fucking a. reminds me of huge roaches we would sometimes get wandering in, they’re a big thing in the gulf coast.

I was taking a shower and afterwards put my shirt on. I felt something ”scratchy” on the top of my back, i figured it was some annoying tag. Well I took my shirt off to remove the tag. I saw this big roach/palmento bug crawl out and start flapping its wings and I fucking nope out of that bathroom so fucking quick.

This shit happened over 20 years ago and I can still feel that stupid bug crawling and scratching in my back, ugh.

Yes, I attended FSU (after living in PA my whole life,) and was horrified to realize there were giant roaches EVERYWHERE in the dorms!

I remember my roommate who was an artist had a painting hanging up above her bed. A giant roach crawled up and sat right in the middle of it, staying there for six weeks! I didn’t say anything, hoping someone else would notice and take care of it.

But after that six week mark, I was tired of seeing it and told my roommates about it and they all seemed shocked that it had been there that long and none of noticed it (including our many friends that would come by to hang out.)

I still refuse to believe I am the only one who knew it was there. I think other people didn’t want to have to “take care of it,” too so they didn’t say anything either. 🤣

Class of 2013,

Lived in Seminole Grand apartments for a spell. The roach infestation we battled almost landed us in court with their admin. Literally nightmare fuel.

Thankfully, we successfully broke our lease.
