Wow I was really afraid the rest of the title was going to be that it crawled into her snatch

Im confused where you could have possibly gotten that from

From the front page

ear canal -> ????? -> vagina???

I wonder if they could have simply flooded the roach out instead of euthanizing it and then pulling it out piece by piece, or if it was just THAT stuck in there...

Stories like these always make me want to get my ears checked.

how much did it cost her to do all those checkups and ER visits

more than she can sue the cockroach for

I don't know, but since she's American, the person giving her the bill must have gotten an earful.

One time when I was much younger I was just standing and talking to someone inside a house when I suddenly heard what I can only describe as rumbling in my left ear and a slight tingle. I immediately had the good reflex of bending my head to the left and hit the right side of my head with my right hand. Almost immediately a dung beetle fell on the floor and I was left very puzzled. I know I don't clean my ears that often but still, goddamn.

I can never stand cockroaches. I setup sticky traps in corners and then torture them when they're caught with a lighter because damn them to hell. I hate it when they land in my coffee, and my apartment landlord is wayyyyyyy past due in getting the floors and baseboards treated since they're breeding right below me.

I got no issues if they don't fly but motherfucker the flying ones always wanna fly right to your face. Gives me phobia of the flying ones, because one time when I was kid going to to the toilet, it flew right towards me the other time i was on headphones, and I heard buzzing noise. Take out my headphones and there it was, the size of my palm, watching me. I live on the 7th fucking floor.

I have never seen a cockroach in the UK but I hear we have them. Seen plenty of rats though. Are they very common in the US?

she is now bankrupt for life

Shes a slave now, for the novelty of a cochroach in the ear alone

German cockroaches are very common. We get them around the house when it gets dry outside because they go looking for water. plus they love hiding in ivy here in the south.

Impossible to guess an exact figure, but I'd wager 3 grand, easy

Depends on the geological location, I know New Orleans and New York has the most common roaches and rats. I live in San Antonio Texas, so its moderate. The roaches are breeding like hell, I found a bunch of babies that got caught on the glue trap since they laid eggs on the glue trap. No rats here, but if I find any, I feed them to my snake.

Check your lease. Pest infestations tend to be the responsibility of the tenant, not the landlord.

NOPE NOPE NOPE, used to live in a place with palmetto bugs, named the one behind the sink Jerry but FUUUCK THAT.

What would have even possessed the cockroach to enter her ear canal like, how the heck did a bug decide to just crawl into someone's ear. Considering that I had to deal with a cockroach problem about four months ago, this is horrifying.

Fellow San Antonio-ite, nice! This place is boring af. I get roaches sometimes but it's not a really big issue.

Cockroaches only really ever travel if their food source or water source disappears, or if theyre too crowded. The lady in the article probably has an apocalyptic cockroach infestation.

I've heard of ear wigs getting in people's ears before, but even then, I think the idea that this is a regular occurrence based on their name is a misconception. It's super disturbing and I'm so glad that my ears are always full of wax so nothing could get in there even if it wanted to.
