I am now accepting applications for a Very Brave Bug Killing BF (or GF) because I—no joke—just spent two whole hours devising an elaborate plan to kill the centipede I had trapped under a container, bc I was too scared to risk touching it to smoosh it, and like. this is no way to live!!!!!!! 😭😭😭

#mel's musings;#no joke I sat there for tWO HOURS with it trapped #because I didn't know what to do!!!!#the first hour was spent basically just staring at it a) making sure it didn't escape #and b) hoping it would simply pass away from exhaustion lmfao #and then I tried to fucking. macgyver some like sticky paper or summin #by rolling up a bunch of tape onto a piece of paper and quickly slipping it under the container #at the EXACT RIGHT MOMENT the centipede was on the other side so it wouldn't escape thru the opening #bUT APPARENTLY THOSE MFERS CAN JUST WALK ALL OVER TAPE JUST FINE. IT DIDN'T EVEN GET A LITTLE STUCK!!!!!!!!!#so then I spent like 30 more minutes fucking staring at it because my BRILLIANT PLAN HAD FAILED #then I resorted to sliding another (this time plain) sheet of paper under the container #and proceeded to tape up all around the edges taping the paper TO the container so there were no openings #and then I really quickly turned the container upside down so the centipede would fall onto the plastic of the container #instead of being on the paper. bc i didn't want it chewing thru the paper #idk if they can do that but I wasn't taking any chances!!!!!!!!#bUT THEN IT STARTED CLIMBING UP THE PLASTIC 😭😭😭😭#and I was so scared of it finding a gap in the tape. so I shoved THAT contained into a DIFFERENT container #and brought the whole thing to the kitchen sink and turned the water on #but then that made the paper soggy and the centipede got OUT #and I tried to spray it with the.....the spray thingy sinks have. idk what it's called!!!!!#then I lost the centipede. idk if it died and went down the drain I didn't see it!!!!!!!#it was very stressful. anyways this is why I need someone to just do the squishing.
