I'm not afraid of rats, but I don't like them because they can spread disease and chew things up. When I was a kid we had them in the barn and in the house and once in a while somebody would even find one in the oven when they opened the door. I used to catch them with rabbit traps and my dad would give me a nickel for every one I caught. Back then a nickel was something. You could still buy a candy bar or a single scoop ice cream cone for a nickel.
They totally fucking freak me out.
