    A small roach went in my ear when I was a kid. Horrible.

    Usually I just catch and put them outside. You got to respect survivors.

    I once sneaked into my kitchen in the dark to look out the window cus I thought someone was breaking into my car. Then I stepped on something soft and heard a "POP!" sound. I turned on the lights and it turned out I popped a fat roach's tummy, it literally exploded and all the goo was all over on my foot. Then I saw the half-roach drag its half body under the stove.

    **shiver**

    That was the grossest encounter I've had with a roach. Now I just stomp on it with a shoe. Dirty POS.

    The closest thing I have to a phobia is my hatred of cockroaches. Just disgusting things.
    Those hissing one in the videos are nasty looking but at least they don't run friggin 30 miles an hour like the ones I see in my house.

    Just remember that if the eggs they laid in there haven't hatched by now, they probably won't.

    One thing I do NOT miss about Houston are those ****ing HUGE roaches.
    I do see roaches from time to time still, but they're the small kind where you can grab a tissue and pinch it to death.

    The ones I'm afraid of are the mammoth roaches. Gives me the shivers just thinking about them.

    I work in pest control and our technical director is an entomologist. He has "pet" hissing cockroaches and keeps them in the office. He also has a tarantula in a separate type of cage and that tarantula has been so domesticated that even if you put just one hissing roach in with it, it gets terrified and huddles in a corner.

    I was in Maryland in 2004 when the 17 year cicada boom happened. Good god it was madness outside. Sometimes you'd just get bombed left and right.

    Oh god I have this horrible memory of having one run on my back while I was taking a shower.....ughhhh. But what I'm really scared of is spiders. Especially big wolf spiders....and after seeing this video. I only became more afraid.

    Pretty gross story.. but here goes..

    I woke up one morning and I felt crumbs in my mouth. So I tried spitting it out, but I hadn't eaten anything the night before so I didn't think they were really crumbs. So I spit and I noticed I spit out a roach leg.. it was a small one but still gross. So I'm like oh hell no I know I didn't eat a ****ing roach. ...Well I grind my teeth when I sleep, so apparently somehow one crawled into my mouth and got caught in between my molars as I was grinding my teeth. He was literally stuck in my molar. It was ****ing disgusting. I vomited for like 30 minutes. It was the grossest **** ever.

    I am also terrified of roaches.

    I always tell my friends here in L.A., if there is one creature on the face of this earth I could exterminate wholly and entirely, it would be the cockroach, and I wouldn't even give half a **** about the ecological repercussions. They just can't understand the hate for these things.

    I think it all comes down to being from Houston; I'm not sure if I've ever met anyone from Houston that didn't absolutely hate cockroaches, or at least dislike them strongly.

    Same story as me except the can was left out overnight and as I drank it I felt chunkiness. So I poured the can into the sink and 2-3 dead roaches were in there. So I must have ingested 2-3 others. Yeck.

    There was a roach in our kitchen once and we didn't have anything to kill it with so we just threw coke at it. Killed it pretty quick. So I don't know why it would ever go into the can.
