I always thought that roaches were out to get me, especially at night. I would put my sheets and blankets in different ways so as to either trick the roaches or keep them out. To trick them, I would put the sheet on bottom and an afghan on top. To keep them out, I would put the afghan on bottom and the sheet on top. I don't know how I decided on which method per night.
