This happens to me all the friggin time in summer. Damn giant crickets flying in and attacking me from all angles. I really hate them... really really really do.
This has happened several times and fortunately I've come up with a solution, depending on where you are at the time.
If you are at home, cover yourself with a blanket. You will know your protection is secure when you look like a really bad halloween costume. You will still be able to move freely and see your way around the house by looking at the floor. This way you can get food if you are hungry and the cricket is still around.
Stay like this until someone rescues you from the cricket. It's the safest option.
If you are in a car its best to scream madly while pulling over and jumping out. Make sure you don't run into oncoming traffic.
Always Remember: If you die, the cricket wins.
Abandon your car and travel by foot. Don't look back, cuz that car belongs to the cricket now, and it'll only break your heart.
If you aren't driving you should scream madly while distancing yourself from the cricket as much as possible. If there are other passengers you can use them to shield yourself from the cricket in a primitive form of the blanket technique. Scream until the driver is forced to pull over and dispose of the cricket for you.
If the driver won't kill the cricket, you'll have to walk instead :(
If you are trapped by a cricket blocking a doorway, you have three options:
* Scream for someone to help you. The cricket will be powerless to someone opening the door from the otherside.
* Throw things at it until it dies or moves away.
* Find another exit such as a window or wherever it is that water goes when it goes through that hole in the bottom of the toilet.
* Remove clothing and throw it at the cricket to trap it underneath. Then stomp. Stomp like your life depends on it because it really really does. Once the exit is safe you can either abandon the murder scene or use a shovel to fling the cricket and affected clothing into a neighbouring yard.
Good luck!

Just flick it off (not with the birdie finger, but with your index finger...well, you know what I'm trying to say). Just shoo it away, or STAND UP AND WALK AWAY, that could also work. IT'S NOT LIKE IT'LL JUMP ON YOU AND BITE YOU; they're overall harmless...unless provoked.

Just look at Mr. Cricket and tell him you think he's cute and ask if he wants to be your boyfriend. . . as a man, trust me, that scares us. He'll be gone before you know it!

Get your garden hose and give it a good helping of H2O.

It will not hurt you, just pick it up and but it outside the car.

You should soil yourself. Everyone knows that crickets hate faeces.
