and why not vent here?
We had a nice ant's nest in front of the house. Red ants. Not harmful, mind you, but the quiet kind that drags dead bugs into the nest. We used to sit and watch them marching in & out of their portals into the underground. The also had exits into the neighbor's front yard.
One day the neighbor gets paranoid and puts a bunch of poison-- on his yard AND ours. Like he's doing us a favor. This feels like rape. Who asked you?
We go talk to him. We say we like ants. He sez they can kill children! There is an insurance liability! If someone dies on our yard we could get sued! We said ok we think about it.
Later that night we go & scoop the poison off your yard. We leave his part untouched. We feel only a little better, because we know the massacre is imminent. We can only sit and watch.
Two days later the red ants are dead. Black ants are coming from all over the neighborhood to eat the bait that the red ants left untouched. Now lizards, birds, and other animals are going to be eating the poision as well.
Fucking brilliant. The apex of human intelligence. I wanna fucking vomit because some people's stupidity knows no limits. No limits.

ps- I'm gonna go pick up that fucking dreck from his yard now. I figured, him putting it on my yard on the first place gives me a free pass.
