    Once I listened to a pest control guy and he said “I bet you’ve noticed a lot of wolf spiders in your yard”, to which I agreed.

    He told me that their pest control dumps a shit load of pest control spray that should keep them away for a while. I asked, “but isn’t that where they live? Outside?”

    He didn’t seem to understand how someone could belive that the spiders should be allowed to live outside.

      Love that reply. Father of a friend paves every green spot in his property with stone floorings step by step for years now and sprays ant poison everywhere. He’s really really pissed about them ants minding their own business (like… just normal ants, not even fire ants or smth).

      My response is always a “the fucking audacity of those ants. Building their colony just right there in the ground outside! Don’t they know this is your property?!”

      … My comments on this topic are generally not very well received.
