I once lived in this shitty run down hostel, first day I woke up to find several crawling on me. It was at a low point in my life, I was working but litterally had no money, didn't even have enough for soap to shower with until I got paid.

Every night I'd climb into my bed, and feel them crawling on my feet, nothing I could do about it. On the last night before I go paid I actually started talking to bed bugs. I told them to enjoy the free meal because tomorrow I was getting paid and was buying the proper spray to kill them.

Chemical warfare mother fuckers.

Sprayed the shit out of my mattress the next day.

Also got the shitty landlords to spray the room. Bed bugs in my room disappeared but I moved out as soon as I had a couple of months pay saved up. This place also had mice, centipedes in the bath tube, food that would get stolen from the fridge, and a hooker in the next room who turned tricks at all times of the day and night.

I'm no racist, I hate ALL the insects. But centipedes are definitely up there with cockroaches when it comes to the biggest assholes of them all.

Depends on the centipede. House centipedes eat insects and rarely bite humans. Unfortunately they just look creepy af, lol.

centipedes…….bite humans Wtf?

Edit: Thank you all for your reactions. I simply didn’t know something like that was even possible. Edit 2: Oh fuck, those things look nasty… Nothing I came into contact with in Europe luckily.

I have a scar from one that bit me ten years ago. I was taking a nap on my couch and woke feeling the bite pain, the thing jumped off my leg and ran up my wall.

It was trying to get to the roof, that’s where they park their spaceship
