Signs you have carpenter #ants

* keep finding tiny tools
* city sends a very tiny permit to affix to baseboard
* when you try to move a book you are told to “keep this entrance clear, ma’am” because of the “cement delivery coming later”
* Your dish rack is dismantled “because it’ll be cheaper to rebuild from scratch”
* no room on the dresser due to like 85 tiny pickups illegally parked there
* husband keeps hearing high pitched wolf whistles when exiting shower

I was thinking, "why wolf whistles at the HUSBAND?" and then I realized why.....

@lostboyjim I'm so glad someone put it together. Though I would not totally rule out lesbian carpenter ants either.

@futurebird @lostboyjim I can't figure this out. So embarrassing! Is it an ant/aunt joke?

If you think about a bunch of workers doing wolf whistles it's probably more typical to imaging a group of guys whistling at a woman.

But all worker ants are females.

So, LOGICALLY it would be a group of female carpenters whistling at a dude.

OBVIOUSLY* lol

I've made a drawing to explain.

*it's totally not obvious
