When getting up to piss in the middle of the night I sat my bare ass down on a giant cockroach. Don't live in Florida, people

I was in a place once where I went to sleep with my hand under my pillow, moved it while asleep and touched something, then reflexively flung a dead roach across the room. It suffocated or something. I made a noise I would never be able to replicate.

Oof, condolences, surprise roach corpse is a horrible way to wake up

Idk if its comparable to bare ass on roach though. My cousin once stepped barefoot onto a slug while going down some stairs. Squished the poor thing but I'm pretty sure he was traumatized. I want to give bugs their own planet where they can develop their own little societies and leave me out of it.

I used to catch butterflies as a kid and one time I unknowingly scooped up a slug. An unpleasant surprise, to be sure.
