She'll never drink water again
Don't read this if you're easily grossed. This just happened 10 minutes ago, I couldnt make this up if i tried.
My snakes arent picky, so i feed them according to availability, sometimes its live, today it was f/t. I warmed the rat in a bag, inside glass of water, but unfortunately the bag had a hole so he ended up soaking in the water. I proceeded with feeding and forgot about the glass.
Fast forward an hour or 2, i walk into the kitchen and see the glass but notice it's half empty. Not paying any mind, I empty the glass and set it aside for cleaning, then go into my living room. Not 30 seconds later my wife walks in with a smug grin and asks "Where'd your glass of water go that I was just drinking?"
Im dead

You sure she wasn't messing with your head? Does she usually drink out of "your" glass?
Are you ever going to kiss her again? LOL
(and truly, you should use a specific container for thawing)

Maybe start thawing out the feeders in the reptile room?
I used to thaw in water and it was such a pain. Now, what I do is thaw overnight in the fridge, sit out at room temp for a couple hours, then hit it with a blow dryer right before feeding. I like this system a lot better as the feeder doesn't get soaked and I don't have to change out water for warmer water several times.

This is EXACTLY the reason I have dedicated deli tubs for defrosting/warming prey. They are kept in the snake room, clearly labeled "NOT FOR FOOD". They are washed immediately after use and returned to the snake room.
Honestly, though, that story is PRICELESS!!!!!
Good luck getting out of the doghouse with this one, I hope you have a comfy couch!!!
Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when Jerry drops his girlfriend's toothbrush in the toilet.

Soaking it in water though helps 'hydrate' the food as freezing saps some of the liquid from it. That's why with my GTP, i inject his mice with about 3/4 of an insulin syringe full of mountain spring water every time. As for the the rest of the food, i just throw it all into a dish tub of warm water and let it sit for anywhere from an hour for mice to 3-4 hours for rabbits and guinea pigs. I just refresh the water every time i go to fish out the next smallest feeders. Works alright for me as i just start thawing usually around 6pm and by 9-10pm, everyone is fed.
And yes, all my snakes gets bottled Arrowhead water lol. I just buy a few cases of it and i and the snakes all drink it lol.
