Ok I have to share this bug story.... I was driving home from Perth last night, when something catches my eye on the dash. It's a rather large cockroach, not minding too much I carry on down the freeway, when it occurs to me that its getting closer to the steering wheel. I then have visions of it crawling up my leg or arm while I'm driving and me trying to hit it, becoming a dangerous situation. So I pull over and try to squash it. I lose sight of it, so I carry on, then I hear this scratching noise on a plastic bag and catch sight of it, so I drive off the freeway, onto Leach Highway and find somewhere where I can kill this thing! Only... with all the new development on Leach, I have to drive a few more minutes to find a side street to stop. 10mins later, I park the car jump out and try to find this bug (a bit frazzled by this time) I can't see it anymore... assume its in the bag and tie the bag in a knot, jump back in the car. Then having a thought... 'what if its not in the bag' flashes of bugs up arms and legs come back to mind, so to be safe... I crank up the AC till its freezing in the car, I figured that since I only really see Cockroaches in the summer they must like the heat and dislike the cold. So shivering I drive back towards the Freeway home only to find, the intersection is a little different than what I remembered it... I miss my turn and drive 10mins in the opposite direction before I can turn around to get back on the Freeway! So beginning to have veins popping out of my neck and freezing my backside off I finally get back onto the right Freeway and on my way home yet again, however not entirely at ease, constantly glancing around the car for the next 30 mins looking for that damn bug. I get home and am finally able to relax! Next morning I totally fumigate my car till I can barely breathe, lock it up and rather happy with myself figured that if that bug is still in there it's dead! Hours pass... I decide to jump into the car and go pick up a few things from the grocery store, not a care in the world. Make it to the shops, do my shopping come back to the car and guess what I see?? THE DAMN BUG IS NOT ONLY STILL IN MY CAR.... ITS ALIVE!! Aaaaargh I grab it, squish it between my shopping receipt then throw it on the ground and proceed to drive over it... only to find I missed it and its STILL ALIVE!!!
Conclusion...... that bug was meant to live :p
