But do those bother me as much as the flying ones? Nope. Haha.

ETA: I've got a friend/sister that will actually pick up the outside ones when we're in the backyard at night. Then of course she'll try to get close to one of us that is scared of them. Both myself and my roommate have actually thrown sizable objects at her when she would try to get near us with one.

lol
Your friend sounds like me. I love picking up bugs. I know I would try to catch one just to be able to hold it. Do they ever get inside like the wingless ones do? How big have you seen the flying ones get? Today, I went to an exotic pet store, and I saw an African giant millipede that I wanted to take home with me, but I have way too many pets. It was a male and he was so cool and very friendly. He curled up and played dead for a few minutes until he felt comfortable with me.
