A traumatizing experience..

[PACO]

Dear OwnedWellians,

To anyone who has watched Breaking Bad, they will understand the reference of the fly. The night was Friday and I was editing some videos that I plan on putting up on the YouTubes. Everything was going swimmingly until a fly buzzed past my head and landed on my monitor.



I hate when anything touches my monitor and this includes insects. I wasn't going to splatter it on my 120hz of pure glory so I spooked it and tried to splat it against my wall. Swing and miss. It took off and left me in peace for a solid five minutes. Just as I was starting to get into some rhythm, the fly came back and this time it was doing 360's around my monitor and making itself a real nuisance. Before I could even get a booklet to smack it with, it took off again.

Flash forward 20 minutes and I feel a tingling inside of my ear. I start thinking to myself, surely it can't be the fly? How the hell could it fly into my closed earphone Siberia headset? I was about to check it but right on queue, the fly buzzed right past me and I chalked the tingling up to paranoia. After this, I get in the zone and I'm snipping clips left and right. 20 minutes later, the tingling returns and this time it is stronger than ever.. is there a nerve twitching in my ear? WTF IS GOING ON..

I tilt my head sideways, lift off my headset and hit the right side of my head. I am greeted by the visuals of a sprawling insect falling towards the floor.. THIS:



A FREAKING EARWIG IN MY EAR.. WHAT THE HELL MAN.

Meanwhile people on TeamSpeak hear me freaking out and are wondering what the hell is happening. As my nerves settle and I put my headphones back on, someone jokingly says: what if there is another one?

I take off my headset and start clapping it together and on the fourth clap, ANOTHER EARWIG FALLS OUT OF THE RIGHT HEADPHONE.. In over a decade of using headphones, I have never had this happen before but I had it happen twice in one night.. holy chit.

Final outcome:



I got em good.

Moving forward:



I make my headset clap every time before I put it on and so should you.. never know what is lurking inside of those headphones.

PS: I'm not scared of insects. I'll pick them up and throw them out of the house but having an earwig crawl up yo ear at unawares is some next level chit.

P.s. Double kill.

Jesus fucking christ I would flip my shit and throw away the headset. I'm paranoid about this now

PS Call the pest control people. I thought it was a myth that earwigs crawled in ears but those fuckers had that entirely planned out, clearly.

Any teamspeak records ? For science

Can the earwigs stream the sniper matches?

I am now paranoid about my headset.

A friend of mine had a bug fly into the ear canal some years back. They had to go to the emergency room to get it removed. It was initially alive & trying to get out but died probably due to suffocation inside the canal. They use some special tweezers to get it removed. I felt disgusted hearing the story, and I go nuts now whenever a bug OF ANY KIND flies near my ear. They may fly in on their own. Fuck off, bugs - I'm going to kill you all for tormenting me.

I remember once when I was 8-9, a cockroach crawled on my face while I was sleeping in bed. I woke up screaming in the middle of the night waking my whole house up. Clearly, the roach was trolling me, and he won. I lost. Thank god the bastard was too big to crawl into my ear or nose

I mean it's just going to wait for you under your pillow now

I mean, I guess what happened beats you destroying part of your rig, which is where it seemed this was headed. I thought you were about to say you knocked a drink right on top of your tower or something.

This week I've noticed flying ants being attracted the light/heat of the monitor, they come sporadically but at first I thought there was an infestation somewhere. Every other day 1 or 2 come flying right onto the screen, never had that issue before. Watch my desk really is infested

[kud]

pro tip: mix some dish soap with apple cider vinegar in a cup to make a fly trap that will keep your decaying corpses fresh until you feel like dealing with them

[Rum]

I don't even want to know why you know this kud.

[HULKSMASH]

Makes you wonder what lives in headphones and beards.

Bugs and cockroaches are making a resurgence due to the fact that the working pesticides were banned, such as DDT etc.. Can't remember all the details etc.. but they should bring it back. I seen a centipede in my house a month ago, ever since then i had trouble sleeping.
