I’ll start. Apt next door is having a cockroach infected. 4 days ago, I was playing sims on my laptop, wearing my eyeglasses. Right lens got blurry, took off, huge cockroach was crawling across inside of lens. While I was wearing them. Freak out ensued.

    Okaaay I got one.

    I was with my family in a small vacation house, near a lake. Very wet and swampy surrounding, hot wet summer night, I really needed to go out and get some fresh air.

    Walked barefeet and without artificial light, you know back to the roots and stuff.

    The grass was just verry sticky and slimey, it was pretty weird so I got my phone, turnes on the flashlight and damn… hundreds of slugs and snails everywhere, around my feet, in front and behind me.

    I hate slugs so much, it was the most disgusting moment in my life. Ran very carefully to the lake, onto a dock, to wash my feet off. Slugs everywhere, on the dock even. The lake was full of weird tiny insects racing around, the air was full of mosquitoes and flies.

    This planet can reall, be hostile, its crazy. And thats in a state where the climate is so nice life is flourishing.

    Learned: living near standing water sounds nice but is horrible.

    Also I was on a shitload of mushrooms, which was not a great idea. The grass was basically all fractals and differentiating slugs from sticks didnt make it better. Damn, what a night.

    Edit: this was about Cockroaches only? Idk I never saw one haha, Germany seems quite nice?

      I just stepped on a slug on accident the other day without noticing. I had flip flops on, and the flip flop acted as dead a slug catapult as I stepped forward. It landed on the back of my bare leg while wearing shorts. I was so grossed out. Washed tf out of my leg. My story pales in comparison to yours, but fuck slugs.
