I keep finding these tiny bugs that are about a centimeter or less. They are teardrop shaped and long. They run around as if they are confused. Kinda running around in circles, really fast. They move forward with what I'm assuming is the head which is the wide part of the bug and the skinnier end being the tail. Does anybody know what they are?

They may be what children in the South call "doodle-bugs" that live in sand. If so, they are harmless. If you have a lot, it's not likely that. Sorry. Silver fish look just like silver fish with legs. : 0

Sounds like you have Silverfish. Just Google "Silverfish" and there is all kinds of information - even pictures so you can tell if this is what you are seeing. Good Luck.
