fcgamer | 4,754 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 So to set the scene, I'm standing outside of a convenience store at the moment, drinking a bit of ume plum alcohol. I saw a large (about two inches) cockroach walking across the alleyway, and I immediately started thinking about getting out of the way, I mean I don't want a cockroach getting up close and personal with me. Then, a scooter comes flying down the alley, strikes the roach that ends up flipping it upside down. It's still wiggling a bit until a Taiwanese guy with large nasty-ass feet steps on it as he walks down the alley from the opposite direction. At this point any hope is lost and the poor guy is likely a goner. Just remember folks, life is precious. That poor roach certainly had no idea it would be hit by a scooter just whilst crossing the road, and given its size, it likely survived quite a bit. RIP Mr Roach 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcgamer | 4,754 Posted August 13, 2023 Author Share Posted August 13, 2023 I genuinely felt bad for the poor guy. I'll kill roaches in the apartment if I see them, but I don't like to do so. Outside though, it's a completely different thing, he was where he should be, just doing cockroach things and .... Bam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bam! don’t lie to yourself. A roach is always “just doing cockroach things” just because it’s doing it inside your habitat you built on top of its ancestors doesn’t make it any different than if it was outside. Roaches don’t consciously act out of spite, doing there things in your habitat saying “fuck this human I’m living here bitch”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roaches don’t consciously act out of spite, doing there things in your habitat saying “fuck this human I’m living here bitch”. I totally agree with this. I generally don't go out of my way to go after roaches, unless they're a couple inches long (and I rarely ever see roaches of that size in my apartment). I've got a cat, and I just let him do cat things But yeah although I don't want an infestation and don't want the bastards in my place, I don't like killing roaches or insects or whatever, feels wrong and they don't deserve such treatment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,588 Editorials Team · Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 We don't really have roaches here, but if I did see any I'd kill the fuck out of them. Indoors, outdoors, I don't discriminate. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estil | 1,265 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) Okay, while we're on this subject I gotta ask, why did Theo's BFF on The Cosby Show call himself of all things "Cockroach"? (not to mention the super creepy looking "Weasel" from Family Matters). And I wonder how many times her parents lied awake at night thinking, "When I told our little girl she should take up a hobby I meant something like stamp collecting!!!"

How do you people live?!? In Florida there is a type of roach that is commonly found in forests called a Palmetto Bug. They get big and can fly and can shoot out a bad smelling spray. Since they are commonly found outdoors I don't view them to be as much of a pest as some other types of roaches, but I definitely don't like them in my home. Florida's got all sorts of weird stuff living in it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it's probably the -35 winter temperatures that keep the roaches out of my area. It's also the reason we don't have termites up here and a whole bunch of other creepy-crawlies that the rest of the world has to deal with - if you can't handle the cold, gtfo of Canada Edited August 20, 2023 by Dr. Morbis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
