Any of y'all cool with cockroaches?

Man roaches bug me the fuck out. It's funny -- back when I was a kid I was obsessed with snakes. Like I'd try to catch and pick up any snake that I found. Even poisonous ones (I caught a cotton mouth when I was like 12, and yes I'm aware of how utterly idiotic that was).
You'd think that a little harmless cockroach wouldn't phase me. But I'll be damned if they don't creep me the fuck out hard when I see one. Those big red-ish tinted ones especially...those fuckers give me goosebumps.
Are any of y'all, when you see a roach in your place, like "ahh it's just a roach, who cares" and go back to whatever it is you were doing?

The only bugs I don't kill when they're in my house or annoying me while I'm chilling on my porch are mantids, ants, cicadas and jumping spiders. The rest are pretty much doomed especially cockroaches.

I never had bed bugs in my own house but there were bed bugs at a rental I stayed at on the beach, it was pretty gross and totally unexpected considering how nice the house was. Must've been rented out to some gross people beforehand or something

If you see one roach, you've got 10 in the walls. If you've got ten in the walls, there's probably a couple 100 in the crawlspace. Time to call the exterminator.

One of my classes kept Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches as a class pet(as well as a tank of leeches, a tarantula, and a scorpion in addition to our non insect class pets). Teach was eccentric and made me move them one by one by hand across the classroom to a different tank in exchange for extra credit.
I am not okay with roaches but I'll be damned if I didn't get my extra credit that day.
Here, you can see all the roaches crawl up out of the sewer at nights when it gets cooler in the summer. mmhmm city livin.
not okay with roaches call exterminator or better yet if you rent get your landlord to call the exterminator.

Let's say you see one roach a month
Obviously there's more where that one roach came from, but would that still be enough to warrant an exterminator?
I've lived at this current place going on two years now, and I can probably count on one hand the number of roach sightings.
Of course I wish that number was zero but I thought 4 or 5 cockroach sightings over the span of 24 months...I thought that was actually not too bad

I'll tell you how not okay I am with them and this is totally true. Just a week or so ago I had to call my wife and tell her to hurry up and come home from shopping or whatever she was doing, and come kill the roach that was in my bedroom. She was like a 5-10 minute drive away. Any other room I would've left and avoided for as long as I could, then when I had to go in it (bathroom for example) I would be creeping along scanning every square inch of surface and listening for the sound of their feet. It would take me about a literal minute to take 5 steps. But this fucker was in my room so it had to go. I called her and told her to get home now and stood out in the hallway watching it so I knew where it was when she got here, but ready to run if it took off flying.
I have a severe phobia of cockroaches.

I'm not quite at that level, but yeah I feel your pain, slip.
Even though they do give me the shivers I'm still able to go up to it and kill it given the opportunity. The last one I saw -- and it wasn't exactly small one -- I crept up to it with a wad of paper towel in my hand and snatched him as quick as I could and then smashed his ass. And then I tossed it and that paper towel into a grocery bag and tied up the bag...the little motherfucker was still in there moving, too.
<shudder>
this is how I picture you btw last week when you saw that roach

Man I had this cockroach problem a couple of months ago and when I asked my roommate at the time why he wasn't as grossed out about it as I was he just shrugged. I know everybody is different but this guy would just leave his toothbrush out on the shelf surrounded by crumbs, dip spit, weed, and toothpaste, where no doubt cockroaches would probably climb over, at night or when we weren't there. it gives me the heebie jeebies just thinking about it. YUCK

My face/actions would be more appropriate for someone who just encountered a snarling large dog. I kinda freeze up and lock eyes on it and and try to back away slowly until it's far enough away from me that I feel confident I can out run it. It's only the ones with wings that are that bad for me. I still don't like the wingless ones and will jump/run from them if they charge towards me but they're pretty easy to avoid. The flying bastards are unpredictable.

I threatened to burn the entire house down if she didn't get home before it got away. If he had escaped I wouldn't of been able to sleep. If it's in my room, I have got to see a dead body. The last time I just assumed I wouldn't see it again and went about my business, I woke up with it on me. Everyone knows not to fuck with me when it comes to roaches. I will get straight up violent. Throw that dead one on me because "it'll be funny", see what happens, I dare you. 
It's all cuz of a dream I had when I was a really young kid too. I wasn't always afraid of them, I even kept one in a jar and fed it slices of cheese, I barely remember it because I was so young. I had a nightmare where I woke up and everything seemed normal, it was very real, didn't seem dream like at all.. but something was tickling me under the covers and I lifted them up and from the neck down I was covered in them to the point you couldn't see skin or clothes. It literally traumatized me because I've been deathly afraid of them ever since.
