We set them in order to get rid of those undesirable creatures which scurry about in the middle of the night. There are, of course, multiple and different kinds of traps — of the ones which snap loudly in the darkness of deep quietude and which are difficult to “set” because — every time you put it along the baseboard — the sensitive nature of the “catch” sets it off.
There are, of course, those “humane” ones — the ones which do not kill but mere captures the creature with the mechanism of a trap door. What you do with the creature is up to you — but most suspect that when you let it go down the sewer drain just down the road, it quickly makes its way back to your home (often before you yourself are back in the front door declaring, “Honey, I got rid to it!”).
Then, of course, there are the large “traps” — for possums, squirrels and other rodent-like creatures which have created a nuisance of themselves in suburban neighborhoods which no longer tolerate the encroachment of nature. But enough of such rodent-focused traps.
There are other kinds of traps — traps set by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, in preparing, formulating and filing an effective Federal Disability Retirement application under FERS. Just look at the innocuous-looking questions posited on SF 3112A, Applicant’s Statement of Disability. In the end, it is the traps which cannot easily be seen, or the ones which seem attractively safe, which catches you.
Contact a FERS Disability Retirement Lawyer who specializes in Federal Disability Retirement Law, and prepare your Federal Disability Retirement application while avoiding those traps which invitingly are set for your naive notions of the process.
Sincerely,
Robert R. McGill, Esquire
