A recent survey of female homeowners found that one quarter would stop dating someone whose home had even one cockroach. Surprisingly, three percent said they had already quit a relationship after seeing a critter! To put this in perspective, fewer would consider conflicting political views (17%), terrible style (13%), or a lack of a college degree (7%) to be worthy of a breakup. Interestingly, the same survey found that many people consider spiders scarier than zombies! The majority of homeowners (69%) said it would be more terrifying to spend the night in a house filled with spiders than to encounter a zombie. This might be a totally unfair comparison, because spiders are real, and zombies are imaginary and only look real in movies. Then again, movies like Arachnophobia with houses filled with spiders really are scary!
