I just got done taking the shower from hell. I'm literally shaking from the experience as I type this out.

I noticed that the bathroom has been getting a few ants in it from time to time. Probably from the remains of these strange little beetles we've had recently dealt with. I would clean the bathroom, but yeah, due to my brother's recent drinking and throwing up stuff, it got really gross, but not unusable. The shower/bathtub was still reasonably clean at any rate, and with my brother now moved out, I thought it would be safe...how wrong I was.

Anyways, I am odd in that I like to take sit down bath/shower combos. I sit in the bathtub, soak for a while, and then use the showerhead on a hose to rinse off. I don't know why I bathe this way in particular, but I only do it in my own bathtub.

I had just lathered up some of that shampoo and conditioner combo stuff from Pantene in my hair and turned on the faucet, then the showerhead, and did as I usually do and let the water from the showerhead run into the bathwater while it gets warm. However, when I turned my head to look at the showerhead, I saw dozens of little black ants pouring out of it with the water.

Naturally, I screamed, hauled my bare arse out of that ant filled bathtub, and managed to have the presence of mind to turn off the showerhead before the thing sprayed the whole bathroom in the panic. Now here I was, standing next to the tub, dripping in suds from my lathered up hair, heart pounding, breathless and looking in pure terror at the nearly 100 or so ants swimming in my bathwater. I was lucky I didn't pull the shower curtain down during my escape.

I figured I'd run the showerhead part of the piping and just clean it out of ants, as I really didn't want to go banging on my parents' bedroom door at 3 in the morning in my current state, having to explain what had gone on and if I could use their shower to finish bathing. So, I let the showerhead clean itself out, running the water as hot as it would go so I could scald the ants to death as the were ejected into the tub, and a few dozen more ants came into the tub, which I drained and rinsed down. ONLY THEN, when I was sure the ants were no longer coming out, did I rinse my hair, but only leaning over the tub, not sitting in it. I don't dare sit in the tub again.

I'm seriously considering never using that bathroom for bathing ever again!! I felt like it was a horror movie come to life!!
