"I still don't get how u can kill rats but ur afraid of roaches." -- elijah
This is how it started...
When I was at fifth grade I was lying on the ground playing Honoo no Toukyuuji Dojji Danpei on my SEGA Mega Drive, my little sister (was 6 years old back then) was sitting next to me watching me playing. She told me she saw something next to the TV table. I didn't pay any attention, my concentration was all in the game.
Time passes by, suddenly I felt like my foot is sweating but that sweat is going up my foot rather than dropping down my foot. I changed my position to find myself in a situation nobody would want to be in. That thing crawled up my boogie pants and reached all the way up to my knee!
*lots and lots of undisclosed drama*
And that's how the phobia started. For a whole year after that incident I wore nothing but shorts. Even at school I used to fold my pants up to my knees because whenever I feel sweaty feet my life goes dark!
Ever since that happened I have acquired an amazing ability to detect roaches... There's a certain smell, whenever I smell it I can tell there's a roach lying around somewhere in that room. (some people know exactly what I'm talking about)
Funny thing is, since the incident till this day (and maybe forever) I never sleep without precaution measures. I always have insecticides within reach and bring exterminators on annual basis.

aaaaah..I see you were another victim to the addictive SEGA MEGA DRIVE. I wonder if you can sue Sega for your phobia :P
It's called, "Arrumya almultahibaaaaa!!!" >:O
They are disgusting thing that have no purpose in life.
And thank you for selecting Mega Drive over SNES, in those days, it was the best time in videogame history, thanks to a healthy competition and the nonexistence of Sony or Microsoft in the gaming field.
Oh you poor thing!!!
You should seek therapy. You know, for post-traumatic shock and all ;)
So next time I feel something in my room I should give you a call :P (joke)
Borax! Borax kills roaches and is safe for humans. I lived in Florida. Roaches give me the total creeps, I hate them. It's visceral. They give me shudders.
u poor baby!!
come here gimme a hug
hamza:
Great idea! *goes to sue SEGA*
3baid:
I know but it sounds much cooler in Japanese. :D
elijah:
Those flying ones are the ultimate nightmare! Even thinking of them makes me shudder!
A funny fact I read somewhere about those in particular... it's said that flying roaches are females looking for mating!
kj:
True. Another funny, yet disturbing, fact about roaches is that they don't get affected by nuclear radiation!
Why? I love SONY and I think it's the ultimate console ever. :/
kinan:
After that incident my mom took me to a couple of sessions, no kidding. Nothing worked. Hence I don't believe in psychotherapy.
amu:
Sure, I'll come and smell around. :P
Once you know that smell you'll be definite there's a roach around somewhere.
intlxpatr:
Likewise. :(
Thanks for the tip.

*hugs*
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW ! I have no idea what would I do if it happened to me ! oh my god ! I hate those things they are gross!
The PS2 is brilliant (in its second half of its life), I have to agree. It appealed well to both Japanese and American markets (RPG vs Action/Sports)
I currently posses an X360 and not planning on getting a PS3. After Square lost most of its staff (and they are working on stuff for the X360) I don't see it worth buying a PS3.
But we will see :P
Alllaah! Sega was my favorite!
PS:Allah e3eenik 3ala ma ibtalak ;P
"rubs goose bumps" :\
I don't know how you survived this! i once touched its leg and i wanted to cut my whole hand for good! :\
I think i should hire you sometime before buying a house :P
similar situation happened with me at age 6 but with an ant, no phobias il7amdilah ;P wila chan ma akhalis LOL
i'm too afraid of them i won't even go near them to kill them.AAnd i know about the smell :P
I thought my husband was weird cuz he can "smell" roaches,

Snakes are poor things. Roaches are el bastardos.

Huh?! That should make you think otherwise about your husband, we're not weird! You should go through a smiliar experience to know the smell. :/
