Anyone have one?

I can't stand mice or rats. They're basically harmless, but I hate them! Weirdly I don't mind spiders or snakes, but mice creep me out.

Don't like spiders, either, but what freaks you out is when those little critters can really move.

I use to do the toliet paper smash thing, but damned if it isn't like whack-a-mole with those fast little buggers. So now I just spray 'em with Raid. Raid catches them every time.

RDI and I are on the same path regarding the ocean, but not for sharks really. I just dont like any of the creatures that live in the water, and the fact I cant see SHIT freaks me the fuck out.

Now, Carribean water, I am cool with that. I still am freaked by the damn creatures and fish and shit, but if I can see them, no issues lol.

Cockroaches.

*edit* I changed the setting that censors it in the middle of the word. Apparently the censor is applied as it is posted and is written to the database with the ****. I thought it was censored on page load.

Does size matter, or will a bluegill freak you out?

I don't know what that is, but if a fucking minnow hit my leg i'd be like the road runner out of the damn water. I like going in when there are waves, but the second something touches me I'm done. I've been stung by jelly fish before too, that blows.

Its the fear of the unknown, really. Like RDI said, I dont know WHAT it could be, so I assume the worst. If I can see its just a bluegill or some other type of regular fish, fine. But I cant see shit in USA waters.

I dont mind dolphins though, despite their size. Ive actually been in the water with them in the wild and had them swim up and splash me and do jumps and stuff. Smart and playful animals.

Snakes. Only damn thing I am really afraid of. Not so much if I know they are there, but if I am mowing grass and see one, Ill jump back and get cold chills like a little girl.

Growing up in the middle of nowhere I was never really afraid of anything. I used to catch snakes, mice, crawdads, and anything else that is scary or nasty. Only thing that ever bugged me was spider webs. They are just nasty when you touch them. A certain kind of dog I am a little apprehensive about too. I also cannot wear anything around my neck. Tight collars, ties, and most t-shirts make me feel like I am being strangled.

Spiders. I despise them, but they are cool as hell to watch hunt or catch things in their web.
