Below is the actual IM conversation that just went down between me and my co-worker Tif!!
Can’t make this shit up people!!… well you can, but I didn’t!!!
Tif: Just heard you yell, did you fall over in your chair again?
Me: COCKROACH!!!!
Tif: WHAT!?!?
Me: HUGE! UNDER CUP! MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN CALLED! CAN’T STOP TYPING IN CAP LOCK!!
Tif: Keep me updated!
…
Tif: Why are you screaming?! Screaming not good… NOT GOOD!!
Tif: … I’d come help but I’m standing on my desk, what the HELL is going on over there?!?
Me: IT ESCAPED!! MADE A RUN FOR IT!! WE DON’T KNOW WHERE IT IS!!!
Tif: OMG… HOW DID IT ESCAPE!?!
Me: GUY THOUGHT I WAS EXAGGERATING SIZE, LIFTED CUP WITH NO BACKUP!!
Tif: DUDE
Me: IT TOOK OFF! LAST SEEN HEADING IN YOUR DIRECTION!!!
Tif:…
W
T
F
Me: SAVE YOURSELF!!!
As of now it’s been one hour since last sighting… Tif and I are still on our desks!
This is the only picture I was able to get before all hell broke loose.
I refuse to leave my desk until the beast is found!!
Every 2 minutes I get the sensation that something’s crawling on me!! I may have to go home, I CAN’T WORK IN THESE CONDITIONS!!!
I hate cockroaches with all of my heart. They strike the perfect balance of being giant and gross.
AGREED!!
Oh my gosh… that is terrifying! One time I was typing at work and a termite fell on my desk from the ceiling. I thought I was going to die!
*BLERK* Sorry just threw up a little bit in my mouth 😦
I know. I wanted to cry when it happened! Did they ever find Senor Roachenstein?
No… and it concerns me that we’re now naming him!!
Sheesh… if you can cover it with a cup, you can kill it with a shoe! I’m just sayin’…
DUDE! There would have been a crunch AND a wet spot… A CRUNCHY WET SPOT!!! You ask too much sir!!!
LMAO- depends on the kind of roach. Then again, if it was big/mature enough, it could be flying around your office now… Which is worse: wet crunch or flying menace?
Great! Now I’m thinking about floor AND air possible attacks…NOT COOL!!!
It’s the ones you DON’T see that you should be worried about!
I feel your pain…I hate the creepy little creatures. Don’t step on it when you get off your desk…the sound and mess…yuk…:)
