I can't fathom another reason why cockroaches exist, other than here to terrorize me.
Okay fine so they are the longest surviving collection of species on Earth since pre-dinosaur era and they play a major role in removing our wastes YAY claps woohoo SO STAY WITHIN THE SEWAGE LINES instead of trespassing into people's territories and terrorize them!
To be honest, I really have no idea why cockroaches just scare me so much. It's not like they will eat a piece of me (maybe after I'm dead, maybe. But most likely I'll be cremated, so too bad, roach!), but the sight of them trespassing into my vision field is just, EWW.
So in a peaceful night like last night, one apparently strayed and wandered off its pack (or swarm? Eww) and came RIGHT INTO MY ROOM via the window. I was sitting at my table and it landed about two-three feet away from me. GROSS MUCH? Of course screaming was a reflex, but I tried to do something by totally spamming it with Baygon. But since they survived the dinosaur era maybe Baygon was just chicken feet and it ran away to hide.
And I was kind of at loss for a while because my partner RA was nowhere to be found when I totally needed his help!
Here is the time where internet penetration really saves lives. I put up a distress message on Facebook, and a hero heard it! Oh thank God thank God someone could save me! Although we couldn't find anything after digging under the bed and all, at least I was relieved there was no live cockroaches wriggling in my room anymore!
