A cockroach ran over me in bed

So, I was woken at 4am by a big cockroach crawling over my head.
I shook my head and then get out of bed and turned the light on and saw this big motherfucker running away down the side of my bed. I couldn't find it after that. :twisted:
So, it's still lurking somewhere.
Anyone else ever had anything like that happen?

edit - Also in Bangladesh, we went to this chinese restaurant, back in the 80's and a cockroach crawled up on the table, so we asked to be moved. Then we thought they'd try to find the cockroach. They did not - they just seated another family at the same table.

Mosquito's are more bothersome to me. I've declared war on Mosquito's. I keep my windows closed from about 4pm until about 9am as that's when Mozzies like to party. I have a great electric tennis racket-mozzie killer thing. It's fucking great - fries the bastards good!
I'm sure there are a few in the building, but they don't tend to come into my apartment. I don't cook indoors so there's no reason for them to come in here. I think this fucker must have gotten lost. If I find it I'll send it to it's maker.

Ugh!
Here in Scottsdale, the city bombed the sewers in different locations. Cool right? Nope!
It's caused the sewer roaches to crawl up the drains and pipes into people's places! :shock:
None have gotten into my place, but I know a lot of people in really nice places who've had 3 inch sewer roaches crawling around! Bleh!
This girl I'm kinda/sorta-seeing is literally scared to death of them. She's gotten a few, and I have to come over and kill them/get rid of them!
F-THAT!
Ugh!
In SoCal, they are outside all the time in summer....it took me a long time to get used to them, and I still don't like them....i esp don't like to step on them!

Oh let me tell about an experience I had with roaches back when I was a teen in Brooklyn NY. I was to stay at this womans house for 3 weeks till a summer job was finished,. The first morning there I went to eat a big bowl of Corn Flakes. Poured it out then added some milk but it was only then did I notice the roach eggs and then some roaches crawling around in my cereal.
I did one of those Oh Hell No and at 16 I got my stuff and left with that bowl of cereal sitting on the table. That was one nasty woman and one nasty apartment.

Someone once told me about a time they were in Ibiza and he woke up to go and get some water from the kitchen with nothing on his feet. He said he walked across the floor and thought that someone had dropped cornflakes on the floor as he heard a crunching sound. The next morning he realised he'd been walking on roaches.

You should have no fears unless you think there's a chance you may have a roach or two or three.

Oh, and yes, while cockroaches are not cool, I remember back when I went to an orphanage in Mexico with my church back in high school we had to check our beds for scorpions. Never did find one, but that would freak me the fuck out way more than a 'roach ever could!

And to the person who had 5 roaches in their bed in a college dorm, oh hell no... if it was a campus dorm, I would put them in a container and take them to the person in charge of housing, and threaten to let them loose in his/her office unless they either moved me, or got rid of them that day.

Those things are the best! Swing away and you'll nail 'em every time. For fun, when my friend and I would kill all the ones in our office we'd open the door to let more in again. Nonstop entertainment!
Would it work on wasps do you think?
re scorpions - when I was 8 there was one in my shower stall at camp, but I only saw it after I finished my shower. (in hill country in Texas)

There's only one way to find out! Honestly I think it would. If you blast a mosquito with the racket and it gets stuck on there (instead of falling off) the current will continue to cook it and make a small "arcing current" sound. Methinks that a wasp would have a hard time not succumbing to this.
Lucky. I had a small black scorpion crawl across my neck in OK once. It was about 3AM and some friends and I were camping. We were all awake b/c of a thunderstorm and I felt what I thought was a mosquito fluttering around my neck. I swatted it away and heard something impact my friend's backpack. I turned on a flashlight and there it was.
Funniest part is that we'd not seen one like that before so my buddy picked it up by the tail with his leatherman pliers and was turning it over to get a look when he dropped it. It was about 1/2 inch from falling straight into his boot, which he had unlaced. He jumped about three feet in the air and screamed. Really really wish I had a video camera right then.
