I hate disposing of dead things...I'm such a wuss that I have to get a paper towel, kleenex and a plastic bag just to pick it up... Then I have to scrub my hands clean in scolding hot water and soap...OCD anyone... Also, I fear girls that act like the one on Fatal Attraction... I hate shots...I am a big wuss...
I thought that was Leslie Nielson drowing Ted Danson. What was scary was seeing Lt. Frank Drebin being so evil.
I have the same feelings as most here about roaches, especially about the flying part. I hate roaches, I REALLY hate flying roaches. I remember one time after a big rain, there had to be like 20 roaches that decided to say hi to us all. After my mom, sister, and I said hi back, there were 20 dead roaches. I was trying to figure out where they were coming from. I also remember trying to sleep one time. I felt something crawling on me and I just grabbed it, kind of crushed it, and threw it across the room. Must have been instinct because I surely wouldn't have done that if I was fully awake. Hehe...I also squashed one, but he still tried to walk with his guts and organs hanging out. Man, there tough.
I had a flying variety in my garage. The ones that fly scare the **** out me. I am all dodging it, trying to fight it with my fist, punching it. I live near a bunch of trees, and I am assuming the flying ones come from those woods.
It's funny, I have no fear of most living things -- I play with spiders, snails, worms and catepillars; I feed possums; I think rats and mice are adorable; I always try catch the little garden snakes, toads and lizards that are in our yard -- I like them all. But big roaches FREAK ME OUT!!! As soon as I see one in the house, I run in the other direction and scream until Jeff has disposed of it. I never saw a roach until I moved to Texas when I was 15. By that time my bug preferences were already set. If I had grown up playing with big roaches the way I did with all the other bugs, I suspect it wouldn't be a problem. My other fears: being in the middle of a big crowd, public speaking and sitting in the back seat of a 2-door car.
They also kill them and feed them in stew to the homeless people there. Seriously. BTW: Louisiana must be the cruddiest state ever. You drive into it and it smells and random places on the ground are on fire.
Yes, it was..I brought that movie up in the Twilifght Zone thread a few days back.. It was Ted Danson was messing around with Leslie Neilson's wife, so he buried them on the beach at low tide and left tvs running next to them so they could watch each other drown.. and then after they were dead, they came back for him and did the same thing to him.. death by drowning, or suffocation....shudder... Kill me quick..I dont want to see it coming. and I hate big spiders webs that you walk thru in the woods..afraid of one of them big yellow and black spiders dropping down on your head. Anti...quit being a wuss...get some paper or gloves and chunk that sucker...geeze..
Spiders, all Spiders. I can't even touch a picture of spider without getting chills. needles and other sharp objects. But that has more to do with my unfortunate history with sharp things, than any particular fear.
Ewwww....roaches have always been my nemesis. As a kid, I remember laying on my bed doing my homework, and spotting a roach run under my bed. Well, there was NO WAY I was going to go back to doing my homework until I hunted down and killed that damn thing! I remember my little roach hunts lasting 30-45 minutes sometimes, but just the thought of sitting there, or even worse SLEEPING there with the roach under the bed freaked me out. So, I'd have to fish the little booger out. Also, once I was taking a bath at my grandparents' house, when a roach came out of the water faucet in the tub I was sitting in! Ok, I'll stop now....Wait, no...flying roaches are the worst. As if the quick and creepy regular variety aren't bad enough, those flying bastards are seemingly genetically enhanced to escape the big shoes and rolled up newspapers! I hate roaches, but the only thing I hate more than them is the thought of them moving around, ALIVE, in my room or apartment, so I kill them at all costs.
Dude, aren't you from Houston? I know you know we have the biggest roaches here. BTW, I don't think they're technically roaches, aren't they called tree something or the other, and when they fly, look out, I'm running. Other bugs that absolutely freak me out, stink bugs, my dad told me he was bitten by one and it is absolutely painful, and also stick bugs. Oh my God, that is the freakiest looking thing I have ever seen.
When I lived in the university apartments, we would get a lot of huge earwigs. I usually sleep with a glass of water next to the bed in case I get thirsty at night. Well, one morning I woke up to find a three inch long earwig swimming around in it! I still get shudders imagining what would have happened if I took a gulp that night.
