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. In fact, just typing this report makes me feel like something is on me.
What about you? Do centipedes freak you out too? What other insects make your skin crawl?
