Alt: Oh, yes. Moths and other such flying insects. Especially the ones with the big, fluttery wings. Urgh, the thought of them makes me shiver.

so we caught one and hid it under a plastic cup on his desk. He fucking shit when he moved it and it scuttled off
The next day we filled his entire desk with plastic cups, where under each one was a small bit of torn black bin liner. To a terrified ex-boss, these look A LOT like spiders

they don't bite and can't harm you? So what's the problem? I mean you eat 5 or 6 a year in your sleep anyway.

It's how they flutter. Wasps and so on I dislike, but they don't make me leap around to get away from them. Anything like moths, mayflies, even flying ants. I have to kill them. Have to. I cannot sleep knowing one is in the flat with me.

Someone on /ot is being a 'cyber bully' and needs dealing with urgently. But sat on your keyboard is an infestation of grey, furry, fluttery moths, their gossamer wings gently purring in the air, and their hairy legs tapping impatiently on your mouse mat.
I put it to you that you would be unable to fulfil your mod duties and are thus unfit for office.

and their legs reach the mousemat, the only answer is a housebrick. Beat yourself to death with it before Mothra eats your liver.
