So I just saved a life...

[ToyfareMark]

Not a person's but thats not the point.

I was at work managing things like a good manager, when I was called to the service desk. The girl working up there was freaking out, cause there was a pretty big bug chilling out on the wall. She asked me to kill it, so I responded by getting the flyswatter, gently nudging the bug onto it, then took him outside, and put him onto a plant. When I went back inside, the service desk girl asked me why I didn't kill it. I responded by saying "Why did that bug deserve to die? Because he scared you?" She got what I was saying, and said it was nice of me to have let him go.

Now it's not a big thing, but I really don't like harming animals, even insects. So it felt good to solve that situation, and teach someone a valuable lesson. I guess my point is, sometimes the small victories in life can really make your day.

Is the girl hot, and is she single?

Was this playing in the background during the ordeal?



I sure hope so!!!

I wish it had been playing, our Muzak has been messed up for awhile so we hear the same batch of songs over and over, it's driving me crazy.

You're a caped crusader, aren't you?

I don't kill bugs because I think they deserve to die.

I kill them because I get actual pleasure from doing it.

Good job, mang.

Not even lying for the sake of the thread, but I saved 3 bugs today in similar fashion. In your face!

Ever since I got out of grad school and stopped killing mice, I've been incapable of killing anything at all. So we get these ginormous spiders at our office that blend into the carpet, and you don't see them until they move and they really freak people out. I'm the designated spider catcher, and will come over with my trusty cup and cardboard to trap them and take them outside. Where, let's be honest, they probably trot right back in. But I don't mind taking them out over and over; I'm much happier living gently than I was when killing was the first/only response.

Once bugs get into my turf, they have to GET GOT.

I never kill spiders because they kill insects. I also admire the fact that they can create webs.

I imagine both the girl and the bug watching you walk away in slow motion while Foo Fighters' "My Hero" plays in their heads.

By not killing that bug you have created the timeline where "Escape From Bug Island" becomes a reality.

Congratulations.

[Non Banjoble Tokens]

That bug would kill you if it had the chance, don't kid yourself.

The only course of action now is to pick up 99 rocks and throw them at bug nests.

Unless a spider really shits me up, I don't kill them, I just throw them outside. They don't deserve to die just because I'm weirded out by them and I live in a country with no venomous bugs.
