Roaches wouldn't be as fearful to me if they did not fly. I always worry when I see a roach on the wall. I think it may fly and attack me, and run in my hair.
Damn, there's a lot bigger fear of roaches than I realized. At least in men. I don't get bothered by roaches. I don't like them, but they don't scare me. It's spiders that get me. If I am ever walking around in the woods or in my backyard and I walk right through a spider web...ooooh boy. Masculinity goes out the window and I won't go near that area again for a few days.
yup. i dislike all roaches, but it's the flying cockroaches that absolutely freak me out. things are NASTY.
I'm with all of you guys. I have no other phobias except cockroaches. I don't like small, german ones but the flying cockroaches that pop when you step on them are totally ugh! I too will squeal like a ***** if one flies on me and I make my wife kill them.
I'll send my 5 year old daughter over to kill the roaches for all you. She'll smash them like there is not tomorrow and you bunch of grown men are squealing like little girls.
All you pansies afraid of some little bugs should definitely stay the heck away from Costa Rica. In the span of a couple of weeks, I saw in my house: 1. What I thought was a "leaf" about the size of a pack of 100's cigs begin crawling across the kitchen floor. Roach. 2. Grasshopper looking thing about 7 inches long on the couch. 3. Scorpion about the size of a normal Houston roach in the shower. 4. Gigantic spider on my front porch catch a hummingbird in it's web. I have not seen such a supercool assortment of gigantic bugs elsewhere.
When I moved back down here about 10 years ago, our first aprtment was a ****hole on Nasa Rd. 1. In the winter, the first time we had to turn the heat on, roaches came flying out of the airvent by the hundreds. It was like that scene in "Creepshow", very unnerving.
I can beat that! I was in Bangalore, India once visiting friends. When the homeowner opened the front door to get the paper in the morning, there was a cobra sitting on his front porch. They took it as some sign of good luck, and they allowed the cobra to live.
