I developed a theory because of these fuckers, which is that the scale of a things creepiness is based on how many legs it has and how fast they are.

I used to get them in my last apartment and when I saw one I literally couldn't sleep until I knew it was dead

Imagine you go to the washroom to grab some toilet paper to blow your nose and when when you pull on the paper this asshole jumps up at you, like a buggy over the dunes, at full speed up your hand. Then the asshole disappeared just as fast when flung off.

I had never seen one before, and was just settling in after moving into my new apartment when my turn gf just screams and comes running into the kitchen saying, "there's a horrible monster bug in the sink, ITS HUGE"

And unprepared for the Lovecraftian little horror waiting for me, expecting some kind of beetle or something, I was pretty shook up. Legitimately was scared to go into the kitchen at night after that.
