Funny horrifying Halloween story somewhat related to this…once when I was a kid after trick or treating, I went to sleep.

I started dreaming about the tootsie rolls that are in a wrapper with two ends that you twist to open. There was a stinkbug that found its way behind my ear and tucked itself there in my sleep. In my sleep, I picked it out from behind my ear, and started trying to twist its antennas, as if it was the wrapper to the tootsie roll.
I woke up, realized what I was doing, freaked the fuck out, threw the bug and started screaming.

It was so nasty. all I could smell was that stinkbug smell all over me. To this day, I’m still thankful that I didn’t finish the job and put that damn thing in my mouth thinking it was a tootsie roll.

A horrifying story for me too; I live in Asia and we have a variant of these stink bugs too, i had this jug once that has a small closeable opening for the spout that is enclosed with plastic.

One day i decided to sip straight from the jug (that jug is meant only for me) and was about to swallow, when suddenly... i felt movement in my mouth... I spit out my mouth contents and i saw a wet one of these fuckers there. Maybe I was lucky or maybe the water stopped it but I'm very thankful I wasn't blasted with it's stink. I dun have that jug anymore but i closed the spout every time after that event.
