I'm a wimp when it comes to three things: 1) scary movies, 2) needles, 3) bugs.
But let me tell you: I'd rather get a full-body tattoo while watching a marathon of Saw movies than wake up to find another cockroach in my bathtub.
Yes, that's right. A cockroach. In my bathtub.
And yes, it was alive.
I get it. I live in the city now. And as my dad so profoundly said, "All creatures need a place to live."
Yes, but they need to PICK ANOTHER BATHTUB!!
Considering I'm the girl that asks her dad to kill spiders on a regular basis, I was faced with a conundrum at an ungodly hour: how to deal with a cockroach taking a swim in my bathroom.
Obviously I had to kill it. But if you've ever dealt with those suckers, they aren't the easiest things to get rid of.
So, I did what I had to do. First, I freaked out, because obviously. Second, I put on shoes (and I'll probably wear shoes/slippers in my apartment for a while until I can get over the icky feeling). Third, I smashed the crap out of the bug with another shoe. Then, I freaked out some more. Finally, I took a cup, scooped him out of the tub, and flushed him down the toilet it (all the while singing, "ew, ew, ew, ew, ew!!!"). And freaked out some more.
Don't worry: the exterminator will be coming ASAP. Until then, I did a little internet research should I come face to face with the little demons ever again.
