I know a lot of people are scared of snakes and spiders. They dont bother me, there are only a few that are dangerous where I live, so I know how to recognize and avoid them.
Then I moved to the South and I learned about roaches first hand. Holy shit. Those fuckers feeak me out. No idea why but they trigger something primal in me. A combination of disgust and revulsion that is different from fear but is just as bad.
Protip: you can evenly ripen avocados and most fruits in a brown paper bag. I like to throw in a nice ripe banana to jump-start the process (gives off ethylene.)
Welcome to the party. People have been doing exactly that for at least 20 years; preparing for the "zombie apocalypse."
