I hate mice
 
I don't just hate them, I revile them. If I could devise a way to wipe them off the face of the Earth I would. Even the tame ones. Especially the tame ones. My hatred of mice and rats goes beyond any kind of reasonable or logical discussion. Anybody else have an animal they hate like that, or am I the only one?

edit: gah, bugs are awful. I also feel that my hatred of mice needs some more explanation. See, I live in one of those cold places Brian likes to make fun of in between dashes to the hurricane shelter. This cold place is also relatively rural so there's no shortage of nature nearby. When it gets cold, these mice migrate indoors. I thought I was relatively safe from them being that my appartment is on the second floor. I was wrong. Last winter eight mice managed to find their way in. EIGHT!

The little savages would sneak into my room and find some random piece of cellophane one the floor to keep me up with all night. When I went to the hardeware store to buy some traps I seriously considered buying an industrial electrified trap that farmers use to keep vermin out of grain facilities. If it didn't cost like $50 I would have. I went with the traditional bait/spring traps commonly seen in cartoons. It kind of worked, but the filthy buggers learned to eat the peanut butter off the trap lever without setting the damned thing off. Eventually their luck ran out and they were all killed/maimed/trapped after a while, but not before I seriously considered waiting up and using my shotgun on them. I'm not joking.

I thought I found and plugged all the mouseholes, but it seems that some time in the last week another little monster found his way into my apparment again this winter. It seems the game is afoot once more.

Spiders, yo!

What the fuck is up with all those legs? And all those eyes! What do you need 8 legs for? I'd like to wipe them out of the universe, I don't care what ecological percussions there are.

I couldn't tell you how many legs there are on earwigs, because I hate them so much I have never got a clear look at one of them. If they'd represent on film what I see when my eyes meet on of the little fat bastards it would be with one of those zooming rapidly in-and-out moments.

Whenever I meet one, there can only be one result: annihilation. So far, I've been lucky and each time it's the earwig that got squashed. Next time, I might trample my way into a sharp corner.

Bees aren't animals but i still hate them with every fiber of my being. Why do they have to buzz so loudly? Why do they have to be so big? Why do they have to sting you? That's not very nice.

Bees are the reason I haven't had a tan since I was 9. Also, I'm allergic to them.

Right. In fact - and this is something very few people know - they're aliens sent here to prepare an invasion.

Yes, alien drones.

...Mosquitos. Those damn buggers, you don't know how freaked out I get when one somehow manages to land on me. I've got more than one equation where, when I couldn't kill a mosquito and ended up wrapping myself in several sleeping bags and blankets just so I wouldn't get stung.

Humans. All they do is complain, and build cities, and cause wars, and make artwork, feel emotions, blah blah blah. They're all so damned egotistical, too. "Oh, look at me, I'm huuumaaaan... I'm soooo speeeeciiiiaaaallll" Well lah-de-freakin' dah!
Seriously, though, I tend to be freaked out by bugs with more than six legs (god millipedes are freaky), but I don't hate... just get freaked for a second and then throw them outside if possible.

Raiden 11-20-2005 02:23 PM

You know what animal scares me?

The Cobaltus Skullus, which is more commonly known as The Krylo.

Those sneaky bastards are everywhere. They're small enough to fit in any hiding space, but big enough to let you know that they're there. I'll just be sitting there, minding my own business, when a Krylo will appear from the shadows and laugh in its high-pitched squeel. And you can never kill the buggers. They're immune to poisons, are too big to squash through normal means, and I don't even want to go into the incident where it got a hold of my .44.

You know what else I hate about them? They're creepy, slimy, and.... wait what's that sound. OH GOD NO! Leave me alone, the world must be told! THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU! BE-*hurk*


.............

Please do not mind me. What I just said was propaganda against the beautiful and elegant Krylo race. They are wonderful beings. We should give them money and women. But more than anything, your money.
What the...what are you doing at my computer?!
Quiet, fool!

Gnats. I remember Brian made a rant about them, and he was all too right about how they are. I may not be in that bad of a situation come summer time, but it's still bad enough, because they're just there.

Also, the thing I REALLY hate about them? They never get at you alone. They're always in swarms, buzzing around your head. And they're just small enough to fit into your ears or nostrils, which can lead to even more annoying situations.
