Joe’s Apartment
The 1996 cringe-worthy move, Joe’s Apartment, features a man in New York City who shares his apartment with thousands of singing, dancing cockroaches. The real-life Joe’s apartment belongs to Joe Nipitella in Ontario, Canada and his cockroaches don’t sing and dance. They do, however, scatter to the walls when he turns on the lights each morning. Hundreds of them would be creeping about in the dark and scurry out of sight when Joe came in. He says the roaches were there when he moved in, but the problem kept getting worse, despite the attempts to eradicate them. The building owners actively sprayed for about 6 months, before giving up. Joe and his wife left all of their belongings behind and moved out to escape the little devils.
