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

at least if theres an awkward silence there will be proper sound effects

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.

I foresee asnakelovinbabe commenting on this FML.

That's payback for offering him up to your lizard. He's a vengeful one.

That sounds like a tiring situation.

Once a huge cicada took refuge in the semi-enclosed overhang in my house - it's comprised of brick floor, brick & mud walls. The amplification was ridiculous. It was like someone standing out there blowing a sports whistle at full blast. I got out of bed and went outside to deal with it, and it was echoing across the VALLEY. At least I was just able to sweep it out; half an our was long enough for me to lose my mind, so...you certainly have my sympathies!

Ear plugs? Or let your lizard loose and see if it can find it...

I'd chirp too if I narrowly escaped death!

This happened to me, the little bastard lived for months.

It'll die eventually, crickets don't live long
