    I teach my kids not to kill bugs unless they are doing something bad or dangerous, otherwise just move them.

    Killing things should not be a default action for convenience sake.

      Live with roaches once. You’ll change your mind.

        Tbf, roaches I feel would be covered under his “bad or dangerous” clause.

        I’ve picked up wolf spiders before, but if there is a black widow inside I’ll smash it. Can’t risk them harming me or the ones I look after.

          I’m no expert in bug identification. More legs = worse

        Yeah, roaches get squished.

      Existing too close to me with that many legs is a crime.

        Spiders eat mosquitoes and centipedes eat roaches, you do barely any work all day and contribute nothing back to society. Which one deserves being squished?

          The other day my coworkers and I made literally 5 million wrappers for dum dum suckers in 2 hours. Suck it.

          You eat Twinkies and your mom eats you. Which deserves to be squished?
