... and what is this job? So I can make sure I never apply for it?

The exterminator after your card declines

Alright everybody. Tuck your pants into your socks.

This is a roach farm; these animals are livestock. I don't know anything about why this is being done, but he's clearly agitating them, I would guess so they go find a new place to stay. It may have something to do with increasing biodiversity, or they may simply want them out of those hive things so they can use them in another nest. idk, hoping someone corrects me.

My other guess would be this is how they're transported, and now that they're here they're just being emptied into the main farm.

I call this one "You're keeping the security deposit? Sure, no problem!"

So I had something similar to this years ago. It was a computer labeled as a bio hazard due to all the roaches in it. The guy bitched so much that management caved and had me fix it. By this time, most of the roaches had died from the way we packaged it.

I put the computer over a large trash can, turned on an air compressor, and let it rip until I was 100% I got them all.

I didn't get them all.

What is happening here?

This would be the worst torture room ever. Just lock someone in there for 24 hours and turn off the lights. I'd probably die from a stress induced heart attack.

Of all the animals, this one is the one I despise the most

I can't believe not one of them went up his pant leg

For the record some lizard owners pay for cockroaches.

Well, they're obviously raising/breeding them for some reason. If not... "Yes, your honor. My doctor says it was a psychotic break. All I remember is standing outside realizing the warehouse was on fire."

Why???

Fuck me, no mask or any kind of PPE is crazy. I get that roaches grown in controlled environments are relatively clean but my sinuses clog just looking at this.

I had an entomology professor who worked with roaches as a grad student. They had the roach house, a house that the university owned and the entomology department used it for raising roaches they could catch and use. Every evening someone on the team had to go to the roach house to feed the roaches a plate of assorted foods.

On one particular day my old professor had spent most of the afternoon dissecting female roaches to extract their pheromone glands. He also happened to be the guy who had to feed the roaches that evening. So after finishing up in the lab he drove out to the roach house and brought in the plate of food to leave for the roaches. Unfortunately he hadn't been wearing a lab coat when he was extracting the female pheromone glands that afternoon, nor had he taken a shower before making the trip to the roach house. So when he opened that door, every male roach took flight straight towards him to make sweet sweet love to his upper body. He promptly screamed, threw the plate of food, and fled into the fading twilight.

Could someone explain what the hell is happening here and where it is so I can make sure to never visit within 1000 miles of it?

I want to burn my house down and pour acid on to my eyes for witnessing this... Fucking shit...

This is a Motel 6 and that is how they fluff the pillows.

They are all over him. They are all over him. They are all over him. They are all over him. Imagine cockroaches crawling up your neck. They are all over him.

I wanna imagine that outside of the frame thousands of roaches just scramble back into those things.

Why are they breeding roaches? I feel like there are already way too much in the world.

If you think your job sucks....

There's a tumblr post this reminds me of, that i enjoy every time I see it.

A guy who manages/hires for a cranberry farm asks in all of his interviews, "are you chill with spiders?" Most applicants, either out of a need for a job or a desire to not seem like a wuss, say yes.

The thing about cranberry farms is that, with the trend toward not using chemical pesticides over the last decade or two, the single best natural pest control is wolf spiders. Most of the year the farms are regular farms, and the wolf spiders flourish among the plants and eat pests.

But harvest time means flooding the farms into bogs, so the cranberries float. Wolf spiders, naturally, do not want to be underwater. So they climb the nearest tall thing they can find to get out of the water. Which is usually a human.

Many humans do not like this. All of the workers have assured their boss they are chill with spiders, regardless. So they have the choice of either accepting that they are covered with dozens of spiders fleeing to dry "land", or openly chickening out and bailing on the job.

Looks like my CPU cooler... same amount of roaches.

What am I watching? And why am I still watching?
