One of my worst experiences ever was this one time when I was leaning back in my computer chair stretching, and then one fell out of the light fixture into my eyeball.
WTF. Elaborate.

If it's those things, they come out of your drains, and it's apparently a good sign that you get them because it means you have good water quality. They're still super gross and freak me out.
Chances are, it's probably one of these things. They run at quantum speed.

Shit's scary.
HAHAHAHAHA
Anyways those house centipeds actually kill other bugs (spiders, flies, roaches etc.) so they are good to have around in a sense...I guess...

LOL I see those all the time at my place. i see them crawling on the floor from my peripheral vision and by the time i get a chance to react they hide into an unreachable location. I skewered one with a pen last year and it was still moving its legs lol.

eeww. I use a broom to kill those things (maximizing distance between it and me) and all its legs fly off. The legs move by themselves for a little while afterwards...

I did this once to a little fruit fly while eating dinner at a restaurant when I was a kid. I didn't have the heart to finish the job so it's little legs kept moving. I was so distressed by its pain and my inability to do anything that I sat there watching it for the rest of dinner and couldn't eat my food. My family was really worried because I was so silent and sad looking, but I couldn't tell them about what I had done because I felt guilty. It still bothers me to this day. It was my Vietnam.

Nope, that would be Michigan.

I suggest spraying your room with bug spray. You know, the kinds you use when you go on some epic camping trek (they say "deep woods" on them). Then I suggest you layer up that way the bug will never get to you.
Most importantly, be sure to cover your head. These critters are best known for crawling into your nose and ears. With that being said, you must go to Fortinos and get one of their free clear plastic bags (because free = win) and then place it over your head.
*gives virtual poop and hopes you feel better*

Don't worry it was gonna get in your food anyways! you still wouldn't have eaten it. Same thing!
Bleh, that picture's gross =S. I would suggest going to Fortino's and get bug spray, don't put up with it any more. I really don't think they'll just disappear on their own =/

Had these bugs terrorizing me last year in Bates. Thanks to them, I'm not afraid to kill anything.
