Hi, I am very afraid of cockroaches.Once i had been to a cinema theatre and i felt like something is on my leg.When i saw it, my god..it was a big cockroach.I screamed so loudly in the middle of the movie.It was so embarassing for me.The entire time of mine was spent in looking out if there are more cockroaches and whether they aretrying to come on my leg.I just could not concentrate on the movie.I just hate them.Do you?

Yucks, I am terrified of them!, especially those that can fly. Just the feeling of one getting caught in my hair, or on any part of my body, is enough to set me screaming! Everytime I hear the scratching sounds they made, I shudder! I either run after them (those that cannot fly) with an insecticide spray, or I scream for my hubby to get rid of them!

Hehe, i heard someone scream like that in the movie too, but the situation not because of cockroaches, that's rats. How i know that? because she just sit few row in front of me, after she scream, i saw a big rats running through my chair too. What a surprise for me too!! I am not afraid of cockroach, but if i saw that, i will definitely find someway to kill that. Just the feeling that it should not be around me.

Yes, I can understand! I think many girls and women they are afraid of Cockroaches. This I feel basically it has been implanted in their brains right from the childhood by near and dear ones. Like we are in general afraid of Snake because we are made to scare of snakes right from the childhood. Otherwise there is nothing which a Cockroach can do physically i the sense of causing harm,! Yes the spiny legs are quite irritating. I recall as the Students we were asked to disiect the Cockroaches in our Junior College.There girl Students were also equally proficient in handling the insects as boy students.So I think it is ones mental makeup which plays a major role! Please remember Cockroacjh is also a creature created by nature and it is also having equal right to live and thrive on the motherly earth and we should respect and regard this aspect also ! Thanks for the discussion which was light and mood elevator! All the best !

Yes, I know what you mean. I am not too fond of cockroaches myself.. They are water bugs that love to get into many things.. They are big and gross. I dislike them too!
