico says this is a forgiving woman: "I felt quite sorry for it. Perhaps I should have left it there and given it a good home."
