I’d whack it too.

lol “I’d hit it!”

I know, most people would. I have lots of experience handling snakes, though, and my first impressin would be to assess the situation, then act.

OODE- observe, orient, decide, act.

A snake was moving across my daughter’s boot and we just watched it go, waiting to see the back of it’s head clearly to see if it was a dark phase milk or a light phase copperhead (pretty rare anyway), it was a milk snake. There was a woman there with uis who was yelling KILL IT the whole time.

Different people see the world in different ways, especially when it comes to bees, spiders, and snakes.

Agree. Sometimes hysterics only make it worse.

As with your “bee” example. I’ve learned they’re basically harmless unless you whack at them and freak out. Wasp-types are the worst but still you can be around them and avoid problems.
