Today, I told my girlfriend about my extreme fear of flying roaches. She immediately got upset because she thought, since I'm from the Caribbean, I would be "manlier" and "eat stuff like that for breakfast". FML

Bugging out

Today, my girlfriend won't stay over at my apartment anymore. Why? Because she saw a few roaches. Pest control comes every week and I spray every other day, so there's only so much I can about it. The worst part is now it's extremely difficult to spend time together because she lives with her mom and sister, who argue nonstop. FML

Today, I told my girlfriend that one of my intellectually challenged friends now holds an engineering position at an aircraft company. She wasn't a fan of flying before, and now refuses to set foot anywhere near any aircraft of any kind. FML

Today, after months of my girlfriend crying about cockroaches, I finally called and paid for an exterminator. Now she's furious at me for "making decisions for her" and she keeps pointing out that, since she owns the house, what I did was technically illegal. FML

Today, I woke up with a dead cockroach and its guts all over my forehead. My boyfriend responded by laughing and saying "Poor guy, never had a chance to see the world." FML

Today, I woke up to the feeling of something crawling up my leg. I threw back the bed sheets and saw it was a cockroach. My dad said my ensuing scream was so girlish that he wondered what the hell my sister was doing in my bedroom. FML

Today, I woke up, showered, and began brushing my teeth. When I started to brush my tongue I gagged, like usual, and threw up a little. What's unusual? I threw up a cockroach. FML

Today, my boyfriend found out about my severe phobia of moths. It's so bad that I sometimes pass out. He caught a moth in a jar, and put it on my bedside table. I woke up, saw it, and had a panic attack. He recorded it all and wants to upload it to YouTube. FML

Today, I finally got some sleep after an exterminator came yesterday and took care of our roach problem. I woke up and kissed my boyfriend good morning. Frowning, he told me I had something stuck on the corner of my mouth. It was a roach leg. Where is the rest of the roach? FML

Today, my girlfriend was making lunch and asked me to pass her the peanut butter. I'll never know why, but as I handed it to her I said the first thing that came to mind, "I really want a dog." She looked at me in horror, then told me to get out of her house. FML

What I'm wondering is where the authors of a lot these fmls find these idiotic females. Find a woman with some common sense OP.

Eh, who cares. Doesn't matter if you're afraid. As long as you stand on that chair and scream high pitched, LIKE A MAN.

My mother/family are from the Caribbean islands and eat things that would almost put Andrew Zimmern to shame. A mild one-- Once we had our American friends over for dinner and they all freaked out we served fish and shrimp with the heads still on. Couldn't stand being watched I guess.

Strange, depending on the fish, that's fairly common in Canada. Leaving them intact helps hold the flavor and seasonings in the meat.

Eat it bro, if you are from Dominican Republic you won't die. If You are Cuban you'll possibly live longer than Castro. If you are from Puerto Rico well.... ****...

Why is everyone assuming the girlfriend was being literal (and racist)? I can't be the only person who's ever heard that expression used before to mean something/one is no big deal.

I live in Charleston, SC, and we have flying roaches here. I was terrified of them when I first moved here a few years ago, but now they barely warrant an "eww, gross," before I smush them. I've heard that they're pretty common in the Caribbean too (which is where SC got them from - karma for the slave trade!) so I don't know, OP, I'd kind of expect you to be a little more used to the roaches too.
