So, this started out as a blog (and still is) but the more I thought about it I really want some people's input about whether or not I'm being dramatic, and if this is something that can be fixed or not.
I'm sure some of you are going to think that I'm being a princess about it, but seriously....ew.
So...
Many of us know how I feel about bugs - they're fucking gross and there is absolutely no reason whatsoever that they should want to be anywhere near me or my apartment. And yet, this morning as I was getting out of the shower, I leaned down to pick up my bath mat and pull my hair off the drain, when all of a sudden, right next to my drain, I see one of these bitches...
...which happens to be almost the exact same color that my hair is when it's wet, so I almost GRABBED IT thinking it was hair
Once I realized what it was, I froze for about 10 seconds, used an empty conditioner bottle to pull my hair away from the drain, pulled the little metal thinggie out so my drain became a big gaping hole and turned the water on. Now, I had assumed this bitch was dead because when I had put my conditioner bottle really close to it and it didn't move, and I had just taken a shower so I thought maybe it drowned or something (don't even get me started on thinking about trying to clean my body with this disgusting little thing inches away...if I wasn't thoroughly disgusted with my shower right now I'd be in there taking another one ). So I turn on the water and this little bastard starts scampering away...putting it's dirty little legs ALL OVER my bathtub
Not to be beaten, I turned on my shower (which is luckily a removable one) and chased him down and washed him down the drain. I replaced the little metal thinggie and now all is kinda well...but kinda not. This is the 2nd centipede I've seen in 5 months of being here, and I don't know if normal people would consider that excessive, but I most certainly do! If I saw an ant or even a bee every couple of months, I'd be okay (assuming the ants didn't have a colony under my sink or something)..but centipedes are unacceptable. Do you think my landlord would think I was crazy if I told him to get his punk ass in here and spray so no more centipedes come in? Is two in five months alot to normal people?
God I fucking hate bugs.
