Talking about snakes in the other thread got me to thinking. Snakes don't bother me at all. Had one slither in my house a couple of weeks ago..small White Oak....and I reached down and picked him up and showed him to my wife....who promptly passed out. (Beat my ass when she woke up) For some reason, snakes just don't give me the willys. But...

Wasps do. If one of those bastards even buzz by my head, I get chills from head to toe. I hate em'. I have like 6 cans of 20 foot stream Hot Shot around the house. Fuck a nest of wasps. They serve no purpose on this earth other than to terrorize me.

Spiders....they run a reeeeeal close second.

Yellow jackets and snakes scare the crap outta me. I think the yellow jackets are more of a memory jog...when I was 8 or 9, I was stung by a whole freaking nest of them. It has obviously scared me for life.

Few years ago, I'm driving down a busy 4 lane. Look up and there's this spider walking on the headliner of my car right above me. This was not your normal looking, garden variety spider. Had an abdomen the size of Cleveland and no doubt, poisonous enough to kill an elephant. There was a Lowes parking lot up ahead which was the first place I could pull off but I remember thinking, "If he drops on me....I am immediately steering into oncoming traffic and I will end it all right now."

Got into a nest of them once while mowing. My neighbor across the street thought I was on fire as I ran screaming like a bitch across the yard. They quit popping me and I went to my car to look at my reflection in the glass to see if any more were on me. Decided I'd better take off my shirt...reached down to grab my shirt and POW....

I got you beat.

Back when I was in construction we were doing a job in Central Florida. Our job site headquarters was an old gas station that had gone out of business years before. Needless to say it was pretty nasty and rundown. We had gone up there a couple of days before to clean the place up and load some stuff for the job.

The whole station was concrete block and had some holes in the walls probably 2-3 inches in diameter just in various locations. We are in there sweeping up and I shit you not a spider the size of my fucking hand comes out from one of the holes.

This was not like a tarantula, it was like a big meaty nasty looking bitch...so I am able to kill his ass with the broom. A little later we are sweeping in the garage part of the station and out pops another one. One of the guys helping us cleanup, steps on thing and it must have been carrying an eggsack all of sudden like a thousand little baby spiders are spread freakin everywhere....ughhhh still gives me the willies.

Snakes and Alligators

Townhallsavoy · « **Reply #16 on:** June 02, 2011, 05:33:56 PM »

Roaches.

If one runs into the room I am in, I leave. If I see one crawl underneath a couch, I stare at the couch until someone else finds it and kills it. If there's one crawling on my front steps when I take the dog to pee at night, I tell the dog she won't be peeing that night.

Don't like snakes. They make me jump.

But heights? I look over a ledge or something and it feels like my knees have turned to jelly and somebody is sticking a car battery to my chode area. Weird.

I get the same sensation watching other people in high places. Third floor and my daughter wants to sit on the rail of the balcony? Nope. My nuts have drawn up into my lungs.

I don't even like standing on a chair or climbing a ladder. Flying, though, doesn't bother me.

Oddly enough I spent half my childhood climbing 20 or 30 feet up into trees with little thought. Just did it. Now? Not going to get on the low branch.

Another for the heights. I discovered this at Rock City around the age of 6. Officially went on mine and the parent's list for worst day ever. Me because my pulse was about 300 the entire day, them because they had to carry me screaming across the swinging suspension bridge.

And spiders. Snakes I can see, spiders are sneaky and will drop down your collar and suck out all your blood and replace it with venom. If I walk into a spider web that I didn't see I am doing a dance and I don't care who sees.
