omg a similar thing happened to me two nights ago! so there i was just about ready to go to bed, i walk into my bedroom after going to the kitchen for a bottle of water, i turn off the lights and make my way over to the bed. as i get in and start to settle, i happen to glance up at the wall across from me. and i see something dark on the wall, lit up by the tv which was on...at this point i'm quite sure i know what it is since tons of these little demons live in my yard...but i hope against hope that i'm wrong. i carefully get out of bed and walk quietly back to the light switch as to not make any sudden sounds...lest i scare the bugger into hiding. after i turn on the lights i cross my fingers and glance up again...and surely as the night will come later, there was this centipede the length of my thumb just chillin on my wall.
i panicked.
i am TERRIFIED of centipedes.
not sure what to do with myself at this point, but knowing that there is NO WAY in He!! i'm going to be able to sleep in that bedroom with that thing making itself comfortable, like my room is its own bloody suite at the Hyatt, i proceed to dial my brother who i'm sure is just on his own way home from work. mind you it's about 2:30am at this point. i beg him to please come remove the centipede or i may have to check into a motel room until it decides its stay is over. fortunately enough my brother is in nice brother mode that night and does just that. he also grabbed a couple of tissues and squashed it. then he called me a punk and shuddered as he also hates centipedes. i didn't care. i'll be a punk. after the ordeal was over i did a quick scan of the area to make sure it hadn't invited any centipede friends along and went to sleep, happy in the knowledge that i would live to see another morning centipede free...
Ok so can I say EWWWWWWWWWW
I'm glad I had already eaten breakfast and lunch is a few hours away (which I might just skip). Why did you splat in and just not flush the little big azz bug? See big bugs like that get flushed...no splatting for me.
That story was pure nastiness
PETA is sending President Barack Obama a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher, a device that allows users to trap a house fly and then release it outside.
These..I can see using this for for spiders and bees... cuz they don't intentionally try to annoy you. But flies.... I think they have a personal vendetta against humans, and since they know they are annoying, they fly all up in your face knowing the average person can't catch them... and they can annoy all they want without getting killed.
I dunno I was kinda more grossed out that he continued the interview with out washing his hands or even using some of that alcohol gel. I honestly thought ewwwww bug goo in the presidents hands. I wonder if they shook hands after the interview.
that's what I thought too!!
Damn neighbor I can totally feel your pain, I hate centipedes almost as much as I hate heights. Luckily they usually go it alone I don't think I've ever seen more than one at one time.
I got one better for you.....you ever get the feeling something is crawling on you? well a few years ago I got that feeling at night while trying to sleep and I got up, turned on the light and moved the blanket and there is the little bugger. It was CRAWLING ON ME!! man that freaked me out so much. thankfully it wasnt that big but still, bitter memories linger
ok that would put me in therapy.
I hate snakes and we my hubby use to have a 7' boa. He made the mistake of crawling into bed one day to "scare me". I'm pretty sure the ppl 2 states over heard me scream, followed by lots of cussing. I jumped out of bed so fast I pulled my back. It was hell to pay. I should have filed the papers then
