A Rat Was Found Sewn Into A Zara Dress
People find weird stuff in their food all the time. Sure, it's disturbing and gross, but I think we're finally at a place with our food where something like finding a chicken head among our bucket of fried chicken isn't going to totally destroy everything you hold dear.
However, when someone finds a dead thing in their clothes, I think we have to take a step back. I mean, how do you recover from that?
That's exactly what Cailey Fiesel, a 24-year-old Manhattan resident, found in the hem of her Zara dress. She didn't realize there was anything amiss with the dress until it started smelling and she felt a paw poking her leg. She then saw the dead rat sewn into the hem of the dress.
"I was in complete shock. My eyes saw that it was a mouse but my brain told myself it can't be," she told The New York Post.
She says she bought the dress for $40 in July in a Zara located in Greenwich, Connecticut.
"I felt something brushing up against my leg and thought it was a string from the seam of the dress," Calley said. "When I went to pull at it, it didn't feel like a string. I then felt the hem of the dress and it felt like there was some sort of sensor. I turned up the seam of the dress and saw it was not a sensor and that it was a mouse."
She then jumped from her chair and ran to the bathroom.
"I changed immediately. Thank god I had something to change into," Cailey said.
The 24-year-old has placed a suit against Zara for unspecified damages, citing emotional distress and claims she developed a large rash from a rodent-born disease.
BRB, never buying anything ever again.
