Yeah but those camel spiders aren't as big as they seem and they aren't venomous. Not saying I wouldn't cry like a girl if one was on me, but I would rather have that than be attacked by most of the things in Australia like the infamous funnel web spider.

Yeah, they're more scary for the creepy effect.

Some of those Australian spiders that eat birds, fish, and snakes are badasses of the animal kingdom.

Driving on 4 lane highways. I am to the point now I can't do it. Can't even tell you the last time I drove on one. Sometimes I'm weird about driving on other roads too, but the highways are a definite no.

Pisses me off because I have no idea why. It started when I was about 23 or so (first time I remember having issue on the highway). Nothing to trigger it. I used to love highway driving.

If a four-lane highway is bad, I can only imagine how bad an eight-lane highway.

Yeah, I was just gonna say you'd probably have an aneurysm on the Kennedy in Chicago.

Wow same. I can't wear shirts that are tight around the collar, can't button the last button on a dress shirt when I wear a tie, nor can I sleep in a shirt for this same reason.

Bugs with a lot of a legs, centi/millipeds. Those things freak me out.

Right. It worsens with each lane. I don't even really like riding with someone on a highway.

Going through downtown Chicago doesn't bother me as much. It seems when traffic is tight and close, I'm not as bad when it's wide open and fast.

I know, weird.

How do you go places that aren't pretty much right around you?

I can ride ok, actually better about that than I used to. Otherwise, I find an alternate route if it's reasonable. Otherwise, I don't have much need to go too far anyway.
