03 - Last boss in Guwange.

Bees

It's not quite a phobia, but most bugs freak the shit out of me. Not the socially acceptable insects, like ladybugs and butterflies. But I will scream like a little girl if I realize an ant is crawling on me. I've bolted straight out of bed on numerous occassions when I thought I felt something on me. I will become so paranoid when an insect is flying around my head.

The thing is, I can't kill them. The little gnats, sometimes I can catch them in the air and crush them, but usually I can't kill an insect, not even squishing it in a tissue and flushing it down the toilet. What I do is find a magazine or something and get the insect to crawl onto it, then rush into the bathroom to flush down the still-living fucker. If it's a flying bug, I just do everything in my power to get it out of my room.

I'm extremely glad I don't live in a temperate climate where they've got huge beetles and spiders the size of my fist. I would go crazy.

i've got a horror story for those afraid of insects (spiders specifically).
i was sleeping on the floor of my parents bedroom (i had a nightmare

). i woke up suddenly and there was a huge spider crawling onto my face in the direction of my mouth. it's true. by the way, insects are awesome... especially spiders (even though they are arachnids

).

@Alpha. I see your point. I can't kill a harmless bug. But scorpions... MUST... DIE!

When I was a kid, I lived in a pretty old apartment building in Hong Kong. A whole bunch of fist sized spiders lived in the drainage/pipes, not a pretty sight.

I don't mind insects normally, but when they get in my apartment I get all paranoid and must drive them out before I get any peace of mind. And when it's a bee or something like that, ramming itself repeatedly against the windows in a desperate attempt to get out...gah, that sound gives me the creeps.

Fire. Have this reoccuring nightmare that I'm gonna die in a house fire and it freaks me out.

Once, I put on my shoe [in my house] and felt something in one toe, then when I took off my shoe, I reached in to take it out and felt something like crab legs... shook it out, there was a balled-up spider the size of a quarter

Biggest spider I'd ever seen running free, no species I recognized, and it the first time I ever screamed like a girl [even being a girl, fancy that!].

Biggest mistake I made, letting it out of my sight... I had no idea where it went...

*ultra-hyper-paranoid*

^ one time when my mom was in Trinidad, she walked into the kitchen of the house she was staying in, and there was spider on the counter the size of her fist (leaving room for exaggeration., of course

)

Being robbed while I'm not at home, and losing my whole game collection.
Having my car stolen/vandelized.

I can relate to that one.

Whenever I put my car up on stands, I also have 1 ramp under every wheel.

2 years ago I was at my buddy's place and he was working on his car (300Z). He has the front of it up on ramps, but there was something odd about how it was up and I don't remember what. Anyway, he was under it futzing with the oil pan when something gave way and it rolled backwards only a few inches before it caught again.

But that split second is quite terrifying, and I wasn't the one under the car.

yeah, people who DON'T want to have freakishly wierd fetishes thrust in their face are the frightening ones. Newly "converted" Furries running around with the desperate need to post pictures and info of their "new selves" all over the internet and then frantically demand acceptance from everyone else around them...

I fear for the future.

I was being sarcastic, man. Don't worry. Chalk it up to the lack of rest.

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Mon Mar 14, 2005 12:04 pm

Yeah, umm. Losing my whole game collection would be a pretty nasty thing too, though it never crossed my mind. I lost a large chunk of my comic book collection though when I was in my early "teens".

One bloke borrowed a whole bunch of comics from me. A friend of a friend. Yeah... "He's a nice bloke. Don't be so paranoid about your god damn comic books. How old are you anyways?" After about three weeks of silence, I go to his house and I'm all "My comics man! Where are they? I need them, and I need them now!". The dude calmly replied that he sold them, 'cause he was in a bad need of money.

And that was pretty much it. I couldn't trace the stuff back since that idiot wasn't even sure who did he sell them to. Breaking his arms haven't brought my collection back either.

So when I think about it, losing the games would be the end of me. All the titles for all possible platforms, PCBs... the consoles themselves. It's a small fortune. I'd rather have my car stolen. Twice.

Years of reading Somethingawful.com have given me a bad case of furryphobia, too. I live in constant fear that some 300 pound nerd in a Pepe Le Pew outfit is going to sneak into my room and have sex with my Dragon Warrior Slime plushie.

when my dad was a kid he collected comics, he doesn't remember specifics, but it is likely that he had first prints of a lot of the 60's Marvel stuff. Anyway, my grandma was always telling him to clean his room, but he never listened. One day he got from school/work/something and she had "cleaned" his room for him (read: threw away most of his stuff, including the comics). GOOOOO GRANDMA!!! WOOOOO!

True story.
In November i was camping out in the Australian outback, between Alice Springs and Uluru(Ayers Rock). We were sleeping outside in swags (Kind of sleeping bag with a thin matras roll), and it was great, being able to look at the stars which to me were all upside down as i was used to seeing the constalations from the northern hemisphere.

Anyway early in the morning before dawn i felt something crawling across my body. I woke up but stayed very still. This is when i realized that it was more than one "creature" crawling but several in fact. I waited a few minutes trying to breath as normally as possible with my mind screaming launguage that would make a $2 whore blush and reached out, slowly, for my pocket torch.

There from my waist down were 3 scorpions. They had small claws, which meant that they had very potent venom in their sting (or so i had read somwhere) so naturally i thought i was about to meet my doom. I didn't know what to do, however i managed to take off my t-shirt and flick them off me. I got out of the swag and checked the surrounding area for any more of the bastards, which luckly there weren't.

There was no danger of me sleeping the rest of that night. I told my story to the guide and he laughed saying that the sting would not kill me and it would have been just like a bee sting.
Fucker!
For all he knew i could have been alergic.

Acid King · Post by **Acid King** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 8:10 pm

I'm afraid of forgetting things i.e. leaving my car/apartment unlocked, leaving the stove on, or just plain leaving something behind. This past saturday my band played in Philly and the whole drive to the bar I was worried I had forgotten something... time comes around for us to play (we were the last band), I open up my cymbal bag and realize I forgot my crash/ride. As soon as that happened I thought of standing in our practice space and thinking "arright... do i have everything?"

Other than that, I'm terrified of getting arrested on drug related charges, mostly due to the increasingly nazi tactics the government uses against drug users. Did you know that a handful of states have intoxicated driving laws that treat anyone with trace amounts of drugs in their system as being intoxicated? As Machine that Flashes once said, it's a drug induced paranoia firmly based in reality.
