Centipedes Are Satan's Sperm With Legs!!
Another Condemned LS Adventure
Guys, I think I may have a serious problem. I have a phobia.
I was cleaning out my garage today. I had to reach up on a shelf to put an item away. Now keep in mind that it's 70-something degrees here so I'm wearing a wife-beater (that's ghetto-speak for 'sleeveless muscle tee'). This particular area of the garage was cast in shadows, so I couldn't exactly see what was on the shelf. I placed the box on it, and scooted it over a bit. Suddenly I felt something prickly come scurrying down the length of my arm...it was a ***king centipede.

Now, let's be clear: I'm a masculine dude. I don't cry. But I will admit here on the internet that I screamed like a little beeyotch when I realized that sucker was on me. I shook my arm so hard that I prolly looked like I was playing some sort of ******ed, sped-up version of The Hokey Pokey--just shaking my ass aaaaalllll about. The 'pede ran up my arm a bit and then fell off to the ground. I looked down at it. And...I think it looked up at me too. It was unmistakably ugly. I was enraged. It was put to death...execution style.

After I scraped its gooey goodness off the bottom of my sandal, I realized that I had accumulated literal beads of sweat on my forehead, neck and chest. Now keep in mind, I wasn't sweating at all before this ordeal. Yet, in just a few seconds this creature had actually freaked me out to the point where I was sweating in a frenzy. It was then that I realized that I HATE Centipedes. I've always hated them. They freak me out even worse than spiders. Even worse than roaches. I find them utterly disgusting.

And...I hate to admit it but...I think I am genuinely afraid of them. I guess I have officially diagnosed myself with Centipedophobia.

What about you? Do centipedes freak you out too? What other insects make your skin crawl?
