Its small and round like a little lady bug.
When you Smash it makes a crunchy sound.
I have seen black ones with brown spots and brown ones with black spots.
I find them in the bathroom or where it is moist but i have also seen them in other areas of the house.
I think they have wings but they are hidden like a lady bugs.
Also when i moved on with my finger i noticed that it hid its legs in its body, thats the best way i can but it. thank you for looking at this question and please give me any answer that you can

Sounds like a case of dermestid beetle, aka carpet beetle. They are quite common in homes (including bathrooms) and can be pests as they eat practically everything and anything they find; food crumbs, skin flakes, hair, etc. They are usually small black / brown and if they have markings they are often yellow or orange.
Here's one species, vary variable in the amount of each color.

You may have also seen the larvae around, rather unattractive little things look like a hairy maggot

If it looks like that but not quite you can browse through the pictures here http://bugguide.net/node/view/6448/bgimage?from=0 there are quite a few species all have a certain resemblance but coloration often differs.

Have you eaten one? I never have, but if it tastes like chicken, then it's a ladybug.

I think I know what you are talking about. When you kill them, do they stink?
