Your Questions About Court Shoes Squash

Carol asks…

Why do people think it's wrong to step on bugs?

I'm 24, have a professional job, and I still tend to flatten a bug if I see it crawling around my feet. If I'm playing tennis and I see one on the court, I'll be honest: I'll probably slide my foot over it to squash it. I've never had a problem stepping on them, even throughout college, and I've stepped on a lot of them over the years. I know that some people consider it wrong, but it seems pretty normal to me. Most of my male friends don't think twice about planting a foot over some busy anthill on the sidewalk, nor do I, and I've done that plenty of times. Hell, the more exoskeletons gunked up on my shoe, the better. I can definitely think of more painful ways for a bug to die than getting instantly crushed beneath the treads of a gigantic sneaker. Why would it be wrong? The rationale of "I do it because I can" might be the one used by bullies, and it holds true for me I think. Does that mean I view bugs as less significant than me? Well, yeah I guess I do. But is that necessarily wrong? I don't personally think so, it's an advantage of being bigger.

Our pick of the answers:

I think to go out of your way to kill bugs that are not hurting you in any way shows you have some inferiority issues. If the bugs are in your home or are trying to bite you, it's a different story.

Well, yeah I guess I do. But is that necessarily wrong? I don't personally think so; my pinky toe is bigger than most of them.

Our pick of the answers:

Well would you want someone to crush you? No, didn't think so. It's one thing if you step on bugs by accident, or if they're in your home, but to do it deliberately it's just wrong and cruel. Bugs have lives and families too.
