I got stung by one of these once when I was staying at my high-school dormitory which was in the woods and away from city. Apparently it crawled into my slippers while I was sleeping so I had not idea this was going to happen. I wore my slippers and felt a certain pain afterwards. I still remember the hole it put into my foot.

It was not a house centipede but a regular wild one though.

my slovenly ass picked up my dirty t-shirt off the floor in Hawaii and some 30-cm monster came flying out and disappeared underneath the china cabinet, not sure why there was a china cabinet. took me awhile and some soothing from my unflappable lover to decide if I should be really freaking out.

That's huge. I'm glad there is nothing like that here. Did you learn what was it?

no idea but probably just a common million-footed monster that will absolutely spicy bite. we got em in the U.S. midwest, but not quite so big. Ohio people are terrified of sprickets, giant harmless crickets, and they are just part of the dank basement ecosystem
