Years ago (in the 1990's), I was visiting my grandfather's house in California. On a dewy morning I walked out onto the patio and soon heard what sounded like potato chips crunching beneath my shoes. I looked down, and to my dismay saw I had stepped on (crushed), several snails!!!! There were dozens of fairly large snails commuting around the patio. I ran back into the house, never speaking of it. I've felt guilty about it all this time, long before I was into snails (which has only been two months). I still have a bad habit of not looking down where I'm stepping. To those poor snails, I'm sorry. I hope to make amends by helping other snails.

Ah, sorry to hear. At least you bothered to admit what you've done, unlike many others who'd just step on snails and laugh at the crunching sounds they make, or not give the slightest regards. It can sometimes be difficult to avoid stepping on snails in snail-dense areas, but the least you can do is not laugh, or go out of your way to go on a stomping spree. The last sentence is directed at the people I've known who enjoyed doing that. π

A deliberate stomping spree counts as pure evil in my book.

It's alright, I've done the same thing when I was littler. We all forgive you, and we understand that it was an accident

Sometimes I cry when I step on snails and I know that sounds quite stupid. Now I'm always looking at my feet when I walk to avoid hurting any little snails. Don't worry we understand it was an accident.

When it's rainy I always look down as I walk, it would be horrible to step on a snail! I remember when I was like 8 or something, my father stepped on and killed one of my snails, I cried for hours. But it was an accident after all
