Some people have phobias for bugs, u cant really blame him if he's scared. Phobias arent logical u cant be like oh its so muc smaller has no vemon therefore i can do what ever i want to it and not be afraid.
Seems like he has a phobia which is completely normal and just asking from Teamliquid for some help.
I would suggest if its dead, to maybe get a broom or some sort and try and sweep it out the door, or maybe u could ask a neigbour to help u?
But if its alive, and from what u've said it has wings, and touching it might make it take off, which will probaby freak the crap out of u, so i dont recomend that bit, if its alive...hmm...anymore info on what it looks like a bit more, i'm curious to know what type of bug it is

You need to man up and throw the bug away. You're a few hundred times the size of it. It might be an infestation, but you don't know that. Until you do, just friggin pick up the corpse and throw it out.
...then go wrestle a bear or something. You know, MAN stuff.

Thanks for your understanding.
I'm usually not that much of a pussy, but I have a giant bug phobia.
It is dead and I can just vacuum it up, or sweep it out, but the terror still lingers (which, in retrospect, might sound a tad overdramatic, if you can emphasize with bug phobia).

If you are really afraid of an infestation, make it a point to get a can of Raid and spray your entire flat when you are leaving for work or school. Repeat the next day if you are feeling really paranoid or actually find an infestation.

Have u swept it away, or something i still would like to know what the bug is, lol i'm just randomly curious. Its fine my best friend has a phobia of snakes, and anything that resemable a snake like form scares the shit out of her, and even after the ordeal she still shakes, so dw man. everyone is scared of something.

Well...not sure if you've dealt with it already but maybe you can ask a friendly neighbor to throw it out for you if you have a phobia? Or maybe ask the caretaker of the building for signs of infestation. Seems a lot easier, people on the internet being how they are

lysol + lighter
get a cup of water and hope your wall paint isn't exceptionally old (insanely flammable)
-
or just spray the damn bug with lysol.
-
or throw a heavy book on it. a book you don't mind just throwing away (since you're probably not cleaning bug goop off of it)
-
or buy a cat. cats are cheaper than a new apartment, and that bug is big enough to attract your cat's attention.

It's still there (I hope...) and I've added a picture as well.
As soon as my neighbour is back, I'll ask her if she noticed something queer about insects in the building.

I saw the pic, its not very clear like u said. Too bad no one has invented an internet thing where u scan pics and it searched the internet for them (unless i've missed it, btw the ones in moives dont count)

Kill it, cook it and eat it. If you've only seen one I wouldn't worry about it at all. If there's more, there are services dedicated to dealing with these little fuckers.

Just knowing it's not a roach would help so much...

Cockroaches are known for hissing

Since you can't provide us with a better picture you will have to do your own research.

The antennae are an important sensory organ for the roaches, I'd expect these to be relatively long like on the picture.

Here's something on german roaches.

It isn't an infestation until you see more types of the same bug ..... You will do fine get a glove or something and use a toilet paper and cover it and throw it outside of the window .
|
It doesn't appear to be a cockroach so honestly, kill it and move on with your life.
If you are really worried, take a high resolution picture and see if you can get in contact with a local entymologist at a university or museum. Idk what types of programs Germany has, but if your county/region has a local horticulture specialist that would probably be the best person to contact.
Unless you get like 2 or 3 more in your apartment in a short timespan you don't need to worry about an infestation. I'm guessing it's some type of bumblebee or cicada that just got stuck in the building and ended up in your unit somehow. Calm down and move on with your life.

Just a small correction about bumble bees - it seems they don't even make that deep sound with their wings, but just with the wing muscles, so they normally do it even when not flying as a warm up. You can hear the sound here, to compare:

and here are a couple of pictures:

As TheToast noted it's very common for a random bumble bee or similar bug to find itself accidentally in someone's house, especially in the beginning of the spring.
