Well baws, it’s getting to be that time of year. Going to the store to get some more raid today because I’ve now killed two in my kitchen in the last week and a half after not seeing any in my house for months. I would also like to say that I hate those bastards with a passion that far surpasses any hatred Adolf Hitler was capable of. When I kill one I want it to actually suffer. What other insect that large is that intrusive and comes inside your house? Not to mention everything about them is absolutely vile from their appearance to their habits.

Anyway, my worst experience came a couple years ago one morning when I was getting in the shower half asleep. Pulled the shower curtain back and an enormous palmetto bug jumped out from inside the curtain and ran across the floor. Damn near gave me a heart attack. It was a horrible way to start my morning.

Back when I was a kid, I worked at the neighbor's dairy. We'd turn on the lights at 2AM, and the feed room would turn into a cloud of flying roaches. Or parasailing roaches, I guess. That was pretty rough, but the worst part was finding a huge roach at home later in the day and knowing it likely rode home on your clothes.

One fell on the back of my neck while I was in my kitchen

A roach crawling on you is one of those things you instantly know without even seeing it

fricker got the biggest shoe possible for its transgression

Lived in a shotgun house in my twenties, had one big nasty one get in and fly, chased me down the hall of the entire house. I've had PTSD over roaches ever since.

frick Raid, get some Suspend SC insecticide and mix it with water as directed and spray the perimeter outside and inside. You may see more roaches, but they'll be dead.

My mom had a pair of my cords hanging up in the laundry room, outside their older house, and a cockroach got into one of my pockets and died. It was in the top crevice of the pocket so I didn’t know it was in there.. Sitting at school one morning I could smell something that smelled like death, realized where it was coming from, turned my pocket inside out and found it…

Had to excuse myself from class and clean that nasty shite out…

They’re fricking assholes also. When they fly, it’s like they deliberately are flying at you like a wasp or a hornet.

two years ago in falfuries texas, we had a night time football game that started with sunset and went into the night. At the end of game it was like an Indiana jones set with millions of the roaches flying and crawling. Each footstep crunched 5-6 bugs

Spent a sleepless night in a Houston motel about 20 years ago when there was a huge flying roach we couldn't catch.

Neighbor used to feed the neighborhood cats under his carport. They had added on to the carport a couple years prior so there was a slight gap in the concrete where it met the original. They invited us to a crab boil one evening. After we ate we started cleaning up. I got out some bleach and soap and started spraying off the peeling from the concrete. When the bleach hit the gap in the concrete, hundreds of roaches started pouring out. Big ones, little ones, German ones and everything in between. We squished roaches for 30 minutes. He went and got some Bengal the next day and sprayed. Said it was unreal how many dead roaches he found. Then he stopped feeding the cats.

One of my renters moved out and left a roach problem. I put two big bombs in the house and two in the attic. I returned the next morning and saw only a couple of dead roaches. ????? Well, I looked up and saw a line of roaches about one inch from the ceiling all through the house. Apparently, they had found the zone of least concentration and lined up there.

Saw a guy shoot a guy through a window then I tossed my roach, and crashed into two cars. So they must have heard, they knew someone was out there, they know someone saw. Unfortunately the roach contained the rarest weed on Earth, and the guy and his organization tried to hunt me down. It was a terrifying time with lots of betrayal along the way. They even tracked down my grandma at a nursing home, and I only got away because my drug dealer smashed a guys face with a hot coffee pot.

True story.

My wife had a pretty rough upbringing due to her mother being a giant whore at a young age so she moved around a lot, to say the least. She told me about one place where they were crashing when she was like 8 years old that sounded just like an absolute dump. There weren't enough beds in the house for everyone so she was relegated to a sleeping bag in the floor. She said she woke up on more than one occasion due to roaches scurrying across the floor. But one ti.e, she woke up for whatever reason and as she was trying to fall back asleep, a big arse roach fell off the ceiling...into her face.

She cannot handle the sight of a roach to this day .

Back when Uno's Pizza kitchen was in Fort Worth, had one crawl across the table. Quit eating and trapped the roach under the plate. Told the manager what had happened, and he told us to have a nice day.

Found a baby roach in my soup when I was 5 years old at the Petroleum Club. Pretty sure I started crying at the table

My fear of roaches started long before that though, as my older cousins used to torment me with the rubber roaches as a young lad. Scared the shite out of me. Vile creatures

TJ Quill’s, 2000ish, I thought I had a piece of thread or something from my boxers tickling my dick. I swat at my junk, roach runs down my leg out my shorts. Damn roach violated me.
I chalked it up as an isolated incident at a fancy establishment.
