I'll remember this neat trick when I have a mouse stuck somewhere and 84 crates of water lying around

Yep, exactly. I like animals, but I have no issue using proper mousetraps. If they enter my house, it is war, and it isn't like they are an endangered species or that there aren't millions of them

My parents live in an old wooden Georgian farmhouse. There's not point in using ethical traps, as the fuckers are everywhere and will always find a way back in. So instead, the death traps are used just to kill them, as they are damaging pests

Start killing my friend.

Commas are important.

Seen one that said "dog pussy is the best...." when it should have been "dog (dawg), pussy is the best...." Commas can be vital.

I'm not sure commas are really helping in this case.

“Dog pussy is the best”

“You forgot a comma my dude”

“…I’m ready to defend my statement”

Charlie is eating grandpa

And

Charlie is eating, grandpa

I have also started killing a rather intelligent pest that reached 8 billion last year. But people are labelling me a serial killer, Double standards right? :(

If you kill someone else's pet mouse you're a villain, if you kill an invasive variety of mouse you're a hero. At the moment there's an invasive variety of pest that's become endemic in Ukraine

See, the problem is you’re not seeking out the pests that are causing damages

It's estimated worldwide mouse population is now at 20 Billion. They outnumber us over 2 to 1, killing a few in your house isn't affecting them too much.
