Oh boy!!Yikes!! i hate any crawling creature specially snakes and centipides... even worms i don't like touching them (even the little ones.lol!!)
My sister have this boxes that got wet during heavy rain and forgot to clean it up... She gets lazy and just let it dry up until sunny days. I hate the smell of it, but she does this mopping, sweeping and finally had the time to clean it up her room this morning. She does this general cleaning every once a month ( i can't stand it, i had to help her, she needs to clear up everything, the closet, the boxes, her shoes and unused clothings that got wet during rainy days (when was it? like amonth ago) so there we were sweeping and taking everything that got wet and there it was a big centipide (maybe giant)!!gosh it was huge!! we just screamed, we were lucky it was a meter away and it was crawling towards my sister i was able to stop it with a mop head and called papa for help...
Whew!!I was just glad that we're all ok, my sister was shocked to see that, she was so scared, now she got the lesson of not cleaning her room regularly... Have you had experience such as this one or other insects or even snakes in your old boxes or unused clothes found inside the house? If yes, what did you do?

Oh,lol it's a lesson for my sister for not cleaning her room regularly. She was glad that i was there to stop it from crawling towards us with a mop. But don't have the courage to kill it myself. Glad that papa was around to do it for me...c",)

Well since the sun did came up here in my place, I decided to give our dogs some bath. They stink already, since nobody dares to clean them. As I was giving them some shower, I saw something crawling on the walls. And when I take a closer look at it, it was a huge tick!. I scraped it off the walls, then grabbed a big stone and crushed it with full force!;)
I'm not that afraid of seeing it, but it's the thought of them going inside our house is what triggered me to smash it with anger. But if it's crawls on my body, then I'm sure I'll jump all-over the place since I don't like it touching me!LoL

Oh yes dear, i hate those too.. i would've done the same if i see one.lol! we use to have a neighbor who has 3 dogs and all dogs have ticks. The owner would them prepare a bottle with a gasoline in it and one by one she would pull those huge ticks by hand and slip them inside the bottle to die...grossy right? That's just the way she kills them.hehehe

I worked at a job where the centipedes came out at night. We kept sweeping them up and putting them outdoors. But I'm not sure if they bite. I don't mind things as long as they don't bite or aren't a health problem.

Gross! xD
I'd freak out if there was a big bug in my room. I had a slug come in through the window once, and I absolutely lost it. Slugs and Snails are the bugs I hate mosttttt. XD

whoa! a big centipede! that's really dangerous! i heard they can give really nasty bites that takes long time to heal! good thing you stopped it even before it can bite any of you.
what do i do when i see something like that?? whack 'em. smash 'em. step on them. kill 'em. kill. kill. kill. LOL well, that only goes for crawling insects like centipedes, cockroaches, and those little black insects that you can find in between book pages or papers that haven't been opened for a long time. as for snakes, thank goodness i haven't found one in some of our old things when cleaning. if i see one i would probably run away. ^__^;;

oh! that's scary...centipide is said to be so poisonous. Anything could happen in that situation thinking that it inhabited in the room for days or weeks. That centipide could have bitten anyone (fortunately with God's grace it did'nt happen. It's gratifyinf nothing ill happens brought by that centipide.

Nice story lol! I had a similar experience but it was much much MUCH terrible..I was about to have a shower in my bathroom , which get cleaned everyday..
I took off my clothes , and i entered into the shower.
It was then..i saw the most horrible , disgusting , dangerous creature i've ever seen...a SCORPION! omg. i couldn't move i was frozen. I didnt noticed it when i first entered , but then i heard a strange crippling noise near my feet. it was HUGE , and i do mean HUGE! i never saw a scorpio in my whole life and i alwyas thoguth they were black and black only . This one was kind of..white? Anyways.. I didn't know what to do! I think it was as scared as i was..i got out of the shower , went to my room and grabbed a pile of books. Went back to my shower and i killed him. disgusting. I wondered for like two days where it could come from . Then i read on the internet that scorpions could get inside your bathroom through the shower hole.
disgusting!!
