I was in college before I saw one. I grew up with giant 8" long centipedes, but this guy freaked me out more than I can say. Couldn't even tell it was a centipede. Might as well have been an alien.

Gag.

I didn't even know they existed until I had one in my apartment around 5 years ago. Now that I've bought a house I see them regularly in my basement.

Relieved, in this aspect, when I moved backed to land of the giant centipedes. Then, I got a bunch of barn boards to make dyi stuff. One came in on there, ran off, and started living around the back of my house. It was the only one around, so it never reproduced (I hope), but damn thing lived back there for years. Just happy it never decided to come inside.
