Today, an exterminator sprayed for cockroaches in my dorm room. After classes I got back to find three large cockroaches on top of my bed. Now that the exterminator has sprayed everything, all the cockroaches are coming out. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after three visits from exterminators and another from a steam cleaner, I still have bedbugs. FML
Today, I hired an exterminator to get the roaches out of the house I'm renting. I came back from work and went to my bathroom, noticing that he used the plunger to unclog the toilet after he took a dump. After $150, there was shit all over my floor and plunger, and roaches still in my kitchen. FML
Today, when I got back to my dorm, I found a trail of ants trying to shove a dead roach into a power outlet. The front desk insists that there is no pest problem. FML
Today, I finally got some sleep after an exterminator came yesterday and took care of our roach problem. I woke up and kissed my boyfriend good morning. Frowning, he told me I had something stuck on the corner of my mouth. It was a roach leg. Where is the rest of the roach? FML
Today, I turned on my A/C for the first time in a couple of months. A family of ginormous cockroaches climbed out of the air vent and a few clumps of dead cockroaches fell to the ground. FML
Today, my son found a cockroach in his bed. I had to kill the thing and wash all his sheets and stuffed animals before he'd finally agree to go back to bed, three hours later. FML
Today, I was cooking dinner when I noticed a cockroach on the kitchen counter. I reflexively tried to spray it with what I had to hand, which was window cleaner, but it seems to have pissed it off and flew right at me instead. I screamed and ran out of the kitchen, leaving the roach in charge. FML
Today, my roommate showed me a video of a cockroach crawling all over my face while I was asleep in the lounge. FML
Today, after my dad trying every bait, hormone, and poison, the cockroaches in this apartment have gone crazy. They are trying to kill themselves. One tried to commit suicide, by suffocation, in my mouth this morning. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Hey, it's 2012, lady! You can't expect cockroaches to stay in the closet forever.

Those little buggers are resilient as hell. Have fun playing whack-a-roach!

They clearly didn't spray right if they are still out.

29 - You'll usually see more bugs after the spraying as they all come out in their death throes, trying to escape the insecticides.
Zoh_Aubrey 8
Unless they fly. When they fly, they now have the one-up on you.
innavoiG 9
I bet they really bug OP.
lolipop1234_fml 7
Just call the exterminator back in? If he can spray them when they are already out you might get rid of them for good.
blaackandprouud 20
She could just call Tyler the Creator, I'm sure he would eat them for you.

Same thing happened to me, but with spiders. I sprayed the whole basement, later the biggest one came out to the middle of the room. It was like I was fighting the boss at the end of a Nintendo game. I won that last battle, and I haven't seen a single spider on that floor since then.

I'm just imagining the cockroaches shouting out, "nothing will get between us and our love for you!"
FATTY_MCDOOGLE 29
Yeah, usually the spray attracts them, and kills them, or they are just fleeing for their lives.

#67 Hopsin eats piles of them, though.

Isn't that what the spray is supposed to do?
JellyBalls 18
It is actually a strong sex hormone to encourage them to breed.

La cucaracha, la cucaracha Ya no puede caminar Porque no tiene, porque le falta marijuana para fumar ***This song and "Joe's Apartment" made roaches less scary for me. :P

Indeed. It be looking like a roach mass grave.

Cockroaches are freaking indestructible, in my opinion.
lVluse 15
Raid. 'Nuff said.
PleaseStayChill 9
Ever used a flamethrower on one? I have. It's super-effective. They are most definitely not indestructible.
gracehi 33
Pleasestaychill used flamethrower. It's super effective!
lVluse 15
Cockroach's Occa Berry weakened Flamethrower's power!
UltimateGIRness 16
Roaches can survive atomic bombs,so what the heck is in raid
kakarot2 11
Chuck Norris' sweat...
doctorwhofan567 2
Are you stupid? They only survived the same reason rats survived that, they digged deep enough for them to survive.

Hot water kills them everytime

Much like Twinkies.

Just so she checks her pockets, in case there are still shy ones;)

...so you'd better get that party started
domking1315 20
...What
melody309 35
It's a reference to that song by Pink. "I'm coming out, so you better get this party started ..."

75 - How on earth did you manage to decode that?!
winnerme123 8
I'm guessing he/she listens to to much pink.

80 - And you spend too much time being unable to spell correctly. You can't listen to music 'too much'.
melody309 35
Actually, I just watched Nickelodeon a lot as a kid. Pink was on there sometimes, and that song is pretty popular.

I would probably have pissed myself. I hate cockroaches.
RedPillSucks 33
google "Florida man dies after roach eating contest" The roaches will get their revenge, even if it takes a couple dozen of them to do it.
PipingMouse 14
I would have complained to the dorm manager, and slept in a hotel that night. Even if I had a college budget.
missyfiona89 28
"terrified" would have been a better word if you would have "pissed" yourself.
PleaseStayChill 9
At least they aren't poisonous spiders!
Ryan_Jaxson 8
Poisonous spiders - can't fly, not that huge. Cockroaches - flies RIGHT at you with those gruesome huge-ass wings and can grow to be almost a foot long!
Hiimhaileypotter 53
22- Tarantulas can be the size of dinner plates... I'm not sure if they're venomous, but in my opinion they're worse than cockroaches!
PleaseStayChill 9
So you're telling me that you'd rather have 3 roaches in your bed than 3 Brown recluses? Those bastards are fast.
PleaseStayChill 9
*Facepalm* Other way around.
unknown_user5566 27
9- If there was an infestation of poisonus spiders, I'm pretty sure OP would wait until they were all gone/dead before returning to the room.
speckledots 29
I would rather have almost any bug or rodent infestation than to have roaches in my house. Just the thought makes my skin crawl and gives me the urge to stalk up on bug spray. Its ******* disgusting.
speckledots 29
That just means they're dying. It'll be a disgusting time and a hell of a mess of dead Roach carcasses to clean up. sorry op. :/
onlychildFTW 34
Whenever you spray for roaches they will always come out trying to get away from the poison.
speckledots 29
That pretty much goes for everything.
alicexo_fml 8
They're not even supposed to "spray" anything. They sprinkle this dust stuff and put some liquid under the sinks to kill them and keep them out. We just had our house done and the guy told me all this. I haven't seen any since, so he must have known what he was talking about. OP got ripped off.
writerchic85 26
Actually I'm an exterminator and my sprays work fine. Every company does things a little different.
stedfastwolf 11
That is why I'm glad I live in a new dorm.
doctorwhofan567 2
Just because something is new it doesn't mean it won't be infested.
onlychildFTW 34
This is why I enjoying living in my own place that isn't a dorm. Dorms = messy people. Messy people = bugs/insects.
aj94w 4
Why? So you get the new cockroaches?
Posthuman 26
Cath them and hide them in your friend's backpack
free2speak 14
or cath them and make them kith.
Old_Iron_Sides 6
#12- Good Idea, maybe if you cath the little buggers they'll get catheter associated UTI and die from the infection...
