Roaches :(

They fucking creep me out. I hate them. 😢 Most despicable creatures ever created
I would rather a spider....

The other day I was walking out the front door at night, and one was trying to run in the house I guess and it ran onto my foot. I fucking lost my mind. I was crying for nearly 15 minutes. I have never felt so violated & pissed off....



Anyone have this irrational hatred for these insects? Or is it just me?

ugh fucking sick. 😢 I could barely bring myself to post a picture of the little bastards

ARRRRRRRGH! *runs screaming like a little girl off the thread*

*whimpers* 😢

Why would God create such a disgusting little creature? What purpose do they serve, besides sending me into cardiac arrest and causing me emotional trauma..........

That is the only bug ( save the June bug, but they're just gross when you step on them, that CRUNCH *cold shivers down back* ) that makes me want to jump up and down, squeal and go "EW EW EWIE EWWWWWWW". And the further south you go, the bigger they are. GUHHHH, do you need a saddle Bri? 😢

😢 !!!!!!!!!! the fuck.......why would anyone ever

*crying now*

I'm not kidding. I will have a breakdown over them.
I get so upset.


It's really very irrational...and I realize this. But it's just a reaction, I can't really control it.

😢

😢!

this is very disheartening.

*lightbulb* irrational fear thread...coming right up. Lol

♥

They bring out the b**ch in me.

Seriously.

If I ever got touched by one I'd have to kill myself.

The feeling of those hairy legs on my skin would haunt me forever.

I would cry too. No joke. I am scared sh**less of those little freaks.

They move so f**king fast - so f**king fast! - they're the colour of poop and if riled up proper they spread their wings and fly (that's when things get really f**ked up).

Even seeing the dead ones on their back is enough to send me bombing the room with insecticide.

Oh - for gawd's sake with the pictures, people!

EW wtf no need to start talking about their wings.....

😢

😢!

I know. WHY GOD WHY

I can't even kill them. That's how much they upset me. I don't want to even look at them, and I sure as hell don't want to squash one with my shoe...or any other object I am directly or indirectly touching.


They should burn. Mass execution.

Little creeps. 😢

Bri: You just need to look at them from a different perspective:

Think about their utility in the world from an ecological stand point, they eat everything and anything which is why they have been around forever and will always exist... and, even if you keep your house meticulous, they will live off the dead skin that your body sloughs off daily. Nature's maids if you will, they're just cleaning up...

Lol nice try. Thanks 😛

But them eating my dead skin is freaking me out more. BASTARDS what gives them the right to go anywhere near me or my dead skin. ugghhhhh

Hey Bri, you'll thank me for this tid bit -

Approximately 3lbs of your body weight is due to parasitic invasion... inside and out 🙂

Some are eating your dead skin cells as we speak!!

that too LOL

Bri's probably in the shower now trying to scrub them off...

What are you on their team or something?


You would.... /

Be on a fucking creepy as roaches side. 😢

ass*



& I'm not surprised by that correlation. 😢

😢 no way I am following that link.

Lol you need to stoppp with all this royalty nonsense....it's embarrassing. 😛

Posted by KingPisces
You're just jealous since the only title of royalty you get is drama-queen 😉

Haha get real. It's your Highness thank you very much.


Or was it Heinous? Idk...

How big do they get in FL, Bri?

I saw some pretty epic cockroaches when I was traveling in South America. They were almost the size of my hand, and they would charge at you if you cornered them.

:/

And I'm not even joking or exaggerating.

That's fucked up. 😢

They get close to that big here. But not quite as big as the Tropical ones.
I've seen them about as big as maybe 2 1/2, 3 inches long. They made a thud when they jumped :/ :/ :/

lol, i heard they like taking showers?

If you touch one..not that I ever would, I'd be wussy moaning and backpedaling to get out of Dodge..they will go and groom themselves. *shudder* Cripes I loathe roaches.

palmetto bugs or german roaches?

palmettos are just freakin creepy. i hate when you hear that sound and you know that one is in the room. it means it's either flying or it's rummaging through something.

EEKS!

the weather at my old spot was so amazing. i always left the patio door open so palmettos, frogs, lizards...always found dead critters in the most random places but it's whatever...the price you pay for great weather.

German roaches aren't that bad, because they're small....but they do infest and that's disgusting. I hate shit that breeds rapidly. :/

But yes! to hearing them. That's so totally fucked up...I just want to cry

I don't like lizards either. I watched this lizard like attack, rape, and maul another...and I've never looked at them the same again. They're like baby dinosaurs. Little pervs.

BUT they eat roaches, so I'll let them live. 🙂

palmetto bugs dont breed dude. they're like having flies in your house. you could spray them with hairspray or cologne and they die. if they flip on their back, they're done for.

german roaches are the nasty roaches. they carry salmonella and other germs. they're the roaches that can hold their breath underwater for a hour and live through a nuclear holocaust. you don't want them and if you see them in someone's house, "no, i would not like a piece of your roach cake but thank you."

why do i know so much? when i first moved to my locale years back, my first apartment was AWESOME and i remember waking up one morning to see one of them huge fuckers flying across the room. sounds like a mini-helicopter.

the exterminator came and explained it all. they had just put mulch down on the grounds and the palmetto bugs are attracted to it. they're attracted to dead organic material and water. so if you found one outside your door, it's probably because you have dead plant matter or something. it's really not that serious.

the point is, they're not bad. if you have the little roaches, you're fucking dirty and nasty. your house is infested because there never is just one and you so totally should invest in a house tent and bomb them fuckers.

Come and live in Norway you wont see these critters... EVER--!

i abhor centipedes they are the worst

Moved into a new apartment & there were roaches EVERYWHERE! In the drawers, dropping from the ceiling and yes, even IN the refrigerator. Never knew they could actually be in your fridge. Slept with the lights on but it didn't phase them at all. The idiots living around me were leaving cat food outside for stray cats. Guess what else it attracts. The owner did nothing about it so I broke my lease & left before the month was up. Ruined my credit but I did not care one bit.

I sh** you not? This is exactly how roaches make me feel. To a "T".

Hate bugs. Thankfully we don't really get roaches much where I live. We do get these things called clegs though, they live in long grass in fields (which we have tons of) and they attach themselves to you and then bury into your skin and live off your blood. You have to actually burn them out too.

I f*cking hate them.

you never see them in norway Q eats them good proteen

LOL Oh *GAG*

No f**king way! You're lying! That's almost as bad as roaches!

Roach drama:

Last night...walked into the Libra's house...HUGE fucking palmetto bug on the wall. I
t was so big, it wasn't even scared of me. :/ I was trying to be quiet so it didn't catch on that I saw it.


The Libra saw it finally and was like whispering (haha) "it's Splinter! I've been trying to kill that thing for weeks...keeps getting away."

So, he grabbed his shoe and killed it...thing never even tried to run this time. Left a gooey mess on the wall. I was gagging and crying. Lol 😢

Referring to them as Palmetto Bugs doesn't help...

Huge Cane toads? And no toad licking.
