  That is truly horrifying. I’ve had a yellowjackett wasp crawl in my ear and sting me repeatedly. I’d prefer the yellowjackett.

  My dad has poor hearing on his left ear because s roach got in there and ate part of his inner ear while he slept.

  a cockroach crawled in to my ear as I slept on the couch

  Thanks for the nightmare. Also, hope things are better now.

  That’s bad enough, but it can get so much worse. That can lead to an emergency room visit and permanent ear damage. It’s so fucking nasty that I won’t go into details, but a quick web search will tell you more if you have a strong stomach.

  I had a similar but less severe experience when I was younger too.

  I was standing at the refrigerator looking for something to eat when one of those fuckers ran out from under the fridge and ran up my leg under my pants.

  +1 on all roaches dying.

    Something I really don’t understand about roaches is WHY ARE THEY SO AGRESSIVE AND HOSTILE? They’re one of the few creatures that will straight up run towards you.
