Get Over It, Already!
Nadine Blackstone:
Disgusting but true, roaches make me cry. My simmies have user-directed OCD because of this. Even simulated roaches give me the creeps. I grew up in Detroit and my family inadvertently rented a house that had a problem. As soon as we moved in, we were looking for somewhere else to be. The Orkin man was our best friend for months. So when they cry about the roaches, I understand. Crying about the dead, who aren't schlepping around their houses and crunching underfoot at 3:00AM? GTFOI!

New Less Whiny reduces the whining so that it will not pile up in queue and turn into an extended chain of whine and moan actions.

I lived in New York City, in an old apartment building. We kept the place spotless, and there were still roaches crawling up through the sink. I now live in Florida, where there are roaches outside. I have never been even remotely tempted to cry because of the existence of some bug in my vicinity, and no, I still don't understand it at all, nor do I think it's realistic, even if there are a few people in the world who exhibit this strange behavior.

I have a bit of a phobia of cockroaches, so I understand the fear part of it. I avoid them as much as humanly possible, if there's one of the household arachnophobes around I'll make them kill it while I run into the other room (they owe me for all the spiders I kill for them) and if there isn't then I'll beat it to death myself, THEN run away. I screech and flail around with a shoe like a big idiot, but I don't cry about it. Particularly once I've killed it, which is what bugs me about the sims. I understand being upset when they're right in front of you, but why sob about it once they're dead? Be happy, your enemy is vanquished!
J. M. Pescado:
I would imagine that since the normal range of human reactions to roaches ranges from disgust to terror, most people are either busy killing or it, or fleeing in terror, to cry about it, particularly after the fact.
