I am never going outside of my apartment again. EVER.

I would apologize, but the damage is already done.
To make that seem less dangerous tho, or at least put it in perspective, Weather and Miscellanery that is far worse, and possibly more likely to affect you, unless you are in Japan. At which points the Hornets may actually get you first.

Edit:I really meant for that to help, but re-reading it, all I can think is how today I feel especially doomed, and I might be just exasperating the situation. Well, at least the Large Hadron Collider isn't a Bee. sweatdrop

No worries. I'll probably eventually come across something worse that'll make me forget about the bugs. Probably.

The weather one is actually pretty interesting. The cosmic events one is rather..."s**t we're ********.

Someone went in to one of my classrooms the other night, and with a socket wrench, actually stole a projector. Seriously, of all the things to steal... they picked a projector eek

I'm really glad I already knew about most of those bugs sweatdrop But that hornet is a new one, that's just not right crying

OH. We had freaking earwigs too. ALL OVER OUR BACKYARD. Earwigs are terrifying freaky creatures. I got onto this climby swingset thing once and hundreds of them started pouring out of all its nooks and crannies and openings.

I have never ran that fast or screamed that loud in my entire life. x_x

Earwigs look freaking SCARY! gonk Although, I did a bit of reading, and apparently they have no venom or real pinching capabilities. They just look seriously nasty.

those things freakin' hurt! holy crap, i actually had one in my ear (granted, anything squirming around in one's ear kinda hurts), but that was agony!

oddly, i'm okay with bees. i sat on one once when i was a kid, but i've gone straight into the branches of an orange tree when it was in bloom. bees aplently, no sting. i've wafted them away from food and drink, no sting.

I'm terrified of earwigs. HORRIFIED AND APPALLED. If the popular idea of the devil were a reality, THEY WOULD BE HIS UNHOLY AVATAR UPON THE EARTH. D=

I once came out of the library when I was little to find them all over my bike. My mom spent an hour shaking them all out from inside the pipes. Thousands of them. *cries uncontrollably*

Hmm... My brother had one crawling on his leg once and claimed that it hurt a fair bit. That's two stories now that contradict the website info. Maybe the pain is due to the grasping of little clawed feet as part of locomotion as opposed to any aggressive action?

Well, the idea was that seeing all those things might induce a level of... hmm... how to put this in English... Comfortable resignation to eventual, inevitable, and often arbitrary, obliviation?
You know, sorta liek that sense of freedom that some people describe when they realize they have only a sliver of time left to live.
I'm really bad at this. sweatdrop xd
What I mean is, if we all realize that our dooms could be upon us at any moment from things so far beyound our control, it makes all the little things we can see coming less scary, right?

Twice this semester my roommate has locked me out while I was in the shower.

This seriously pisses me off since the only way to get back in is to go downstairs to the front desk and get a temporary key and it costs ten dollars per lockout. stare

I'm really sorry guys, I didn't mean to traumatize everyone. sweatdrop
There are scarier details about them if you want, just look at Cracked. I figure, as I have already started this I might as well take it all the way.

I'm never EVER going into rainforests. Ever. It's bad enough the bees are in the Southern United States as it is. gonk

That's reasonable enough, because look what it's done to our poor chat thread. sweatdrop

Sorta like the whole Camel spider surprise many of my former comrades got in Iraq.
They still swear the thing was the size of a greyhound, and reminded them of a zergling from Starcraft more than any natural creature they had seen.

That's news to me. o_o

You know, maybe I should make a map of the world festooned with Here There Be Monsters all over the place, each a link to the most vicious TTYTSNB.

That would be a cool project actually. 3nodding

My roommate and I lock the door unintentionally. Our door sometimes locks itself. stare Which means I have to run around the entire residence looking for a don to open my door.

One time I ran around and none of the dons were there. gonk I had to ask one of the office ladies.

See, unless the window's open on my side (it wasn't) and it's REALLY windy out (it wasn't), our door doesn't lock unless you slam it really hard or pull it shut behind you.

Ok, I'd really like to comment on this bee convo, but I can't really relate. I'm ok with bee's and wasps (hornets scare me though).

What i'm scared of is CATERPILLARS. Don't laugh, it's a serious phobia whee . I feel panicky just thinking about them! If I see pictures of them I get all squeamish and weird, I check tree's in summer before I walk under them....and if I see them i'm gone. xD Ughhh, how can people think they are cute?

I'm also really bad with blood tests. I'm fine with needles and fine with blood, but somehow together? I pass out before AND during them. xD
