Cleaned up the downstairs so I could do work today. There are now 5 flies lurking in the middle of the room, and the neighbors are fumigating for.... wait for it.... waaaaiiit for iiiit... bed bugs. I didn't think people even got bed bugs anymore. The stupid pest control guy was being a smartass and told me the pest-heat they're blasting the apt with is for bacteria.
So I asked him, "So you mean there's a bacterial infestation in the apartment next to mine and nobody told me? I should probably call the CDC, this seems serious."
~no response~
"Are you sure it's bacteria and not some sort of bug? I don't think this stuff is licensed for bacterial infestations. I think I should call someone."
He stuttered for a moment, and said, "They moved here from a high rise and have bed bugs."
What happened to being honest? I hate having a battle of wits with the unarmed, especially when they don't realize they're unarmed.
