Things that CRAWL

I have a passionate disgust for creepy crawlies.  Seeing bugs crawl is my hell.  I hate them more than most people can imagine.  I would rather be looking in the eyes of a rattlesnake than a tic.  

I had to put a picture of a cartoon bug because pictures of REAL bugs were making me freak out!!!!!!!!

Yesterday at lunch, I sat down with a beautiful piece of chicken from my work’s cafeteria.  Next thing I know, a piece of pepper on that chicken seemed to move.  I thought I was losing my mind.  I examine the pepper.  It seems larger than the rest of the pepper.  I grab a napkin, pick it off and it starts CRAWLING around my napkin!  I ALMOST DIED!  

Needless to say, I ate a dinner roll for lunch yesterday.

Later, the same day, as I’m telling my awful story to Becky Beerme, a roach the size of my fist (no joke) crawls across our path.  EEWWWWW!!!  We took off running down the hallway in the opposite direction as if a grizzly bear was coming to attack.  

Some bugs gross me out worse than others.  ANY bug that has ANY ability to go UNDERNEATH your skin is WAY worse than a normal bug.  Bugs that live on humans and feed off our blood literally makes me gag!  I can handle the occasional ant hill, they’re a dime a dozen.  But put a spider on my pillow and I’m probably not sleeping in my bed EVER again.  

When I see something crawling, I literally start feeling itchy from my head to my toes.  I scratch my entire body, turn red, get goose bumps and look like a legit head case that just escaped the psych ward.  Yesterday, I felt like I had lice all day long.  

Call me a “girl” if you want, but my hate for these disgusting, vile creatures is beyond reason and there’s no talking me down!
