Only if there’s too much friction.
You guys are just plain mean.
Lady Venom, I’m sure the bug just grabbed onto you when you went out to start the car and was not actually living in your mattress, body pillow or cheetos.
I hope that makes you feel better …
Now if only I could feel better and stop picturing someone picking up a bug and sniffing it. Ewwww!
Bugs outdoors, in Canada, in the winter? Only a Floridian…
My cat had a similar bug about a month ago on the kitchen floor. It was very gross and she ate it before I could positively ID it. For some reason it looked like something I had seen before, but I just can’t place it. A cross between a cricket and a grub? I don’t know, but no more of the vile things have turned up. Don’t worry, it was probably something the cats found somewhere.
You guys are SICK!!! 
I like it! hehe
I told my hubby the story when he got home from work and showed him the bug…he assured me that it’s not one of his “critters” and that he is indeed human.
I still don’t know where that nasty crunchy bug came from, and if I see another one, I’m moving!
It’s a good thing **Lady Venom ** brushed her teeth before finding the Cheeto Larva in the dark, because with sparkly clean teeth all she did was sniff it. If she hadn’t brushed, we’d be reading about how she took a bite of it and became suddenly aware that Cheetos aren’t soft and creamy inside.
She didn’t say her car was outdoors, she said she went “downstairs”, so I presumed that she either keeps her car in the living room or a garage. Now garages may not exactly be warm and toasty but they are usually free of snow and wind so a bug could possibly be living in there. Then a nice warm human walks by and he thinks, “Hmm … I bet it’s warm and toasty where she’s going.” and it hitches a ride.
You just had to cross that line, didn’t you? I will never eat another Cheeto. Thank you for that.
grabs her toque and hockey stick and runs after Happy
Are you sure it wasn’t one of those pod-people seed things from Invasion of the Body Snatchers? Have you taken a good look at your husband? :eek:
My husband does that, too - but he’s originally from Virginia. Nope, can’t blame this on Canada!
Actually, my car is outside, but I had to go downstairs to get to it. hehehe
It was -43 with the windchill that day, no buggers around!
Lady Venom, I just noticed your username.
Perhaps they’re paying homage to their queen?
Having lived in Minnesota and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, which are probably more “Canadian” than large parts of Canada are, I can tell you, parking your car in the living room in the winter isn’t really that strange an idea.
So, did the “pinch” on your leg that you felt actually turn out to be a bite or sting of some kind, or was it just the feel of the insect against your skin?
Also, if you have a digital camera, and the bug is still around, I’m sure we’d love to see it and figure out what kind of bug it is.
i’d’ve eaten it, on the spot.
maybe washed it down with the glass of water i keep bedside.
bugs may not taste the best, but it’s free protein.
I, for one, WELCOME our INCH-LONG-BROWN-NASTY-INSECT Overlords.
Do none of you read Dean Koontz novels? It was obviously not a real bug but a man/alien made organism which eats dirt and sifts out any valuable particles found in that dirt, creating virtually priceless gems. You should mourn for what could have been if you hadn’t squished that little money machine!
