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!

Excuse me! What about the psychological trauma? Do you know what it’s like to be vulnerably taking care of natures business and have one of these demons scurry across your feet?

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!
