If there is something in this world that I utterly and completely hate and that I'm totally disgusted at the mere sight of it even if it's on a photo that's bloody cockroaches. And having spent all of the past autumn, winter and almost all spring in my new house with minor disturbances of all kinds, I was in a blissful state of mind in general. Until THEY decided to greet me after 9 months. And of course they had to come all together.
So here's the dillio. I was about to grab a bottle of water from the fridge on Tuesday night after having watched the semifinal of Eurovision (Go Go Go Kalomiraaaaaa!!!) when I saw one lurking behind the fridge. I thought what the hell and I instantly run out from the kitchen closing the door behind me in case the one (or so I thought naively) freaky thing which shall not be named decided to make an exit. What followed was a series of terrified phonecalls to all available friends and family members. When I calmed down I decided to gather all my strength and enter the kitchen with the repellent spray in one hand and a slipper on the other in order to kill the thing once and for all.
I opened the door and carefully looked around the room when I saw it wiggling its antennas behind one of the chairs. I literally sprayed half bottle on it and when I saw it getting dizzy I finished my job with multiple strokes with the slipper. Proud and happy at my achievement and calm because I thought that I had solved the problem once and for all, I went and sat at the bedroom.
About 10 minutes later I had to grab a glass from the kitchen and therefore I made the fatal mistake of re-entering the room. Upon opening the door what do I see? One bloody thing climbing the wall behind the oven and another one flying on the ceiling!!!! Needless to say I instantly had a panic attack, cold sweat and stuff. I jumped on my bed and stayed there terrified and trembling at the mere disgustingness of the situation. Until I heard a noise coming from under the bed. And surprise surprise I see another bloody thing wiggling its antennas making an exit. Ok, I apparently was totally surrounded by them and I had to run for my life. But I was also very pissed because they had entered my bedroom and wouldn't let me even sleep. So once again I grabbed my slipper and with terror I killed it, screaming with disgust at the same time. Thank God, it was only one that had escaped from the kitchen and I had just killed it.
If you ask me I really don't know how I managed to sleep that night, even for 3 hours. The fact is that I woke up all sweaty and trembling. About 1 hour later, and after I had informed almost all my friends here of my problem hoping that someone would be fearless and volunteer to come and help me get rid of them (of course no one did) I once again grabbed the repellent spray and decided to enter my (ewwwwww) kitchen.
I open the door and there they are. Two bloody dead ones lying upside down on the floor. Which as a sight has merely the same effect on me as seeing two live ones. In an act of desperation I called my landlady who came and broomed them away. But surprise surprise, it turns out there were about 3 of them lying dead under the table and about 7 lying also dead behind the fridge. I tell ya, nothing can match the degree of the disgustingness of that particular sight of 12 roaches lying dead on my precious kitchen floor. Ew, ew and again EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!
Naturally I had to call my mom to come down and help me clean the house and kitchen thouroughly because I'm so disgusted by the whole experience that still after 3 days I can't stay too long inside the house. However the question of where the hell they came from remains unanswered. The good thing is that I've consumed so much repellent that if one of them decides to make the same mistake will face instant death.
I hope nothing similar ever happens to you. Needless to say if I see another one in here I'm so moving to another house!!!!!!
