How to Remove a Cricket from the Shower

One day, upon first stepping into the shower, you may notice a struggling cricket of, say, two inches diameter, making it unquestionably the largest cricket you have ever seen in your life. After identifying it as such, you may choose to loose a shriek or some other rapid exhalation before finding a towel and staggering out of the bathroom to think through the situation. Follow these steps:

1. Put on a robe or something. Tackling any insect in the buff is leaving yourself unnecessarily vulnerable.

2. Locate a window or door that opens to the outdoors. You may not enjoy sharing your shower with a cricket, but that's no reason to end his abnormally large life.

3. Find an object that is long enough to cradle the insect without using your hands to touch it. Perhaps this goes without saying, but because the insect entered your life with no warning, you are not mentally prepared to grasp it with your bare hands.
Recommendations: A magazine might work, but the best possible solution here is a toilet brush and its container. The toilet brush can serve as an extended hand to "coax" the creature into the container.

4. Wrangle the cricket.

5. Transport it to the nearest window or door, arms fully extended so as to prevent contact with the cricket.

6. Open window and dump the cricket.

7. Resume shower, now with a sense of the unexpected and the ridiculous that prevails in you, even after so many years of claiming to not be afraid of bugs.
