Woodlice??

I actually hated even typing the title of this. *shudders*. I always call them "W's", if I ever have to talk about them. I hate reading about them too, eve just reading the word. I seriously have such a giant phobia, it's insane. I physically can't do gardening, without being so stupidly paranoid that it takes me about 10 minutes to pull up 1 weed, in case a W is hanging onto it underneath. I also hate digging around in the bathroom or kitchen - or any other places where there might be any possible dark, damp places.

I also link stupid things with Ws - for example, once, I picked up an old sock on my bedroom floor, but it had a W on it, and I screamed and threw it across the room. Even though I've now moved bedrooms (moving was *not* due to Ws, can I just say XD just due to space and stuff like that.), I can't actually pick up a sock that's been left on the floor. Or any clothes that have been left on the floor. If I do it's to quickly fling them across the room to the door, to be picked up later by my mum and put in the wash. Also, once, about 6 years ago at least, I found a W in the bath at my aunt's house. Now, I can't lie down in the bath wherever I have a bath.

And the list goes on.

I have many nightmare about them, and I often can't sleep because I can't stop thinking about them.

Anyone have a fear of them too?

When i was little, W's were my favourite things!

In my front garden we had this broken step, i would open it and there would be hundreds of them crawling over the place. Summers were my favourite as i could sit on the step all day playing with the big family of W's, kinda like my friends when my real friends were having dinner or whatever. I'd find them leaves to eat and gave them some water everyday. Somedays there'd even be a spider or some ants in the step too. I also spent most days going around both gardens looking for more W's to put in the step to join the happy family!

Earwigs are what i have a fear of. Probably one of the only things that makes my heart race.

We called them rolly-pollies and I used to play with them when I was little. I was always curious why they bothered to roll into little balls. It's not like they were any more protected that way. It made me feel sorry for them somewhat.

The bug I hate the most is red wasps.

[shy-girl]

I don't hate them- but I've never loved them as much as my sister who used to eat them. Which is just really gross.
I find slugs are far worse.

[xXxXx]

I used to collect them in my pockets with bark when I was teeny. I called them Harrolds lol.

Jacklinger I think you're talking about pillbugs? They roll up into balls, W's don't though?

oh god i hate those. i hate almost every bug imaginable. especially caterpillars, i just hate their mushy bodies and i hate when they're fuzzy, eww. and i HATE the kind that have suction cup legs, like when they crawl onto you and just stick there *gags*

typing this is making me shiver....

I only get scared of bugs that are either hard to kill or spread diseases.

My parents live in a beautiful (though admittedly rather scary and totally untamed) forest on a mountain and I can't even go for a walk because there are deer ticks out there. I get nervous around strange dogs in the countryside for the same reason -- I don't think they'll bite, I'm afraid they have ticks. I got bit by one as a kid but it wasn't found until weeks later (on the back of my neck under my hair) and it was HUGE. I was rushed to the doctor who had to basically burn it off me. Amazed I didn't get lyme or something.

Bedbugs are the same. I love hotels but I can't stay in one without doing a detailed examination of everything for bedbugs, though I've never seen one in real life.
