I was attacked by ants. In my car.
Okay, not in a Them! sort of way. And not like that Charlton Heston movie with Eleanor Parker in the jungle. More like, a few ants. Okay, and they didn’t actually attack. Still.
Every morning I put on sunscreen before pulling out of the garage. Today, a little black ant crawled off the sunscreen bottle up my arm. Ick. And then, I reached over to the seat for something (lipstick?) and there was another one. And then, about fifteen minutes later, I was looking at some papers while at a red light, and a fucking NOTHER one crawled up the papers. And then two more came out of my purse while I was at my desk at work.
Where did they come from? Is it safe to get back into my car? Or open my purse? I do not sincerely know. But I! Am NOT! Happy!
For what it’s worth, this one time I opened my car door and was immediately attacked by cockroaches.
It was a long time ago, with many outside factors coming into play. But insects in car = I can sympathize.
And then on my desk!
MY DESK!
Crawling out of my purse or my laptop case.
DESK!
Do you have a piece of candy in your purse and/or laptop case?
(No cockroaches on my desk, as far as I know…)
No. I think it might have been spilled Coke in the cupholder.
Yew! Other then snakes, I don’t like crawling thingies either.
Ants are more moving crawlers and they will much easier get out when the food is gone. Or they tend to more or less die when you spray some anti-ant poison but cockroaches! – a whole other story! You can spray them but nothing seems to work. Have you seen how they can survive a microwave session?
There’s nothing that freaks me out quite as much as to find some bug crawling on me!
The worst. Bird Mites.
They got in when birdies built a nest in our air conditioner. Every time we turned it on, their little mite asses were blown far and wide. They’re the size of a grain of pepper (smaller even) and they bite!
You might have heard the recent news that a lady in NY was moved out of her apartment by guys in Hazmat suits. Yep, bird mites!
