Needless to say, one customer was more "grossed out" than "thrilled" when she opened her new (and seemingly very cute) area rug from Urban Outfitters last night, only to discover that a gigantic cockroach had hitched a ride with her package. While we recognize that Urban can't really be held responsible for the travel preferences of every insect in the world, we do hope they compensated the poor girl somehow for emotional distress. We mean, just look at the SIZE of that thing!
