Speaking of roaches...apparently they just sprayed here at work cause there are some big nasty freaky bastards crawling out and dying all over the place. Just saw one at least an inch and a half long dead on its back by the fax machine nobody wants to touch.
Yeah either earwig or earwick. I remember an episode of The Night Gallery where someone put one in the ear of some poor dude and it supposedly crawled all the way through his brain and came out the other ear.
A really drastic method for cleaning out earwax if you ask me.
I live in Bug Central, and outside of the house we got it all.
Lots of Centipedes, Earwigs and Spiders of various sizes and skills.
Some spiders are even aggressive and will Jump AT YOU when you come after them.
I don't mind spiders, roaches, earwigs nearly as much. Anything that moves in a slow or predicable pattern is okay with me, because I can just smush it.
But crickets, or these hairy psycho centipdes, they just freak me RIGHT out. Just when you go to step on it, it moves, and almost always ends up ON you, or closer than it was before!!! Gahhhh!!!!!! :running and screaming through house:
I'm a very twitchy and nervous person as it is - jumpy and highly ticklish.
When I am falling asleep (less so lately, but it was bad when I was younger), I usually feel like bugs are crawling all over me.
I've learned to just ignore the feeling and go to sleep.
But one night when I was in high school I swore I felt something on my face - I brushed it aside and it was something cold and leggy.
It was on my hand and I flung it across my room and then heard it crinkle away over the magazines and papers on my floor - made me want to puke.
I hate bugs, and I seem to be a magnet for them - I get tons of mosquito bits and spider bites.
Fortunately here there are very few mosquitos - but the ones I do get leave huge welts - presumably because my body is like "what the fuck? this is new... time to swell"
Zero, don't even joke!! It almost happened already. Lying in bed, I heard a "tic" on the pillow next to me... turned on the bedside lamp and guess what was about 1 foot from my face? SICCKKKKK!!! I went from horizontal to vertical in .0004 seconds, and pulled a muscle in my back in the process. (This was in a different apartment though), I slept at my friends place for the remaining week of school and never went back there.
I hate ants. They're bastards. They literally try to eat you. They arent biting you for self defense, or stinging you because you invaded their space, they're actually trying to make a meal of you!
