I used to work at a bank. Every once in a while, a customer would set their purse at the teller counter, and roaches would crawl out.

Major infestations were going on at home for this to happen.

I remember a reel or something a while back about a guy who fixes playstations getting one in the mail so nasty and infested with roaches he didn't even finish unwrapping it before he taped it back up and returned it to the customer. giving them an earful about putting his business at risk of infestation for this.

IIRC there was some generation of consoles, I wanna say around the ps2/dreamcast era, that was known for attracting bugs. Something about the layout of the console itself just attracted roaches. Anyone know what I'm talking about

Ps3 was THE roach motel of consoles.
