We use to have a mouse that lived in our apartment. We never saw any droppings or anything chewed up so I figured he was alright by us.

We tried to trap him so many times in a live trap. I read that you could get a trash can and put peanut butter and/or oatmeal at the bottom with books stacked up to the lip of the can. He was suppose to go up the books like steps and fall in to eat the food. I wake up the next morning with H yelling, "Come get your crazy shiit out of the house! You've invited a huge trail of ants!!" I can't believe he puts up with everything I put him through. lol.

Mousey, aka Ralph, would come out if we were really quite and go in the chin room. I always wondered if he was terrified of us because it probably looked like we trapped his friends and turned them into huge monsters.

I don't mind spiders either unless they are huge and they travel extremely fast or fucking jump. Those are somewhat scary - mostly because you can't predict what they'll do.

Steph0871 · January 2012

Wait. Have people not heard that before? About stepping on cockroaches. My grandparents in FL used to always yell at us if we would. And they told us that all the time when I was in El Salvador.

Steph0871 · January 2012

I've told you guys about the first time I drove after getting my license, right??

I was driving past the zoo in town, which has a few lakes and therefore a TON of Canadian Geese. Welll.... one tried to fly across the road, in front of my car. I tried to stop, but uh, yeah. I was so freaked out I just kept driving until I got home. I had chunks of feathers and stuff in my front grill.

The worst part though? There was a family of little kids hanging out on the side of the road feeding the geese, and they totally saw it all. oops.

I hate that feeling when you know you're going to hit something. I ran over a duckling once and I wanted to just die. He just came out of nowhere! And the deer I hit - motherfucking dumbest animal ever. I saw him standing in the ditch so I let my foot off the gas, but he looked up, saw me, and fucking ran right in front of me. BLAM.

I shivered when I <em>read</em> 'house centipede'. For some reason I hate them more than I hate any other bug. I take spiders, beetles, and anything else outside no problem but those are on another level entirely. We don't have them where I live now, but they would show up all the time in my parents house. When I was in high-school, if my mom trapped one in a cup (we never kill bugs) she would chase me with the cup. :(

Hello!

On my first driving test I failed after being in the car for less than a minute. I turned onto the wrong side of a four lane highway. My instructor was like "Yeah... you can kill someone with this mistake so, we're going to have to go back."

Jef killed a spider on the wall of our garage, and there is now permanent spider splatter just above the garage door opener. Live spiders are much tidier than dead ones.

<div>When I was doing my undergrad, I'd take these back country roads to go to my parents on the weekends to do laundry. One night I was speeding right along and then right in front of me were 20 elk on the road and another 30 in the orchard right next to it. I slammed my brakes on and the elk just looked at me like "eh dumbass human" and luckily I didn't hit them or I would have been SOL.</div>
