VIDEO: Don't get in between this man and his pet cockroach
Would you call this an act of 'love all, serve all' or just a little loopy?
Whoever said no good deed goes unpunished was right on the money. That's not to say that you shouldn't do good, it's just that sometimes being kind or good to someone can earn you an unwarranted reaction.
Usually, when you do something considered kind for someone, you expect them to respond with gratitude. But not everyone is looking to be saved. That's the lesson behind this viral moment that is said to have taken place at Pa Tong beach in Phuket, Thailand.
A woman, believed to be a local thought she was helpful when she flicked a cockroach off a tourist's head. Sadly, she was sorely mistaken. The man, who had a balaclava over his head, jumped up in anger and began mumbling when she touched him.

According to the social media account, Jist News, the cockroach was the man's pet, hence his reaction.

The incident amused many people. Some joked about the man's idea of having a pet cockroach, while others laughed at his response.
One person said, "Pets for adoption. He can collect from our house in Bangalore."
Another said, "Thank God it was not ant. He would have spent his whole life finding it."
Others argued that the woman was trying to help, and the tourist threw his pet off his balaclava when he harshly pulled it off his head. We cannot account for the legitimacy behind the story as it seems far-fetched, but at least the man is against animal cruelty, or should we say insect cruelty?
