Trade related hostility.
I try to keep my blogs related to business but this is an observation that is somewhat incidental.
People in specific trades have specific hostilities.
The three I have in mind are silverfish, spiders and slugs.
Museum curators, weavers and people in the natural fiber world have an hostility toward silverfish, small wingless insects, that lay eggs in natural fabrics, particularly in wool. They actually eat fiber where they are born.
Maids, cleaners and estate sales people have a hostility to spiders, a frequent source of extra work for them. Spider webs are often a sign of careless workmanship.
Gardeners and landscape architects have a significant hostility to slugs, a mollusk that is very fond of domestic gardens. I’ve seen gardeners throw slugs into the air and say “I hope you can fly.”
Feel free to add to the list of trade specific hostilities.
