Miscellaneous: Today, I was taking a final exam and I reached into my pocket...

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

Today, I was studying for a big test I have next Tuesday in my room. I heard a creak in my ceiling but assumed it was nothing as my house is old. Thirty seconds later something fell from my air vent directly onto my head. It was a giant cockroach. FML

Today, I was playing my guitar and felt something like an itch under my foot, so I attempted to scratch it by rubbing against the floor. The big cockroach made a very distinct "crunch". FML

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

Today, I woke up in the middle of the night to go pee. While in the bathroom, I felt something move inside my shirt but just ignored it, thinking it was my shirt brushing on something. Something moved again. I ripped my shirt off to reveal a massive cockroach inside my shirt. FML

Today, I walked out the back door of my place of employment and looked down to see a huge cockroach. This is quite a normal occurrence, so I thought nothing of it until I realized it was struggling to drag the corpse of one of its friends into the building. FML

Today, I got up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water. I felt something get caught in my throat so I coughed and spluttered a bit. When I turned on the lights I discovered I'd coughed up a cockroach. 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, I found a roach in my takeaway. I found it after I felt something hard in my mouth and spat pieces of it back out onto my plate. FML

Today, I went to put my coat on to go out. I put my hand in my pocket, not knowing there was a mouse sleeping in there. I squeezed it, it bit me and ran off. FML

How could you not feel something living in your pants?? OMG I would have died. After having a panic attack. FYL indeed.

just like everyone else here has suggested, that is disgusting. maybe if you actually washed your clothes every now and then that wouldn't happen. what an idea!

Actually I'm not so much wondering about a cockroach in your pocket, because I can totally see this happen if he had his pants somewhere in his room and the roach just wandered in there... I was more wondering why he carries around pencils in his pocket :D

haha! and the win goes to #45 :D But, OP: How could you not have known that a cockroach was in your pocket? Wouldn't you feel it, before you reached your hand into it?

when's the last time you washed your clothes? you'd have to be extremely dirty for a cockroach to get anywhere near your pocket. just one notch below from not caring that it was in your pocket at all.

Either that's some bad luck or you need to clean!

Grooooss... I would have felt extremely grossed out... Generally bugs/beetles (whatever cockroaches go under) don't bother me, but if I /touch/ one... That's it.
