Jesus tapdancing Christ. A search in the Bettas forum for the expression “I’m sorry J—” (my standard response) turns up twelve results, eleven of which concern the fish that dumbass has killed in the past two years (the other one is his dead cat, but she was old). May 2005, August 2005, January 2006, July 2006, November 2006, February 2007, March 2007, April 2007 and May 2007. It’s not like he’s got twenty-some fish (in which case, a higher number of deaths would be understandable); the most he’s ever had at one time was four or five, and sometimes as few as one. Nine dead. How does someone kill that high a percentage of his fish in two short years, yet not have some inkling that there might perhaps be a better hobby for him…one that does not involve live aquatic animals? This morning, I actually considered creating a text file so that the next time he kills one, I can just copy and paste the “I’m sorry” message and won’t have to bother typing. I’m sure we won’t make it through the summer without another “RIP (insert name of latest fishy victim)” post. FFS.
