Please be nice to house centipedes, they're friends. They won't hurt you.

EDIT: Sorry OP, I shouldn't have assumed any ill will, you seem cool!

    I do! We have them where I live and this has happened to me too lol. I like to consider it a sign of trust that they're willing to get that close to me, even though it's more likely they're just kind of oblivious. Although, they do have the best eyesight of any centipede... so who knows!
