Haha, Coda, I would about **** myself if I was stung again. I'd be like,"OMFG I'M GOING TO DIE!" and flip out. It would truly be my most embarrassing moment in life.


Lol I so scared the second time it happened...but after nothing happened for about a minute I was calm again but it hurt a lot and my wrist was swollen...the three places I was stung were the back of my neck..my wrist(a dead bee did it lol!) and my shin

I hate them so much... I remember this one time in Biology class, the teacher brought a Wolf spider (I think) and it was inside like a jar. Anyway, the teacher comes over to my desk and releases the thing. Everyone was crowded around me so I couldn't move away from my desk lol, it freaked me out.

As ignorant as it may sound. I wish spiders would just die out.

I would cry if all the spiders died out. I dunno why people are so staunchly afraid with spiders. I have to say I agree with Kyari, lmao:

arachnophobia is just a fashion craze
Its not like theyre killing machines. They dont look any creepier than any other bug (IMO), and there are more deadlier things out there... Like clowns *shudder*

Bored, how about you give me all the spiders in the world, and I will keep them in an Arachno-Sanctuary, far away from you, and I will train them to do my bidding.

And much fun will be had :chuckle:

I don't fear spiders, in fact If i ever see a spider on the ground I'll pick it up and put it outside, it's a easy and effort free way of obtaining man points

Girl: Eeek spider!!!
Me: Have no fear Superjelly is here
(picks up spider, puts it outside)
Girl: My hero *swoon*

However in England, there are few if any poisonous spiders, so picking one up is pretty risk free.

I don't like them. I'm terrible at killing them. I get all shaky when I get out a magazine or something, and when I hit it, I basically run away and then come back because I get so squeamish around them.

But the thing I really get scared around are centipieds. My god, those things are freaky. They aren't that common to see, but one time, I was in my basement reading this instruction book for something, and I saw one. I hate those things deeply, because when you hit them, they keep squirming. And they move so freakishly...So anyway, I saw a pretty big one, not like those tiny things, more like 2 inches long, and I flip out cause the thing was pretty fast. I lifted the open book over my head, and just threw it downward. I just threw it straight at the ground and got freaked out and backed up. I lifted the book to find a squished centipied on it. I threw the book back down and went upstairs to get my mom to get the thing off.

I am really that bad. I can't dispose of insects for some reason...But especially centipieds. I have...um...Centiaphobia...or something.

yeah, i forget about centipedes sometimes but when i' m reminded of them they creep me out worse than any spider. i don't think i have a real phobia for anything, but a centipedes are interesting and strange at the same time.

Some centipedes can move at 30 miles an hour, take down a full-grown elephant in one bite and screech just before attacking. They are responsible for a full quarter of deaths of children under three years of age and have been known to gather in packs of up to 20.

Knowledge is power. Also, shoes.

Yeah I have arachnophobia pretty bad, it's my only fear though so I guess it's all right

Has anyone seen that movie "Arachnophobia" with Jeff Daniels? Well it actually gave me arachnophobia. Well, that, and "The Incredible Shrinking Man" where he fights the spider with the needle. . . . . scary stuff:urg:

you know, everyone has a natural distrust of spiders because they are so unlike us, in that they have more than two eyes and 8 legs.Can you think of any other animal with alot of eyes off the top of your head(flies and bees dont count because they do have two eyes with alot of lenses). We also don't like the way they scurry around on the ground. Lol, my brother helped me type this, he loves animals.;)

I have arachnophobia terribly. Usually, Im even unable to squash it.... If they run away into a corner, Im anxous to go in, because my fear overpowers me into believing they'll return with greater numbers and destroy me...

Im completely serious... it's my only phobia..well, that, and heights...

i love spiders, as long as they love me back.
i dont got a problem with a big hairy one perching on my shoulder, AS LONG as i know it isnt venomous or poses any threat.

i hate it when people kill bugs out of fear.
dont ever kill if you dont need to, just scoop it up in a cup and toss it out the window, whatever.

My ex made me scoop up a centipede in his room and take it outside(lul, I don't kill bugs). I thought I was scared of centipedes, but he was terrified.
