I saw this scorpion on my wall the other day

I was super close to it, putting my hand next to it for size comparison. I also recorded him because he was in the open & easy to see.

Then when I was outside smoking, I saw a cockroach by my feet & I jumped 😂
My brothers gf was like "Kill it! Kill it" & I was like "I'm trying!" But I didn't kill it. When it started running again I jumped out the way 🤣

She was like "this is so funny 🤣 I never thought I'd see you scared of anything. You weren't bothered by that scorpion earlier"

Idgaf though I'm terrified of roaches 😬 spiders scorpions, them buggies don't bother me. We cool. But roaches 🤮

I'll step on them but even that takes courage for me 😅 because in my head I'm thinking "what if he dodges it, then he counterattacks & runs up my leg? I have no defense for that"
Shits scary bruh.

But here's the lil scorpion homie if anyone wants to see him do his thing 🤙 he out here pimpin' these hoes you know how it goes

Roaches are about the only non human creature I hate. All else is fine.

@Miram including giant hissing cockroaches?

Miram · 31-35, F

@deadgerbil all types. I don't like them.

ChiefJustWalks · 26-30

@Miram I want them all to die. When I see one, its tough because I don't want them to live & I gotta kill them.. but I'm scared of them so it's an internal fight every time 😂

I have the same fear of roaches. More of disgust and paranoia that it can evade and run on me! 😩

@ChiefJustWalks Reminds me of one time i was out with some friends having some food and drinks, i spotted one roach scurrying toward our bench. It was outdoors at night, and there were other people around.
I literally jumped up from the bench seat and began stomping the ground, hoping the roach would turn around and run the other way.

My friends did not seem phased by the roach and were all looking at me like i am some mad man. Admittedly i did look like a mad man stomping all over like a russian dancer. They just looked at me and said "dude wtf is wrong with you" while laughing, and i screamed out " IT IS THE DEVIL" .. 😄

All the other people there thought i was a nutcase obviously. So embarrassing 😅

ChiefJustWalks · 26-30

@SW-User that sounds hilarious but I've done that many times... I think I have a slightly more embarrassing one 😅 once when I was like 8 or so, this girl dropped a roach down my shirt & I freaked out & punched her in the stomach.

Knocked the wind out of her & I felt bad instantly... after I shook the roach out in a panic of course. I apologized & we became friends after that. Later it turned out she had a crush on me 🤷 kids lol.

But that remains the only time in my life I ever hit a female. I was soo scared of roaches though it was no joke

SW-User

@ChiefJustWalks I totally understand. And eww she actually could hold one and drop it down your shirt. Ughh so gross

@Stark my heart 😍😌 but don't worry.. I kill them but I really do have to use some bravery for it 😅

Stark

@ChiefJustWalks just use bug spray and hope it doesn’t fly towards you. I’ll be in the house with the kids

ChiefJustWalks · 26-30

@Stark when I see one fly I be hiding too 👀 tryna sneak up on them & shit 😂
But spray ain't enough I gotta stomp that foo & make sure his body is disposed of lol.. y'all will be safe 🙏

DearAmbellina2113 · 41-45, F

I've been in AZ for 5 months and haven't seen a scorpion yet. NOT THAT I WANT TO!!! I just expected to have seen one by now. Lol

ChiefJustWalks · 26-30

@DearAmbellina2113 they're not out in our colder seasons. But now that it's summer you're waaaay more likely to see them so be careful & keep your eye out 👁️

DearAmbellina2113 · 41-45, F

@ChiefJustWalks 😰😭

ChiefJustWalks · 26-30

@DearAmbellina2113 yeah this was the first one I've seen this season. There will definitely be more 🤙

If you're up against scorpion, it's not mortal kombat, but when you're up against a cockroach it is? 😶

I don't wanna meet either 😅

ChiefJustWalks · 26-30

@Classified yeah I think it's kinda funny I think like that 😂

Classified · M

@ChiefJustWalks I remember when I mustered the courage to pick up a bug with my finger and then when I managed to do it, I felt the two halves of it's shell moving and going over and under each other. 😖

Dainbramadge · 56-60, M

Dude I have a couple of cockroach stories.
I'll skip telling them on here so I don't become a thread pirate. LOL
But bugs in general make my skin crawl.
When I moved to Florida when I was 18 I saw more bugs, large bugs, then I ever care to see again.
Then I move to Missouri and there are even more bugs.
The best defense against cockroaches is about 75° air conditioning. Those little f****** get pretty slow in that kind of weather. LOL

ChiefJustWalks · 26-30

@Dainbramadge I wanna go to Florida 😌

But damn sounds like you have a lot of experience with them. Sounds terrifying 😂

Imsleepy · 31-35

I’ve seen men in black. Roaches ain’t no joke.

ChiefJustWalks · 26-30

@Imsleepy I haven't seen that in forever but I remember what you mean 😅

Keeper · M

Cockroaches are all over the place along the Carolina coast. Not that we get used to them, but you just make sure you have good pest control peeps to keep them out.

But these f*ckers in the video - no no no thanks 😯

ChiefJustWalks · 26-30

@Keeper yeah they really love moist places. There's a canal nearby my house so you see a lot in the grass alongside it. I stay away at night lmao

AdaXI · 41-45, T

They'd have to lock me up in a secure mental institute if I saw that thing on my wall, lolz.😱

@nightjourney holy mama 😂 okay Johnny Bravo lol. But yeah they kinda are. They're more dangerous to old people or babies though. If you or I got stung it would be like a bee sting 🤷 annoying but not serious

CrazyMusicLover · 31-35

I'm glad we don't have either here...at least not yet. 👀

ChiefJustWalks · 26-30

@CrazyMusicLover not yet? Are they arriving soon? 😮

CrazyMusicLover · 31-35

@ChiefJustWalks Summers are hotter and drier every year, it wouldn't surprise me if they crept in here from the south. I mean, there are some cockroaches here but I've never seen one with my own eyes. Only once abroad and it looked almost friendly. 😂

PhoenixPhail · M

Do you live in Texas?

TheRascallyOne · 31-35, M

@PhoenixPhail I think he lives in Arizona

PhoenixPhail · M

@TheRascallyOne I would think there would be plenty of scorpions there.

ChiefJustWalks · 26-30

@PhoenixPhail yeah, Arizona 👌 I know Texas has a lot of them too. They be wild out here man

ExtremeNext · 31-35

I eat them for a snack 💪

ChiefJustWalks · 26-30

@ExtremeNext scorpions or roaches?

ExtremeNext · 31-35

@ChiefJustWalks roaches they are nice if you fry them

Minxxy8o · 41-45, F

Omg...chills down my spine..🦂🕷

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

It's funny how people are more scared of spiders than scorpions, even though scorpions are basically armored battle spiders.

Cockroaches, though? They're disease-ridden spawn of Satan.

ChiefJustWalks · 26-30

@LordShadowfire well yeah, I don't wanna touch either of them really 🤷 but neither of them scare me. Scorpions are definitely the more dangerous ones though 😅 at least usually.

Roaches can go to hell 😤

I don’t like either scorpions or cockroaches, but there have been multiple occasions that I’ve had to pick them up with my hand. The scorpion bit me a few times in the process

bijouxbroussard · F

I totally understand that. I posted a story about my new accountant who ran out of her office and left me sitting there alone because there was a big bug on the wall. I could hear her begging her coworkers (all women) to come in and kill it. None of them would, they were even considering stopping some man outside and asking him to take care of it.
So I got up and killed it, tossed it in the trash.
