About 2 weeks ago we have a customer bring in their laptop for repair. It needed a new keyboard. So I am taking the laptop apart to get to the keyboard. I didn’t make it that far. I pulled up the first piece of plastic and found 2 dead cockroaches. I immediately ran to the bathroom, washed the shit out of my hands. Then I put on latex gloves and a face mask and proceeded back to the PC. Pulled the keyboard and found 6 more dead cockroaches. At that point I also noticed the entire unit on the inside which is usually a shiny clean metal, was completely black in feces and dead larvae, maybe a thousand or more. I then proceeded to take the entire unit, broken parts and all, and stuff it into a giant black garbage bag. I then ducktaped the SHIT out of the bag and put it outside. I called the customer and told them there is nothing anyone can do for the machine and that it is outside our office in a garbage bag. I also explained WHY noone could do anything for them. So here it is 2 weeks later. As I am eating my lunch and checking the threads, what do I see? I fucking COCKROACH crawling on my desk. I almost choked on my lunch then proceeded to kill the fucking thing. I am still getting a gag reflex as I type this. Needless to say I now need to bomb the office thanks to those dirty fucks. And let me reitterate I own a computer business, so yes, ALL the in stock systems, ALL the servers, ALL the equipment, needs to be moved for an entire day so that we can bomb the office. I am SO excited. ---

Wow dude, thats fucking disgusting… I know how much of a cunt it is to move server racks… We had a induction/ventilation system installed in our server room so that in the winter we dont have to have the A/C running in the server room, as well the A/C doesnt like it when its 20 degrees out. We had to move everything, was such a pain in the cock literaly a full days worth of work just for our server room. ---

Eddies they are everywhere . Best is when they are on a little kid. We just grab them and put them in a big.Place them on ed’s desk for him to see in the am.Maybe one day he will do something about it finally. An awful story … One sunday I didnt touch a can of coke I opened up for about 5 hours. I decide why not ? i’ll finish it now before I leave. So I take a sip and I have 1 live HUGE cockroach and 2 baby dead ones in my mouth.I ran across the showroom drooling like a rabbid dog spitting out coke and cockroaches. Thought I was going to throw up at the busiest time our customers are there. Nastiest shit I have ever had happen to me. ---

They were most likely drawn to the heat and electrostatic energy of the lap top. When you go to bomb your office I would check all your servers and such. You guys might not be aware but 78% of all homes US homes have cockroaches. Your house can be immaculate and you can still have cock oraches and not know it.
