I'm so petrified right now :(

[angel_luv]

Oh my gosh you guys.

I came home exhausted from work to find the world's biggest water bug on my ceiling.
I am scared of the little roaches- and this is the grandfather of them all.

I tried to get my room mate to kill it but she is more afraid than I am.
I summoned all my courage, swung at him hard but missed.
He fell and ran under my bunk bed.

I am so tired but I'm also wicked afraid to sleep. Why me?

[spurs=bling]

Angel just kill it. its not going to hurt you, i live a ranch and the only thing i would be scared to find inside the house is a snake.

[angel_luv]

I know it won't hurt me but big bugs- and this one is huge- creep me out.
As for this particular one- it is in hiding.
I don't want to get down on my hands and knees to look for it- not knowing how close it is.
I would so pay someone to come and kill it.
Of course that will have to wait until morning because my land lady is in bed and would be mad if I let someone in the house.

[spurs=bling]

lol....i would tell you something that happend to me 2 years back when we stayed at Garner Park. but i'm not that mean.

[angel_luv]

By the way, I rent a single room in a very small house... so unless I sleep on my land lady's couch, I'm stuck for the night.

Sorry Angel! I'm deathly afraid of Spiders, so I can relate!

[spurs=bling]

[angel_luv]

Thank you.

I am just going to have to pray and be brave because I have to sleep.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Something told me not to admit that on a message board.....

naw its alright i'm not making fun of you...things like that don't really freak me out and that is because i live out of town.

[ATX Spur]

I don't like roaches, but most other bugs don't bother me. Only ones that click and then fly at you.

Little spiders I can handle. Tarantula would be another story.

[Fillmoe]

A roach ran over my foot last night on my way in from work and scared the out of me - I feel your pain, I have a horrible fear of roaches. Here are my four methods of dealing with them:

(1) Scream for Manny
(2) Drop the cat on it
(3) Drop a book on it and hope someone deals with it in the morning
(4) Vacuum it

Number 4 might be your best option here - easiest way to make sure it's gone without having to get anywhere near it.

holy mierda! I don't know why I've never thought to vacuum them. Then you don't have to pick up the crushed gooeyness. That's brilliant. Thanks.

I'm not making fun of you (I hate bugs - not to the point of being afraid of them, just grossed out I guess), but...

@ the number 2 solution!!!

Is the cat very fat?

On your foot! Oh how awful. That is even worse than my miserable night.

I have gotten so I can kill the smaller ones... but the big ones. Shudder!

When it comes to roaches... I will take help from anyone. If Stephen A Smith would dispose of the bug, I would gladly welcome him in my house.

My room mate has a cat but he is useless. If he sees one, he will come get me and cry pitifully so I will save him from it.

The only thing with the vacuum is you have to posi ion it before turning it on- otherwise the noise alerts the bug and all is lost.
I will try that next time though.

[angel_luv]

BTW, thanks all for your sympathies. There was none of that to be had at home- thus the thread.

[SpursWoman]

I save my anxiety for bugs that can actually hurt me ... like scorpions & wasps.

I'll take your wasps over the roach.
I can't even think about finding a scorpion.

I read somewhere once that in a person's lifetime, they will eat two spiders while they sleep and not know it.

I am sure anyone who didn't know that is so very grateful you brought that up.

Thanks.
