I saw this news in the New Strait Times today about an old lady met an accident because of a cockroach. Please see: https://www.thestar.com.my/news/regional/2018/01/29/cockroach-in-car-gives-woman-a-fright-causing-her-to-crash-into-overhead-bridge/
Phobia of cockroach is not a funny thing. It may looked funny to us but in the mind of a phobiatic person, its truly scary. This remind me of my exbos who have the same phobia. The story goes like this.
I was in the office like usual. At about 10 am my exbos came in and walked straight to his office. Five minutes later I heard him shouting and calling my name. I run to his office thinking that something serious have happened. As I entered his office I saw him standing on top of the couch with white faced and holding an umbrella. Then he said that there's a cockroach in his room. I feel like wanted to laugh out loud but looking at his face, I just don't dare.
So, I tried to look for the cockroach. As soon as I saw it, I stepped on it and flushed it in the toilet nearby. Then I went back to my bos room and assure him that I already killed it. Only then he went down from the couch and cursed the cockroach.
I walked out of his room, into the toilet and laughed to my heart content. I know I was mean for laughing at him but well...at least I helped him. What would you do if you're in my place?
Thank you for reading my post.
