If its a reasonable sized insect, I don't want it touching me, or in a place where it could easily fly/jump over to me. I'll usually just avoid them, or throw something from a distance to coax it off its perch. Spiders have never bothered me, but im not in an area that gets any large ones.

I found a tiny centipede in my bathroom last night and a small spider in my bedroom this afternoon! Thankfully I am only afraid of moths ^_^

I hate bugs and spiders with a passion. I'm not so much afraid of insects as I am spiders though. I've never really been afraid of ladybugs and fireflies though for whatever reason. But anything that startles me by crawling on my skin or flying at me makes me freak out and flail about until it dies.

When the spider falls the video cuts up a bit, it's probably fake.


No its not fake, looks pretty real to me.

I work at a Pizza Delivery place in Central Florida. We close at 230 am on the weekends so im there till about 3am cleaning up.

At about 1am all of the other stores in the area close down and go home.

At this time the cockroaches come out. All shapes and sizes. They climb all over the doors and windows of the store, front and back.

You can hear them crawling all over the building.....Just trying to find a way in.

Inevitably I have to open the door to make a delivery.

I feel like the star of a zombie movie, trying to escape to save humanity from starvation.

At first the cockroaches run from the moving door, but like a loud shadow they rush towards the closing light, most dont make it in time, a few get crushed by the door,

The few that get in, die due to the insecticide and bug killers before they even make it a few feet into the lobby.

When I return I park away from the store, I dont want Cockroaches to invade my car. Its not as secure.
I come back to repeat my door dash, except this time i jump over all of the bodies that have accumulated in my absence.

At night they have to be swept away, but in the morning there are always more bodies.

Moral of the story:
Give us a decent tip. Drivers remember who doesnt tip or tip well


Do humanity a huge favor and burn that pizza place down to the ground i can't imagine any jury would convict you for a crime hell ... they would probably give you a medal.


Its not a matter of it being the pizza places fault.
Thats just how it is here in florida, and if your the only store around, then all the bugs go to you

Spiders don't bother me at all. One time I went swimming, put on my trunks and noticed a spider crawling on my leg, so I brush it off. Then there's another... hmmm. Undo the knot on my trunks and look inside, there's a sack of eggs and little spiders crawling next to my junk. I do up my shorts, walk back in side, take them off, clean them out and go swimming, just one of those things.

There are way worse bugs out there. Mosquitoes, horseflies and ticks are real pains in the ass and I have to deal with them all the time when I'm out in the woods at my cousins place. Some times the horseflies are so bad you can't go outside, you'll have bleeding bite marks where ever there is exposed skin in minutes. Spiders get rid of the real asshole bugs, that's why I never hurt spiders, even if they lay a sack of eggs in my swimming trunks.

My reaction to all bugs: "CHILL GET OUT"

Insects are the worst. Even ants freak me the eff out, especially when I'm just walking down the street in my flip flops, don't watch where I'm going, and step too close to a huge ant farm in the sidewalk. FFFF. Why do most bugs move so sporadically? Like they're sprinting in a line and instantly change direction into another line. ffs, walk sensically.

I hate summer for one reason--because I find these creatures in my house.

I don't care they're relatively harmless. I want them out. Fortunately, I have an effective way to get rid of these things.
1) Freak the hell out.
2) Spray the thing with bleach. idgaf if they're on the wall, carpet, whatever. I refuse to touch those things alive with any extension of my hand.
3) Get an oven mitt, 50 rolls of toilet paper, and the largest textbook I can find. I smash the thing with the textbook.
4) Pick up the bug with my ghetto super glove (because I'm deathly afraid that if I smash it just with a magazine, it'll survive and crawl on my arm) and throw it in the trash.
5) Curl up in a ball on my computer chair for the next hour in paranoia.

This is a house centipede. They feed on spiders and insects. They're relatively harmless. They're not insects, belonging to the Class Chilopoda (containing centipedes and millipedes). Centipedes are poisonous and predacious, though the house centipede is harmless. Millipedes + Show Spoiler +

Is an earwig. A type of beetle, that is usually a scavenger, probably feeding on arthropods and plant matter.

For those people who live in North America: There are only 2 deadly spiders that you will encounter. The Brown Recluse + Show Spoiler +

, that can be found in dark corners of the house occasionally. They can be easily identified by the guitar/violin like pattern on the back of its cephalothorax. The second spider is the Black Widow

Really nothing too poisonous or anything you'd really have to worry about where I Iive (vancouver island) so for that reason, I'm not too bothered by most things. Any sort of flying creatures I just open up my windows and try to convince them to go outside. Spiders in my house I quickly kill unless I'm feeling generous and they're in an area that I don't eat/sleep. Outside though, no bugs really bother me. Cockroaches are quite disgusting and I encountered them when I was a bit south in the states. Jumped on them every chance I got. First time I saw them, there were like 20 on this pile of cat/dog poop and I decided right then that we can't be friends.

But yeah, if there's a little spider in my room, I grab some paper towel or something similar and squish it. Big spider? Trap it under a glass, turn compressed can of air upside down and freeze it :3 Works well as long as they have no room to blow away.

I remember I saw a big black widow in my garage once and I flipped the fuck out. I closed the door to the garage and hope the black widow left was too scared as shit to kill it at the time.

The place where I live is safe from the scary shit :p But I'm not really afraid of insects and I never kill insects that are not biting me.

But I must admit some bugs that are posted here are scary as fuck o.0
