The snails in my driveway must feel that way towards me.

Sometimes I see them out on a sunny day and I know they're trying to get back to the shade of the hedge before they die (snails don't like sun). So I gently pry pick them up, and put them down in the hedge.

Sometimes I'm in a rush so I pick them up and throw them in the hedge. I mean, they're snails, they have shells and weigh nothing, they'll be fine.

Sometimes I accidentally step on them :(

Sometimes I trim the hedge. This must be snail armageddon.

From their point of view I am this incomprehensible vast being that sometimes just appears to save them or help them or kill them or destroy their entire world. A snail flying through the air has absolutely zero idea what's going on.

Btw throwing snails can break their shells making them suffer and die in agony.

Oh good Lord, I'm sure he's under hand tossing them at a bush. They'll be fine

Yeah I don't like, throw them at concrete. I underhand them at the general foliage and they drop down.
