Bugs SUCK!
By JCP
If they would just leave us alone and give us our space there wouldn’t be so many products designed to kill them off. Come on bugs, we’re just asking for a bit of personal space here, and maybe for you not to buzz in our ears. We know there are so many more of you than us, but we can live in peace. In the meantime, here is a list of things about bugs (insects) that suck, and yes, we’re including bees and other stinging insects in this list.

They have creepy bodies which end up being used in horror/sci-fi movies, making us even more fearful of their odd appearance.

Why do they get more legs than we do?
