Ok I seriously cannot handle

pixiedust84

the bug that I just saw crawl across my wall. OMG! It's one of those long centipede things with a million hairy legs. I literally can't handle it. I would MUCH prefer a mouse.

So now I'm just sitting on my couch and not moving until fi gets home from work at 10. The bug is behind the picture above my fireplace and it hasn't come out yet - I hope it doesn't until Fi gets home. I am usually pretty brave but I just can't handle this kind of bug. There was one in my old apartment and I had to call my roommate to come home and we chased it with a vacuum hose. I slept at Fi's for days.

I love my apartment I don't want a bug tainting it!!!!

Any advice? Or bug stories of your own?

Blegh, you jsut gave me shivers. Im not opening this thread again if theres gonna be bug stories.

pixiedust84

haha - okay so does anyone have any stories having to do with the complete opposite of bugs so we don't have to think about them??

Oh fuuck. Those things are awful. We get them in the basement and that's the #1 reason that I don't spend much time down there. In fact, if some item spends too much time in the basement (blanket, pillow, jacket, etc) I don't like to use it because I just imagine that one of those monsters have crawled around on it.

The worst part is that they are so damn fast. They are next to impossible to smash.

Exactly!! They're not like normal bugs that just want to live in your house - they're totally evil and up to something. Why else could they go that fast? UGH!

We have little gecko-type creatures at work. They'll randomly crawl across the wall then disappear. We've found them dead in our old file room, and if you flip them over, they are transparent. They are creepy.

Nothing will compare to the one summer I was working in the dorms during college.  The facilities staff were cleaning the floors by the dining hall and took a corner too tight, and knocked a hole in the wall.  Cockroaches literally came pouring out.  I screeched and ran upstairs.  And I am not scared of bugs.

I would imagine it would involve slime and a shiton of mindgames.

haha. Awesome. Now I'm picturing him behind that picture having some sort of meeting with other centipede dignitaries planning their takeover.

I bet the leaders is named Tit Sandwich and his second in command is named Vlarg.

Haha you're so wonderfully weird. If Tit Sandwich is someone who likes to feast on tits then I gotta problem because I've got some. That's probably what they're meeting about back there. How to get to my tits.

[Deleted User]

Ew no. Tit Sandwich doesn't eat tits. He doesn't even like them because they remind him of that time some asshole was chasing him with a Playboy magazine trying to squash him. His name is just a coincidence. His mom thought it sounded like someone famous.

pixiedust84

Aww poor Tit - he's had a rough go of it with his near death experience. I actually feel better about him hanging out on my wall now.

Nope. Lies. I want him gone.

(I also feel like you should write Calvin and Hobbes strips.)

Has anyone heard of cave crickets?

WTF is a cave cricket? Do I want to know?

[Deleted User]

Yeah. There is no way I would ever be cool with Tit or Vlarg. They are lame. I hate them both. Are they still there?

Well Tit is - I can see his little antennae sticking out from behind the frame. He doesn't know his time is limited - Fi gets home in 8 minutes and he's outta here.

Actually I see the shadow of his antennae which could actually be just a line in the wood but I'm pretending it's him so I don't picture him sneaking up on me.

It is the most freaky lookin' thing I have ever seen. It looks like a huge spider and a cricket. It also jumps like a cricket. They live in caves usually, but the basement has a underground spring, and it feels and looks kind of like a cave down there. I am guessing that is why they have invaded it.

[Deleted User]

I guess they're still meeting.

Bummer - they're gonna need some coffee. I hate long meetings.

[Deleted User]

Maybe you should bring them some sandwiches.

truegirl89

Yes, it is. They can get pretty big. Some how they make it up stairs sometimes. I had one hop across my foot the other day, and I am still surprised that the neighbors didn't call the cops thinking that I was being murdered.

[Deleted User]

Has anyone ever stepped on a spider had and a million little baby spiders run out? I have. I wouldn't recommend it.

Just the thought of this is making me shake with fear. OMG! eeekkk.

[Deleted User]

It was horrible. Luckily, it happened on the sidewalk in front of my house and not actually in my house. That was the last time that I stepped on a spider.

Still freaky on the sidewalk. If it happened in the house, I would have to say that I would never go back to the house ever again.
