Do you have any phobias?
Submitted by Amirul B Ruslan.

I. Hate. Cockroaches.

Especially ones on the wall.
And most especially ones that are already flying in the air.

I think this is already general knowledge for those who know me in person (and have actually spent a reasonable amount of time with me). Although I don't actually remember any trauma-inducing experiences with cockroaches, the insect just scares me. It scares me to the point that I couldn't stand to be in the same room with it, whether or not I can see it. I'd rather leave the room and sleep on a chair.

I can't even kill a cockroach to save my life.

Yes, yes, I know that I'm much bigger and stronger than the filthy bug.

Let it not be said that I haven't killed one, though. There are a few, rare times when I managed to throw a slipper at it and actually hit it. But I think it was more of divine intervention than skill. The only real weapons I have against roaches is insect spray and flypaper.

*sigh*

So if you're going to India any time soon, do me a favor and buy me some Bellona sticks.
