Cockroach stories

It's the south.

Roachs are everywhere. It happens.

Omg I saw a roach at a restaurant. Stfu. You saw them in your kitchen sink last night

My grandfather used to squash them barefooted.

sitting at a burger king across from campus when I was in college. Went there between classes sat down to eat my biscuit when about that time two roaches crawled down the wall and across the table. I threw my food away and have never been back to a burger king since.

Few years back, sat down to lunch and opened up a to go box of Canes and a roach was big chillin on top of my chicken. To be fair the box sat in the break room for a little while before I got to it, so it could have come from there. Still did not go back to that Canes for quite a while.

A friend of mine played baseball for UNT and was playing LSU. The team ate at that very Burger King and he got very sick....coincident I think not!!

When I was younger, my family and I went to a remote South Korean island to go fishing. I wasn't very good or patient back then so I decided to go back to the boat. Well, there's a huge rock you have to climb over to get back the boat and it's crawling with monstrous sea roaches. Thousands.

I noticed when you stepped in a spot though, they would all scatter before the actual step took place. "Oh, this is interesting and fun." Get to the ledge part, put my hand on the rock to climb over... They all scatter as usual EXCEPT one. It crawls over my hand, I scream like a little 9 year old girl in stead of a boy and run back to the family and patiently wait until they're done. Too traumatized to talk I HATE roaches.

I used to have a horrible fear of roaches as a child. Probably stemmed from an incident at our house. While sifting through our recycling bin to collect Coke can tabs, I could feel something crawling up my leg. I looked down and a giant cockroach was about to run up my shorts. I completely freaked out and from then on was very scared of them. I'd have to convince myself of certain "truths" to help cope with the fear. For example, I told myself I was safe in my bed/bedroom at night because roaches couldn't crawl on carpet.

I like to punch them bare-knuckled.

My aunt used to catch them with her hands and throw them out her from door and watch them fly down to the pool at her apartment complex.
Why do they alway fly towards me???
