Some buzzing insect just appeared in my bathroom.

[milestogo]

It sounded like a bee and it was pretty big. The medicine cabinet was open and he flew in, so it is trapped in there.

Its 4 degrees F so it certainly didn't come in from the cold.

How long should I wait to open the medicine cabinet?

[Enter stage left]

1. Well...count the number of pancakes it takes to shingle a dog house...

multiply by 2, subtract your age...and I forgot where I was going with this.

Oh well, never mind.

[rsdsharp]

2. Probably stink bug.

We get two to three a day. My wife likes using the vacuum cleaner wand to suck them up with a satisfying “ptook.”

[MLAA]

4. Do not piss off your wife and whatever you do do not make any buzzing sounds!!

[rsdsharp]

6. And don't stink if I get squashed.

Actually, I think I’m safe. I won’t fit into the vacuum hose.

[milestogo]

9. I don't have a wife.

[ret5hd]

19. What gender is the bug?

[milestogo]

20. I couldn't get its legs apart so I don't know.

[ret5hd]

21. Whoa, big boy! You're movin' to fast if you want a wife.

[milestogo]

25. I don't want a wife.

[ret5hd]

27. You should try standup sometime.

You’re a natural.

[milestogo]

28. Why?

[ret5hd]

29. Because you're a natural.

[MLAA]

31. Reminds me of the old joke

What do moth balls smell like?
I don’t know, I couldn’t get their legs apart 😬

[milestogo]

26. Yeah, it was hanging on a bottle so I could flush without the kleenex smush and that

smushing sound that it makes.

[MLAA]

3. A month at least 😬

Good luck!

[lapfog_1]

5. depends on the number of different drugs and chemicals in there

and if any are radioactive.

wait for mutations...

[Demovictory9]

7. Ewwww..i would spray bug killer and wait

[MOMFUDSKI]

8. Brought to mind

a story of a bunch of young guys/gals at a lake house in Wisconsin in June. One of the girls was deathly afraid of June bugs as they are loud, large, and fast. SO . . . of course the guys filled her purse with them while she wasn't looking and then she went into the bathroom WITH her purse and you can certainly figure out the rest of the story.

[milestogo]

10. Wow that is really mean!

[tblue37]

11. Get a broom or fly swatter, go in & shut the door, then let it out of the medicine cabinet

and render it extinct with a forceful blow.

[milestogo]

12. What if it tries to sting me?

[tblue37]

13. Put on long sleeves and goves. Cover your face, too, if you feel it's necessary. Even wear a

jacket or coat if you're really worried.

You're way bigger than the bug is. Let him know who's boss. Don't forget to trash talk him during your duel.

[milestogo]

14. I don't want no stinkin jab from you, bug.

Like that?

[tblue37]

16. Well, that's pretty mild. Call it Jim Jordan, MT Greene, Matt Gaetz, or Ted Cruz, then

see if you can be a bit more aggressive & inventive in your trash talking.

[MLAA]

32. Yeah!

[tavernier]

15. Listen closely. If it says, Help me, Help me,

It’s Jeff Goldblum.

[milestogo]

18. ...

[NNadir]

17. If you open it in 2023, you should be safe, unless it's pregnant. n/t.

[Corgigal]

23. Is this a new Oscar bug?

I would say open in spring, let it fly out the window .

[milestogo]

24. UPDATE: Bug has been sent to a watery death (unless it can swim)

I opened the medicine cabinet. It was hanging on an acetaminophen bottle. So I picked up the bottle, tapped it on the toilet, and the bug fell in.

I flushed it away.

It might have been some kind of moth.

30. This thread is soooo funny - thanks!!

Bugs constantly hitch a ride into my house with the firewood. They wake up and think springtime already. It's kind of cute when a Ladybug drifts through the living room in the middle of January.
