April 4, 20205 yr Okay. You go first. Those fuckers give me the willies. They can spit that juice a long way. <<<<shhhhivvver>>>>

June 21, 20205 yr I usually don't mind spiders. But this motherfucker creeped me the freak out in the middle of my morning coffee. Almost as big as a tarantula. I didn't know wolf spiders could get this big.

June 28, 20205 yr Frogs. I hate frogs. For some reason they like to hang around my back patio..can’t figure how to make them go away.

May 23, 20223 yr I’ve just scrolled through the last three pages of this thread catching up and I’ve learned that @nnm has a pervasive and omnipresent fear of geese.

May 24, 20223 yr I don't know if it's irrational since scorpions do have a painful sting, but I am afraid of them. When we were touring homes prior to buying, there was a new build that I had an immediate and visceral dislike to due to the amount of scorpions that were discovered while walking around inside and out the property. Eek. I think it had something to do with watching that old version of Clash of the Titans that one of the cable channels aired.

In a gang of 8-9, one will be missing a leg, another's wing is dislocated. Bird #8 has neither eye... No wonder they give no fucks. For my money though, fuck scorpions.

June 9, 20223 yr We have aggressive Mockingbirds in the hood. They dive-bomb me and the dogs on our morning walk. Her nest must be near by and she'll follow us the length of the block making sure we "keep it moving"

Usually see them emerging from a dry burrow in late summer/early fall. They look absolutely horrible ... but are supposedly harmless. I've yet to FAFO.

I do not fuck with sharks or feed them when I’m diving or dive in a cage with them. Fuck. That. Jaguars. The fact they drop on you silently from above has deeply freaked me out since my dad told me that while watching Whinny the Pooh. It pissed me off all the shark feeding I see (I'm looking at you Bimini). That just makes life less safe for divers. Here's a jaguar v. crocodile video. The first one of these I saw, I thought, damn that poor cat is going to get eaten. Was I ever wrong.
May 6, 20241 yr Rats. My neighbor has a problem with them in a garage and I can barely walk I to it. I blame that movie Willard from when I was a kid.
May 6, 20241 yr Saw one of these dudes recently. Don't really bother me, but would probably scare some of you pussies:

May 7, 20241 yr Nothing to worry about. Usually harmless and almost never fatal. Just has a habit of sneaking into your room at night and crawling into your mouth while you're asleep.
