Which Insect/Animal/Fish Creeps you out?

[kirupa]

After the biggest fears thread, all of the talk about creepy insects made me very hungr...I mean, intrigued. So, just out curiosity (and to sell to a marketing agency :evil: ), which insect/animal/fish creeps you out the most?

Cheers!
Kirupa :P

[hificopymaster]

Poodles. :pa:

The Japanese Hornet - It's about the size of an adults pinky finger. Scary as hell.

Any spider also..

I'm not scared of fish since I dont go in natural water much :P! I stay in the one that comes out of my shower...

Anything hidden in the ocean abled to hurt me with poison

60 inch dogs whose holders keep telling me "he's harmless, he just want's to play"

[Jasninder]

mosquitoes and rats and all other except the ones which cause mass epidemics, i like them all..they are an important part of food chain...

[moncreyweasel]

Man those pictures freak me out -- i used to be deathly afraid of bees.

I dont know what they are called, but there are these moth things that are colored like rocks; a bunch of them were chillin moth style on a path somewhere on the appalachian trail in Vermont and when i got near, they flew at me and they tried like crazy to get in my ears!!! Fr!kkin scariest thing right there.

Anything hidden in the ocean abled to hurt me with poison

Oh man.. once i stepped on a jellyfish somewhere near monterey beach, Cali, and it started vibrating! Luckily it didnt sting me, i swam like hell!

[Jasninder]

[color_loser_pup]

[andr.in]

I hate spiders, scorpions, bugs.. icky stuff like that.

[mlk]

Only anacondas. If any other animal can't eat me. I'll eat'em.

[fester8542]

COC K ROACHES (stupid filter)

I hate 'em, they crunch when you crush them... ah!!!

and I don't really mind many other things, except of course, the tiny centipedes!

[hificopymaster]

cockroaches

It doesn't get caught by the filter. :h:

[thoriphes]

I think I'm going to go with any carnivorous creature in the ocean. Can't run from them :-/

[McGiver]

I guess he had problems with the c ock.

maybe filter ignores it in your post since you are female

[Jeff Wheeler]

it was because he had it with no space like cockroaches, but if you have **** roaches then it puts in the filter, like it just did :P

[hificopymaster]

The filter is gender sensitive??? :h: If that's true, that's awesome.

One insect that makes me really angry are ladybugs. Especially with the bloody invasion of the yellow ones. It's insane.

Other than that, I've been somewhat scared of hornets ever since my sister "disturbed" a hornet's nest in our backyard and ran like mad all over the neighbourhood while they chased her. She was stung twice. And she was 6.

[EDIT] Ohhh.... for future reference, cockroaches doesn't have a space in it. :P

[McGiver]

The filter is gender sensitive??? If that's true, that's awesome.
sorry but http://64.246.26.121/forum/images/smilies/xtra8.gif

[hificopymaster]

:lol: I know I know. But I was just imagining what it would be like to have a gender sensitive filter. And it would be awesome, would it not? :P

[Jeff Wheeler]

but then I COULD say I was a girl and say **** roaches all day long without the silly filter :P

[McGiver]

yeah it would be :P
but since there are no fields where you enter your gender kirupa would have am lot of work finding out the members' gender.

[hificopymaster]

Well, maybe Kirupa's a closet AI geek, who set up a bot to read all of a user's posts and determine (based on word choice and sentence structure and statements like "I'm a female") what the user's gender is.

[EDIT] That's true bp, the "I'm a female" bit might throw things off when people start lying. :P Scratch that. I'm pretty sure the rest is possible. :)

[Jeff Wheeler]

but sense we already know that everybody on the forum except three people are guys, it wouldn't really be that hard ;)

[Jasninder]

hey fester its jelly fish...i mean a group of them...they come out of the sea and stay on the shore, many people step on them and get stung...I noticed they only used to come out on fridays (holidays there) beaches are more crouded then..i lived 10 secs away from the beach and used to spend a lot of time there...someone told me they get attracted to the human scents..dont know if its a myth or that happens for real...i am gona post some more gross pics tomorrow :P good nite ppl

[DariusMonsef]

Any bug creeps me out. This 6'2" 200 pounds of muscles turns into a 11 year old girl anytime a bug is near me. Especially when on me. I hate bugs... I hate them.

[REEF·]

Any bug creeps me out. This 6'2" 200 pounds of muscles turns into a 11 year old girl anytime a bug is near me. Haha that's hilarious the way you typed that :lol:. I can imagine the little manly scream turning into a high squeaky wimpy yell.

[thoriphes]

while we're on the topic...

[DariusMonsef]

ok, and aliggators too. Well anything that can bite of a limb is scary.

[hificopymaster]

Don't you think giraffes are scary? I mean, the way they just stand there, all... silent. It's like they're plotting something. And then they stick their tongues in your car at African Lion Safari (fellow Ontarians should know what I'm talking about).

[liam]

octupuses really freak me out, i hate things with tentacles...

there was this show on pbs last night about the giant octopus, in can be like 16 feet long....

[McGiver]

did I mention that I am afraid of any person heavier than 130 kg walking on stairs over me.
I guess this is because a ~300kg women fell down the stairs on me when I was 8. (sure you all know the scene in Indiana Jones where this big stone is ralling through a corridor. The difference was that the fall of the fat woman was stopped abruptly after 2 rotations when she bruised my little brother and me against the banister.

[garyzero]

That would be Sharks, if it was legal I would love to be a shark hunter, and Bigfoot, Yeti, Sasquatch. I have dreams of Bigfoot chasing me through the woods.

[DariusMonsef]

Anyone else afraid of Horses?? Those things are 900 pounds of rock hard muscle. If by chance they grow opposable thumbs or decide they're meat eaters... we're all screwed.

Horses creep me out.

[hificopymaster]

Horses creep me out. Agreed. But I maintain that giraffes are worse.

[moncreyweasel]

Liam, are giant octopuses carnivores?
oh god.. thats my new worst fear... scuba diving and being approached by a hungry giant squid!! Holy crap, that would be terrifying. Um... not that i scuba dive a lot or anything, hehe.
actually come to think of it, I was afraid of that for a while after i saw 10,000 leagues under the sea as a lil kid. EEK creepy, hadnt thought of that in a while.

[Coppertop]

spiders kinda creep me out. but not really. hardly really. wait. no. not at all.

flys and mosquitoes (canada's national bird :sigh: ) piss me off, but I don't think that counts.

I dunno really. I'll have to get back to you on this.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I see...


:trout:

Thanks for the clarification.

Still reminds me of tremors though :beam:

[ScriptFlipper]

Well, these huuuuge friggin spiders in that movie Jumanji - those FREAK ME OUT!
Oh yeah, they exist in another movie too, Eight Legged Freaks hehe
that would be the ultimate nightmare for me!

[moose]

Must say that spiders sketch me out beyond all reason. Come to think of it, anything with more than four legs (or appendages, I guess, because octupi are freaky too) is iffy, more than six is just ... unacceptable. Wow, I freaked out during that Aragog scene in Harry Potter II ... I really really hope I'm not the only one.

I also have issues with eels, come to think of it. Especially those HUGE disconcertingly yellow ones that they have at the aquarium... *shudder*

Good thoughts to think of right before bed, I must say.

[SlowRoasted]

anything dangerous that has 6-8 legs
