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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
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, a colony of ants announced that they'd moved into my bedroom closet as I went to get dressed for work. FML
Today, I found thousands of ants in a secret nest in an unused corner of my apartment. They were feeding on the baking mix I forgot in a box from moving in two months ago, and the queen has been laying her eggs on my wireless router. FML
Today, I found out that my new roommate likes to put candy on the floor, let ants crawl all over it, and eats it. Ants and all. FML
Today, I found a New Year's surprise: a cockroach in my kitchen drawers. FML
Today, I got up, curtains still closed, and in the dim light noticed something dark on the floor, which wasn’t there yesterday. I turned on the light to find out what it was. A tiny ant hill. FML
Today, I came back to my apartment to see that my roommate had left out bread, deli meat, and cheese on the counter, so I made myself a sandwich. When she came back, she informed me that she found bugs in the fridge and took out all the food she thought would be contaminated. 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, while I was standing in the elevator with a few people I just met when I moved in yesterday, I felt something fall on my hair and dusted it off. It was a cockroach. None of them will come within a 1m distance to me now, because they all think I've got lice. Welcome to the building! FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Didn't you know roaches are what power the outlets? And the ants are the only things small enough to install them into the outlets for you??

Well, that's a bit odd... looks like to me ants are living in the walls and you got roaches also... have an exterminator come in by your own means or show them a pic of what's going on...

I guess you could say that outlet really got "roached!" Ant you glad you weren't electrocuted?

No.

In the meantime, buy some of those ant traps, and roach killing ones too before calling an exterminator. I used the "Orkin man" exterminator in FL. They were excellent....if one is in your area. I wouldn't wait for the receptionist to call, cause she refuses to see there is a problem and she may never call.

Sounds like the ants are roach killers,.

The front desk is right! The ants are taking care of your roach problem. Just wait until the roach's friends take care of your ant problem. :P

The response we will get later will be along the lines of "Turns out the roach was alive, I just witnessed the ants execute a rat by plugging its tail into the socket."

They're making a sacrifice to the thunder God - Thor obviously, they need some good fortune going their way.

In that case, OP should place a hammer outside.

OP should play 'Hammer Of The Gods' whilst doing a rain dance outside as well. Bring the luck around.

Thats absolutely annoyingly unsanitary. If you are paying for a dorm, that includes services such as pest control. Go to a higher up is my suggestion. I call university people directly rather then go through the guy who is paid to sit there.

It's not a problem till the ants pull it into the outlet. That's when it will be electrocuted and brought back to life. Frankenstein's cockroach! That is a real problem.

Kill them with fire... But first take a picture and show the people at the front desk. Idiots

Idiots? Why would the front desk know what's going on in people's dorms to the point that they know which ones have some bugs? Do people not lock their doors where you're from?
