Phobia

Not about the webmaster... it's about fear.

I just had a gigantic wasp fly into my room. As big as a
fucking cat. His buzz was as loud as a lawnmower, I fucking
swear.

He flew onto my shoulder, and I shrieked like a little girl,
then it went onto my keyboard and started eating crumbs in
between the keys. I stood in my door for awhile admiring how
fucking HUGE this thing was. It was 10 feet long, 3 feet
wide, or so it seemed.

So I went upstairs to get my mom to kill him. I was too
scared. She got a fly swatter and smacked him off the
keyboard, and the gigantic fucker somehow STUCK to the
swatter, and my mom was shrieking like you couldn't believe.
She yelled my name, and she was genuinely terrified, a blood
curdling yell. But I was already running upstairs scared to
hell. So she SMASHED that enormous wasp into my floor, aided
by adrenaline. She was really pissed at me for leaving her
to fend for herself against this flying, humming NIGHTMARE.

The remiains are just as scary, a HUGE mass of wasp guts and
limbs. This thing was immense. We have to find out how these
things are getting in the house, there's at least two a day.
NONE of them has ever made it into my room, though.

I think I have a phobia of bugs. I really was horrified, my
mom saved the day. I can't stop giggling at my mom's
horrified screech, but I'm also ashamed that I'm such a
pussy.

What scares you?

Hey, I'm a big strong man, I just have a phobia of insects
and creepy little things. If it was a bear or a crocodile, I
would have said ''step aside, mom, I'll handle this'' and
kick its ass and skin it and wear it as a trophy.

Phobias are just so debilitating, though.

SOOOOO bad when i kill one...

it was just trying to survive...minding it's own business,
and i come along and end it's life... it's even worse when
they look like they didn't die in the first stomp...

funny story Ophecks=)

Clobe::yeah drowning must be really horrible
or getting your throat cut by a sharp knife.....

My real phobia is/was dogs.
I got attaced (twice) when i was very little.My mom (a very
wise woman) tell me that it developed to a phobia because i
was so little that i had not learned to speak yet and
therefor i could not deal with it.
But that is better now , i can be with them when they are
calm.
But still when a dog runs towards me i freeze , even if i
know it is friendly and just wants to say hello and that i
probably could kill it very easy haha!!

I also used to be afraid of heights but that dissapeard when
i worked as a painter one summer climbing on latters n
shit.

Phobias can be cured.

I hear ya... computers have killed my marks. I can't be
bothered with anything not having to do with music, and
computers have SOOO many things to do regarding music.
Making it, listening to it, downloading it, reading about
it, talking about it... gyrargh.

"crumbs in between the keys"

That's my phobia, while I'm eating crums manage to like
gravitate from my mouth to in between the keyboard, I can be
three feet away from my computer and half of my sandwhich
will still fall into my computer. There must be something
living in there feeding off 'em.

Wasp are cunts, i think anyone who is not scared of them is
the weird one.

I mean when a wasp files into the room, your told to 'stand
still' and it will go away by itself. WHAT KIND OF FUCKING
ADVISE IS THAT!!!??

A wasp to me is simply a flying dart, to keep well away
from

I HATE moths as well. they have no sense of direction, so
instead of keeping away from you they just fly randomly, and
occasionally u'll feel a furry wing stroking ur face or a
soft (yet firm) object trying to enter your ear.

I sympathise entirely, i hate wasps!
At college once i smaked a huge one wih a ruler and cut it
in half, the ass half fell off but the wings/head section
flew off on it's own at double speed, really freaked me
out.
The only thing worse than wasps are eels 'cos they are evil
ugly bastards and kind of look at you funny, if you give
them the chance...

There was ANOTHER wasp about a half hour ago, but I

Looked everwhere. Can't figure out how these fuckers get in,
