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
At least they're not John Carpenter ants.
muddy bootprints everywhere
@futurebird
I was thinking, "why wolf whistles at the HUSBAND?" and then I realized why.....
<slow clap>
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
@futurebird @onespecificjosh @lostboyjim
(worker ants are kinda ace tho aren't they?)
(Just saying)
@futurebird That was both funny and magical.
I'll be spending the rest of the evening imagining ants in various anthropomorphic situations now.
As brain worms go, not a bad one.
* they keep referring to themselves as Karen and Richard
* You hear the faint sound of "Rainy Days and Mondays" drifting up from the baseboards... 🥁 🎤
@futurebird
* Birds suddenly appear every time you are near.
Wrong Carpenters?
Aphids. Of course! 🤣🤣🤣
@futurebird Moties. You have Moties.
Like from the Larry Niven book??
