As a treat

By Sleepdeprived - This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff - United States - Falmouth

Today, I bought some crickets as a treat for my lizard. One escaped and somehow got into the heating system in my room. The chirping is amplified and comes from everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Goodbye, restful sleep. FML

It will die soon and dry up quickly, don't worry. I absolutely despise crickets. if you want to treat your lizard get him hornworms or Phoenix Worms.

Lol you must be from a city... I'm from the country and we find chirping to be peaceful.

#14: I was raised in the country. The toads, crickets, and cicadas making noise all night and keeping me awake were ridiculously annoying. Not all country hicks like animal noises just 'cause.

I'm from the country and can hardly stand hearing a cricket when I visit the pet store once a month. They make my skin crawl. I find a quiet room miles better.

Just because I'm from the country doesn't mean I like bug noises because I'm always around them. Believe me, I've stayed up plenty of nights wondering if that cicada noise was from inside my house or out. It can be quite unnerving.

just because I'm from the city, doesn't mean I hate bug noise!

When I first moved from Puerto Rico to Miami it was hard to sleep without the sounds of the coqui frogs singing me a lullaby. Now I'm by an airport and I no longer noticed the airplanes. It's all what you get used to. Silence is madness, in my world.

On the bright side, you'll know the temperature

Only male crickets play a song hoping to attract a hot date, so you need to release a groupie cricket.

Time to get a bunch of glue traps! The little paper folding ones are very cheap, think ten-for-a-buck cheap. Put a bit of cricket food in the center of them, and I think you'll have that chirping bastard dead tonight. good luck!!! That's a real FML :(
