Fuck man, that's disgusting. If that happened to me I'd curl under my blankets and just lay there lifelessly for several hours. Oh, and I'd brush my teeth about a dozen times and use half a bottle of Listerine antiseptic mouthwash.

I almost died when I opened my car and one of these huge fuckers fell on my head. I'm envious of any country that doesn't contain such monstrous beasts spewed from the pits of hell.
Oh. ..My. God. I almost died when I clicked that fucking spoiler tag. Christ.

I know dude im reading this thread and like every time I feel a slight sensation anywhere on my body I freak the fuck out, also this
Is that a FUCKING BIRD?
Was funny as shit.
BTW, Gosu add timing, I opened this page and there is a frickin Terminex add on the top of the page. HA! Now that's what I call marketing to a vulnerable audience.

This thread gives me the chills.
I asked my mom to give me some of the highest-proof liquor in the house. Sadly, she did not oblige :/ and i ended up just sitting by myself for a while, mortified. After that, the ice cream called my name, and i just took the container out of the fridge(i microwaved the other bowl until it was almost boiling, and poured it down the drain with the food disposal on) and ate it while keeping the top over it as much as possible. That monday wasn't very funday.
This seems like a good place to introduce my theory of the most douchebag bug ever: The Wasp. It's like a bee, but it doesn't help us in any way. It doesn't make honey. It doesn't die when it stings you. It JUST sucks. It's a rampaging, pissed-off asshole of a bug who's sole purpose in life is to make yours worse.
EDIT: After looking through everything in this thread, I've found I'm not at all afraid of bugs. But spiders scare me shitless... I can stare at videos of the largest, scariest bugs ever and I'm interested and want to see more. But fucking spiders are scary shit somehow... I wonder what the difference is to me o.O
2nd EDIT: I think it's because I have mad respect for bugs (particularly, ants). Specific species of those little bastards can lift up 6x their own weight, jump like 10x their body, kill animals hundreds of times their size in one bite, and genetically work as a greater army than any people. Their born into an elite fighting/surviving/scavenging society. That's SO fucking cool to me.

Not to mention some of them lay their eggs inside other LIVING insects and their larvae eat them alive while they are paralysed.
I have some weird 'thing' that if a bug touches me I spaz out as if it shocked me until it's not in contact with me anymore. So instead, I always do wild motions in order to dodge the bug, and usually end up hurting myself because of a chair, door, wall, etc. However, even while in pain, I'm thinking "Whew, that was totally worth... EEK" And then I grab my trusty thin encyclopedia and try to smack it out of the air. When the bug is on the ground however, I just pick it up with a tissue and throw it out the window, because I don't want to kill it o.o
Not scared of insects or spiders. I wouldn't let them crawl around on me for fun, but don't run around screaming when I see them.
We have something we call Christmas Beatles - They look like flying peanuts. They are so clumsy, they literally just fly into walls until they die which is extremely irritating. Sometimes I assist them.
I found the only thing that pretty much puts me from 0 - 100 on the rage meter - when a bug flies near my face. Moths, beatles, whatever. You have an entire planet to go buzz around on, why must you fly in front of my face while I'm playing Starcraft. Instant death sentence for that bug.
Probably the most disgusting bug we have in South Africa:

Small bugs only scare me when I come into contact with them, with the exception of house flys, mosquitos (die you fuckers) and other harmless pests.
BIG BUGS on the other hand..... I'm not a ninja but I sure as hell look like one when I run into a decently sized bug. I'll jump over tables, kick over chairs, hop counters all in order to save my life.

You took the words straight out of my mouth.
I don't freak out when it comes to small/common insects but fucking anything bigger than an inch, fuck that shit. In my old house around fall there were so many damn earwigs near my desk, would constantly have to watch out for them as they would always get on my mouse hand when I played.... Fearing bugs though when you think about it rationally is quite silly lol, being scared of something a fraction of your size.

This is literally word for word what I was going to post when I saw that.

Centipedes and millipedes are the worst fucking things in the world. Just looking at one on the monitor freaks me the fuck out. + Show Spoiler +
Like JESUS FUCK WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? GET THAT SHIT OFF YOUR FUCKING HAND OMG.
Cockroaches are fucking terrible, too. UGSOIDUFPOSUDFLKSFCJOPIAS UCPODISCUJS
I don't even understand the fear at all. I used to not be afraid of them. I remember I'd used to find catterpillars in my backyard when I was younger and I'd show it to everyone, let it crawl on my hand and shit... now they freak me out. I don't understand it.
Oddly enough, big spiders dont scare me. Small ones? Yeah, fuck off. Get away from me. But this thing? + Show Spoiler +
I find that thing cool as shit. My neighbour had a pet tarantula and having it on me didn't scare me at all. :/
This is pretty much how I am I think the reason big spiders aren't as scary is because you can see everything they do and feel it, whereas little spiders can sneak up on you.
I used to be terrified of spiders, so I got a few tarantulas as pets. I even let them run around on my hand/arm a few times. After that I could smash any house spider with my bare hand if I needed to. Now centi/millipedes are a different story. All those legs moving the way they do just looks so...unnatural.
