Um really, you’re making up fake commenters now to support your boyfriend’s bullshit? Because what, you believe it?
You have to understand that by telling you these things – on Instagram no less! – he is telling you he doesn’t give a shit what you think, and isn’t afraid to lose you. He’s basically telling you to leave. He wants you to be the one to do it. He has no respect for you. He’s a bad guy. Truly. Just end it.
I have to say, that is way over the top ?. Dogs can walk on the sidewalks! If it’s broiling hot enough that you can’t put your hand down on the pavement, or if there’s rock salt / chemical ice melt, sure, but just day to day, dogs don’t need boots or to be carried. Sounds like she’s being an overprotective first-time dog mom.
Never encountered baby spiders, thank god, but I just remembered the water cooler at work years ago was found to be infested with roaches, who like the warmth of the motor or whatever. I guess it’s not uncommon for them to crowd into water coolers. I don’t know if there was any contamination of the actual water, and didn’t want to look into it either.
Newts / little lizards are cool.
Yeah those centipede fuckers! I googled them and they also bite. They run around at night and hunt.
My dog, bless him, will stomp on them and try to eat them.
Omfg that roach scenario is my nightmare. Idk if you get those long brown bugs with a lot of legs, but here in MA you get them coming out of the tub drain or sink. Any time I lived in a 1st-floor apt, or even a townhouse, I’d get them. Sometimes those shits are in the tub when you go to step in. Once there was one on my wall so big I couldn’t even deal and went next door to ask for help from my neighbor’s bf.
In that same place, a mouse was in my kitchen one winter. I’m very neat, it’s not like I was leaving food or trash around, he just came in I think because it was cold. I knew he was hanging out in the lower cupboards. That didn’t even faze me, I just got a little catch & release trap and caught him and took him to the park.
A rat in the house, though, fuck yes, I’d leave until the building super could show me the rat dead or in a cage.
My mom would have left and burned the house down. She has a phobia. She’s like, a bug I can just put a glass over. Whereas I can’t get close enough to a bug to put a glass over it.
And then later she had a duck! She came to this beach house we were staying at and brought the fucking duck and let it swim in the tub.
So, this is real: this girl in my high school had a pet rat, and either her mom didn’t let her keep it in the house so she kept it in her car, or she just liked bringing it everywhere, but in Culinary Arts class she had it on her shoulder, under her hair, while cooking.
Oh god. That’s creepy.
The worst story I heard was years ago my friend was in the T station after a Red Sox game and it was so packed she couldn’t move, and a rat ran right over her foot, which was in a flip-flop. Then I guess because rats like to retrace their steps, it ran BACK over her foot again, and she couldn’t move or do anything. I’m a lot more of a bug-phobic than a rat-phobic, but that’s pretty rough.
So my home office where I spend all my time, has a window A/C that was still in. Yesterday I heard this loud scrabbling, and I look and there’s a big fucking rat looking in my window. It was on top of the AC unit sniffing around. And could have easily busted right through that plastic accordion-thingy on the sides of the unit if it wanted to. I read a news article the other day that said rats are taking over Cambridge and Newton MA. I’ve seen them on my early morning walks lately too. We also have a turkey problem.
