Aaaaarrrrrggghhhh!

Fucking insects!

OK, I work at a gas station, and the air conditioning is out. We also have a pretty warm September so far, today being quite warm itself, but, for lack of better options, we open both the front and back doors to try to get a breeze going inside the store, to cool it down.

The temperature inside stays tolerable with the doors open, and with the fan I have, but, with the doors open, all sorts of insects get inside the store. I've had crickets, moths, mosquitoes, flies, gnats, and even wasps and bees come in today, and of course, being a Sunday, very slow, I'm the only animal in the store that they attack.

Armed with only a flyswatter, I defended myself against these hordes, but I'm afraid I won the battle, but lost the war. My legs are itching like crazy right now. Oh, and the kicker is this, after work, I walk out to my car, sit in the driver's seat, and get a spiderweb in my face! Yeah, a spider built a fucking web during the day. Fuck.

1. I'm from PETI

That would be the People for the Ethical Treatment of Insects. We are going to stage a protest in front of your store in light of your willful admittance of your atrocities against our insect brothers and sisters. Thank you.

2. Go ahead, most people in my area don't even know where it is, and its on a busy road!

We aren't busy enough to bother with a protest, so go ahead and protest, it'll increase business!

:P

3. You'll have to shut off the gas pumps

Due to our gigantic bug zapper display- the cross that our beloved insect brothers and sisters are impaled upon every day due to murderers like you. It will be enclosed in plexi-glass of course to avoid harming our beloved insect brothers and sisters.

6. This entire exchange between you two should

get a DUzy in a special category for best back and forth. :rofl:

4. Try using OFF! or some kind of insect spray.

My neighbors said they use it all the time when they're outside. It'll protect you from the insects, nobody will call PETA, and is less effort than a flyswatter...:hi:

Actually, I keep meaning to get some, since I sure can identify. I'm out at all hours with the dogs and seem to be a mosquito magnet... I'm so sick of itching... x(

I don't mind the spiders, since they dispose of the flying, biting things... :-)

5. Try making freinds with the bugs

They respond in kind to flyswatters and flashlights. :toast:
