I don't really care what color they are when they are long as your palm and flying at your face.

I was staying at a hostel in Sydney and It was just me and English girl just chilling in the common area. It was sort of exposed to the outdoors since there was no doors, just an entrance. It just lead to the sheltered outdoor area but each dorm room had their own heavy door.

We both found out that day that the big roaches that roam there knew how to fly. Not well. Like it struggled to carry it's own weight. We both had time to react and do something. We both just watched in horror as it flew right into her hair.
