lol, so true!!!

I dont mind spiders. These damn things make me squirm though!!!

yeah, i know. anything with a well defined body and head(insects, aracnids, snakes, mammals, etc are ok) but grubs/millipedes/worms/centipedes etc(and some caterpillars) are the only animals i am reall scared of.

I think I would need years of intensive therapy to get over that.

I used to (maybe still do) have those in my house. They walk on walls a lot. If you squish them they leave a huge stain on teh wall if it's not treated. And their legs stay attached to the wall so you have to wipe them off. It's freaking gross.

LOL same here:(

I went to go pee the other night,and have a night light in the bathroom,
saw one of these crawling on the wall.
I grabbed the menthol shaving cream,and sprayed the ugly bug;then used some
toilet paper to grab the glob,and flushed it down the toilet. :)

Ugh that's disgusting.... I hate those *pedes. They sound cool, and look cool in cartoons, but in real life they look gross.

It's a tiny centipede! One time when I was a wee lad, we found one in our house that was about 7" long.

:confused:

I second that QFWTF. How does a centipede look anything like an ant!?! Someone failed 2nd grade biology!

hate these damn motherfsckers...I once saw one about as long as my pinky in the downstairs bathroom. I took the toilet brush and whacked it a few times (things are fsckin fast as hell) and after I was sure it was dead, I grabbed some TP to clean it up. It was only when I got a bot closer that I saw that a few of the friggin thing's legs had become detached from the body, but they were STILL FSCKIN KICKING AROUND. I ran from there faster than Rosie O' Donell after a krispy kreme truck
