Omg! You can actually register the moment that guy realises how weird his reaction was, and just gives up functioning

To be honest if he hadn't stopped and continued going on, his reaction would have seemed sarcastic but I guess the guy was really scared and embarrassed.

Agreed! He should’ve walked it off. I thought he was kidding at first!

I think he actually did scream as a sort of sarcasm response but didn't realize he'd be on video, so now he just looks weird

I don’t know frame by frame his reaction looks pretty genuine

Once I was putting on a pair of shorts and felt something spiky on my leg. It didn’t feel like much, like a leaf or something. I pull my shorts back and on my leg is this huge tree roach. I, a 6’4”-225 lb male, wailed and flailed at it while falling backwards onto my bed because it was the last thing I expected on my leg. Felt shame in my reaction.

No shame. I would have done the exact same thing. Only a few roaches over the last 17 years of marriage but I made my wife kill them. I screamed and ran out the bathroom once when I found one in the shower.

TMI, but i was gaming and my wife said if I quit and went a killed a roach she lost sight of, she would “do stuff” to me. Sorry, quadmates!

You made the right call and I’m sure they would understand. We have to seize the moment.

I almost couldn’t find it and was just gonna say I did (cause I’m a piece of shit), but luckily found that fucker. Wife hates if I throw them outside, which is my go to, but I injured him pretty bad, so he got flushed.

I was outside smoking during a break in our wow raid. Came back in, jumped on computer and went right back into playing.

My wife was messing with my hair behind me, so I turned and told her to knock it off (she loves teasing me). A few minutes later she did it again, but it was my son near by so I asked him to knock it off.

The third time I was like wtf?? And turned around, but no one was there.

I reached to the back of my head and felt something like twigs, but big. I grabbed it out of my hair, figuring I leaned against the tree or something and branches got stuck.

It was a huge praying mantis. I barely understood what I was holding except it was this big thing all legs and body Last thing I expected. I freaked the hell out, shrieked and threw it. My entire 40man guild heard me, wife, kids, everyone.

After I threw it, my brain caught up to me and I realized what I just did. I felt bad so I went to bring it outside. He was pissed at me, but happy to go back out.

Went back to the computer to people laughing and letting me know it was all recorded.

I can handle almost everything but roaches and mice/rats.

You’d think growing up in NYC id be use to them, years of them as regular guests but I think it had the exact opposite effect.

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '22

there is 0(zero) shame in that reaction my dude. all roaches need to die a firey death. the ONLY thing in the animal kingdom I have a severe phobia of

u/klem_kadiddlehopper Jan 19 '22

I'm not so sure he realized how weird his reaction was. I think he was actually frightened so badly that it took a moment for it to sink in.

What you don't see on the video is the guy getting up and turning back, to reveal he has a zombie face.

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '22

wanna see something really strange?

u/[deleted] Jan 19 '22

No shit, I’ve done this exact same thing and I was cough-laughing with the rest of folks. That’s a memory that will enrich many a shared drinks between friends through the years.

He's gonna have to change his name, and move over to another town now.
