ORIGINAL: camille65 I hate that there was a GIANT disgusting cockroach in my kitchen last night. I screamed and burst into tears then ran back to my bed. Poor owner was on cam with me at the time and couldn't understand my hysteria til I told him it was just over 3 inches long. Jaysus how gross. Poor kitty didn't get fed because I refused to go back to the kitchen so she howled all night long. I tried to sleep with every single light on too lol. It was next to my coffee cup, which is how I know the size. I want to sterilize every thing. Sigh. Now I'm scared of the shower and the toilet cuz they have water and I have way too big an imagination. I gotta pee so so badly right now too. When I was 10, playing hide n seek in Florida. I hid on a roof in my barefeet.. I thought I was walking on leaves. It was cockroaches. I freaked and jumped off the second floor roof lol. I have a horror of those things. They are NOT supposed to be inside, in MY kitchen! pooooooor Camille, I feel for you. 2006 I moved into a new place....thankfully I realised the cockroach problem there BEFORE I had to spend the night there...I was horrified. Where by now I am fine to handle most crawly creatures (as my cats take care of the disgusting version of spiders anyway) cockroaches are also the ones who get me freaked out. I moved out straight away and was even lucky that a house mate in that infested place borrowed a car from a shop owner nearby and drove my stuff to my new accommodation. I never ever moved as quickly as on that occassion, and of course despite being very careful some of those bastards travelled with me (but I seem to have catched them - approx. 6 - before they started to multiply there as well), because the ones I found in the beginning I catched and soon afterwards I went home for 2-3 weeks leaving my room corners in thick layer of cockroach killing powder...when I got back I never ever came accross one anymore for the remaining year I was living there... Also after I had left my parents place to return my mum described to have seen two huge ones, but if that is the case then they were not from me, as mine were tiny ones...but yes, aawwgghh cockroaches are aaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwfulll. Good luck in chucking out your unwanted tenant....
