Wife's Op-Ed: Husband Kills 'Gross Bug,' Becomes Absolute Monster

A wife pens a furious op-ed after her husband commits the unforgivable sin of exterminating a spider she deemed 'horrible looking.' Apparently, the spider's potential to crawl into the kitchen made its demise a matter of national security, and his failure to let it live makes him a monster.

There was this horrible looking bug β€” I don't know what it was, but it had LEGS and a BODY and I swear it was going to maybe crawl on me. It was in the garage, but it could have crawled into the kitchen at any minute so I asked him to take care of it.</p>
