Eewww! I'm petrified of roaches/cockroaches specially the flying ones! I'd say it's a phobia, I'm absolutely terrified of them! Can't go near them even if it's dead. You should buy loads of bug spray or water based Baygon and spray it all over your apartment Sir Al. Do it before leaving the house for work so you won't have to breathe in the air. Or you can buy and use one of those sticky paper traps.

With regards to riding the jeep, perhaps you should go and sit in the front so you won't have to hunched your back too much.
