I had a similar experience with a cockroach. I salute you comrade JC.
My story, there's a small crack in the wall of my shower so I'm not entirely unaccustomed to surprise bugs, but it's always just ants. And after spraying it a year ago they were gone and I'd never have to deal with them again, or so I thought. So I got in the shower and turn on the spray, and 5 minutes in a big hugging cockroach runs out of the crack. It hugging charged me, the ants usually scatter when I show up, but this hugging thing mounted an assault. Needless to say I screamed like a little girl. Something about my commotion made it turn and run, but not back into a crack, now it settled into a corner of the tub and stopped moving. I realized the tub was too steep and slippery for it to leave, but it was also trying desperately to avoid the water. Being my peaceful (scared like a I love you man!) self, I figure I'm almost done, I'll just finish up and be on my merry way. But after a little while a small amount of water hit the roach and it went hugging I love puppies. It ran back and forth then tried to run up the side of the bathtub, of course he failed but on his way down he flipped onto his back and got stuck. I still remember his nasty little claws/feet flailing while I had a clear view of his underbelly.
My heart was pounding (again like a little I love you man!) while I just stared at him, and then.. he started sliding. He slid a little closer to me, then a current of water from the shower spray got him and carried him all the way (past me) to the drain where he finally stopped. After all that he's still stuck on his back, but now his head is submerged in water. He was flailing out of control at first but then he slowed down and finally stopped. He hugging drowned, I thought roaches could survive days under water, but this retard committed suicide right in front of me. I finished up my shower with him there, and afterwards I got the toilet paper and crushed that hugger up. It turned out he wasn't dead because he started flailing after I crushed him, but the ordeal was over and I lived to tell the tale.
