So I finally decided to play overwatch/comp. We’re on ilios and it’s been a close game. It’s the final team fight to decide the game and while I was playing I felt something crawling on my leg. It was a big a** house centipede and I threw my damn controller in fear. My team started yelling at me asking why our moira was afk and stuff. They’re busy fighting for their life while I’m trying to kill that thing with my shoe while screaming in fear. Sadly we ended up losing and I got like 3 hate mail and somebody must’ve reported me. Moral of the story, real life comes first over video games. I killed it though.

good for you, once i had a nasty spider drop down gently with a thread from the sealing right infront of my screen, i wasn’t really in fear as it’s really wasn’t such a big spider but i don’t like bugs and it took me a good 10 seconds first looking at it in awe before i looked around for something to smack it with and then i just clapped my hands like a seal and crushed it

I am definitely glad to now live in a place where large bugs won’t bother me. The worst I have to deal with these days are small flies and mosquitoes, and even those rarely find a way into my apartment.

Lmao i enjoyed this story. 
Something similar happened to me but i ignored the “crawling” feeling on my leg until i couldn’t endure it anymore and i look at a huge spider on my leg…
Never been so scared. (I ran out of the room and didn’t come back so i’m guessing we lost.)

oh my god what is wrong with you why kill such a majestic creature for no good reason i bet you felt real tough after you crushed the poor animal but guess what you’re still a filthy symmetra main i really can’t believe this why isn’t there a law against this like a hefty fine not jail because the prison industrial complex is immoral so i can’t advocate for it oh but if i could i totally would but i’m glad you lost at least as some sort of justice

San Francisco. There’s not much in the way of grass or trees in the city, and California’s too dry for a lot of bugs in general.

That thing is sleek af.
Mine was a scorpion (not on me, on the wall behind my computer). Luckily I think it was quick play and right at the end of a game. Couldn’t find it after, so guess who stopped playing that night…

Blame the ADHD, but I can’t get my eyes out of the television/PC when I’m playing games at all. My attention can’t be anywhere else. Total hyperfocus.
There’s a joke in my family that even if the world ends or if our house catches fire, I won’t stop playing the game until the match is over lol. I have ignored multiple phone calls in the past over games.
Come down to LA. All the rain we got this Winter/Spring has manifested itself with tons of mosquitos, which brings out more spiders trying to eat them. It’s pretty awful.
I’ll be nearby for BlizzCon in a few months. Hopefully they go away by then.

Unt unt i’m not going, burn the entire house down
Oh man… I get it.
Fortunately, google is a good friend and you should always remember they’re not dangerous in any way to you… just creepy AF.
It’s like a centipede and a cave cricket bumped uglies in the ugliest way… house centipede.
However, if you see them, it means there is another type of pest more common in your home that they’re taking care of (bed bugs, silver fish, roaches, etc).
If you don’t ever want to see them… or crickets… or spiders… and especially cave crickets… get a cat (or a better cat)?

If a centipede crawled up my leg I would pass out on the spot.
