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!

In the mean time, place glue traps along your baseboards and under your bed.

Cockroaches are the only thing able to last an nuclear war and you expect them to be killed by bug spray. Oh and twinkles can too.

Actually, scorpions are more resistant to radiation than cockroaches

There are many bugs that are more resistant to radiation than cockroaches. Myth Busters tested it!

57 - Whether or not they live underground, they are EXTREMELY resistant to direct radioactive blasts. A decent winteresque drop in temperature on the other hand will wipe them out.

That's what the spray is supposed to do dear. They're all coming out to die.

No they're just coming out for revenge on the Op.

But don't start a roach eating competition

Yuck! Why on earth would anyone do that?

I'm pretty sure a roach eating competition was the first thing on OP's mind.

(Bring 'em out, bring 'em out) Aye! Yeah, those sprays get them scurrying around trying to escape death! Well worth it! Don't worry, they'll dead soon enough if the exterminator did it correctly. :P

Eck! I have a phobia of the flying beast! Dead, alive, they all freak me out to the point of tears! The only bright side, OP, chances are those roaches will be dead before too long and your roach issue will be solved; for a little while!

Actually the smart ones are on his bed. They don't spray where the human will sleep. So now he sleeps with the (smart) roaches

It's a matter if time until they evolve into super-mutant roaches that will assume control over EVERYTHING. If, that is, you believe in evolution...

Don't do it, Doc. It's not worth it! ...on a related note, I thought roaches were one of the few examples (I believe the croc/alligator was another) of creatures that haven't evolved much, if at all, over the course of time.

I tried to bring them out, and it clearly didn't work. Damn.

Shouldn't schools take care of stuff like this over the summer when there's not as many people on campus.... I'd be kind of pissed if that happened to me. Sorry op :/
