Cockroach!! ACK!! I'm sitting here in my sister's guest room, and an ENORMOUS cockroach has run by my BARE feet and under the bed where I can't get at him. AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! List your own icky-ickies inside.
I didn't find out that this house has a cockroach problem 'til after I signed the lease and moved in. Oooof. I would like to express thankfulness for caulking and bay leaves.
Yea, it's an April Fools joke but it is still totally unacceptable and freaks me the f*#ck out.Earwigs are the devil's spawn. I'm not easily freaked out but the Wigs do it to me every time.
Flies. Flies. No matter where they are, no matter if they are alive or dead. Flies. Just the buzzing can make me very close to vomiting. In fact, I have to ask Guy to remove dead flies from around the window should I find them because moving them does make me vomit sometimes.
The kitten chases them and that gives me the heebie-jeebies. The dog used to catch them which would make me retch.
Flies. Ew. I don't know if it's some lizard-brain reaction based upon the relationship of flies to rotting flesh or if I just read too many scary stories in which flies portend evil. I just can't handle flies. Having typed this all out, I now find myself unable to finish my afternoon snack.
