[tumblr screenshot] [onenicebugperday reblogged thetallestjew, 24. June]: [lakevida, 24. May]: was waiting for the elevator in the middle of taking out all the trash and a resident came out of her apartment like OH GOOD! maybe i can show you this weird bug that was in my BEDROOM! so i follow her and she gets out a magnifying glass and shows me a dead pillbug on a napkin. im like thats incredible ma'am thank you for letting me use the magnifying glass. she says "i told my creepty kids about the bug and they didn't even call me!" and this sentence is tunneling into my brain so bad theres a physical pressure [added tags: # "my creepy [insert relation]" is probably how all of my family members describe me #and i think that's really special #bug story] [post has 5 replies, 3.325 reblogs, 8.646 likes]

We call those wood louse here in the UK. I had to look it up because I’ve never heard them referred to as pill bugs.
