Killing Bugs and Insects

As a woman, do you kill bugs you see in the house by yourself or do you yell for someone else to kill it - like your dad, boyfriend, husband, brother, anyone? As a man, do you mind if you a woman screams for you to kill a bug for her - would it exasperate you or do you not mind doing it at all? I hate bugs and when I see one, I'll usually ask anybody else to kill it. Even if I have a wad of tissues in my hand, I don't want to feel the bug under my hand as I squish it. And if it's a big bug, forget it! If I was living alone, I can muster up the courage to do it myself. But if I'm in a house with someone else and if there is a man in the house, I will ask someone else to kill it.

Wow - so many cockroach stories. I'm glad I don't see very many cockroaches where I am. I see a lot more ants and spiders and little woodbugs. Cockroaches would gross me out. I don't know if I could kill a lizard - they're much bigger than a bug and to me are more of a reptile. I would feel bad killing it, so I would try to shoo it away too.
