Do you guys have any phobias of any kind?
I'm deathly afraid of cockroaches, to the point of tears and yelling, running etc.. I just had one brush up against my foot a few hours ago and I made someone else go and kill it. I ended up getting angry at said person for playing around with it's body while it was stunned from the shoe...
I can remember a few times where I jumped up on furniture and I could feel my heart beating so fast...
This very last time, this cockroach was right next to my HHKB...
Why can't cockroaches just leave me alone...
Let me make you even more paranoid! This is your warning to stop reading.
About 3 years ago, I was on my computer minding my own business with my foot resting against the wall. I suddenly felt a little tickle up my leg but I thought it was just my leg hair rubbing against my sweatpants. A few moments later, I felt it again a bit further up.. that's when I knew. I got out of my chair so fast and literally started beating the **** out of my leg to kill the cockroach LOL. A few beatings later and the dead cockroach falls out my pant leg. The only thing worse than a live cockroach is the smell of a dead cockroach, ugh. Mind you, this wasn't your teeny 1 inch roach. The suckers we have here are maybe 2-3 inches and they FLY. THEY ****ING FLY.
Anyway, after that whole ordeal I was fine but I had to take a shower because it the thought of roach guts flying around my leg disgusted me so much.
Come night time, I'm relaxing again, foot on wall again, and again I felt that familiar tickle. "No. ****ing. Way", I thought. **** ME THERE'S ANOTHER ****ING GIANT COCKROACH CRAWLING UP MY LEG AGAIN. This time I take off my pants and start stomping on that **** for like 5 minutes straight. I get my sweatpants and shake them out and, lo and behold, another giant cockroach falls out.
I no longer rest my feet on the walls.
