Today, while packing my luggage from vacation I thought I saw a penny drop into my bag. After looking everywhere I couldn't find it. Now that I am home I found out that I had mistaken a cockroach for a penny. I now have a family of cockroaches living in my luggage. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I was taking a final exam and I reached into my pocket to get out a pencil. I felt this thing in my pocket so I got it out and put it on the desk. At first I thought it was a leaf but then it started kicking and trying to run around. It was a cockroach. It had been living in my pocket. FML

Creeped out

Today, as I was driving, a massive cockroach clicked its way across my windshield. I pulled over to fling it out the window, but it spread its wings and flew around like a hook-armed stabbing machine. I lost it in the dark car and now I can't find it. It's going to be a long drive home. FML

Today, I bought a Santa hat. After wearing the hat for a few hours, I noticed a strange lump near the tip of it. I stuck my hand inside to dig out the mysterious object. It was a dead cockroach. FML

Today, my apartment was flooded due to a broken pipe, which caused a huge family of cockroaches to disperse. Did you know they can fly? FML

Today, I thought I felt something itch my butt as I sat down on the toilet. Sure it was just my imagination, I did my business. When I was done I saw there were 4 cockroaches crawling under the seat. FML

Why were you searching that much for a penny, anyway?

Vacuum then up then vacuum some roach spray for reassurance that they won't crawl out! Then spray down your bags in case of eggs

No! Don't do that OP! You'll just end up with eggs hatching inside your vacuum cleaner. Wash everything that was in the suitcase. You need to be really careful with that stuff - everything, including hairdryers, etc. should be considered a possible hiding place. If you don't want to throw the suitcase away, leave it outside for a couple of weeks. You can spray it, but you should also sprinkle borax inside because spraying will only kill the adults but won't help with the eggs.
