Today, at work, a lady came in to have her glasses fixed. When she opened her case, an earwig crawled out. Instead of trying to kill it, she just left it and watched as it crawled over my desk and behind my computer. I later found the earwig in my hair. FML

Fall

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

And why didn't you try to kill it?

Perhaps it is time to have the office checked and possibly "sprayed" to get any creatures out. Anyway, that was kind of rude, not to mention disgusting, from the woman's behalf. Hope things get in order quick, OP.

That is nasty

and you didn't try to kill it because....??

Thank you! I hate that many people's first instinct with any smaller critter that's inconveniencing them is to kill it. Very frustrating to me.

Instead of trying to kill it, YOU just watched it...... YDI

Why didn't you kill it? If I was you, that sucker would have been dead before it got on my desk!

They're harmless.

Definitely should have taken action sooner. YDI

Better than finding it in your ear...so you both just watched it?

Awe don't be too hard on the customer maybe she was just too embarrassed to kill it herself.

They can't bite the pinchers are just for catching food

incorrect they can bite. they just are to small to draw blood. more like a little spider bite. They are just so creepy looking if you feel one look. down and see it most people build it up in their head. I mean how can something that looks like that not be unpleasant
