When I was at my old house I saw a huge black wasp-looking thing that had its stinger in a dead tarantula. It was using its stinger to drag the tarantula across my driveway. It's hard to describe the image. But they were ass to ass, the wasp walking one way, the tarantula being dragged facing the other. And since then I've been afraid of most insects.

That would be a Tarantula Hawk. A rather large insect that lays it's eggs inside a tarantula, for some reason (I forget). They do look like a BIG wasp, but they're harmless since they ignore humans.

Two weeks in an NHS hospital, Treated me like a pin cushion, Daily unnessicary blood tests, Giving me a lifelong phobia of needles.

And nearly drowning, In a landing pool of some rapids, With a lifeguard who tried to stop my mum pulling me out of the pool, He was too busy checking out the talent.

I have a new favourite insect.

The day I realized that religion didn't make any sense and that when I died I wasn't going to heaven or hell I was just going to stop existing. I was 8.

Probably most depressing thing in world to figure out...

It's gonna suck if you die and you find out that God exists

OT: The day a car crashed through my house and ran into me, leaving me a paraplegic.

Don't worry I still try to have some hope (as stated before having it makes you a lot more happy)
Also bible also some very good points and a huge understanding, but i cant shape my mind to believe it but i still some-what believe

off topic though,

One of my friend still has night mares of a guy getting run over he saw, poor guy.

Taking a Burning Cigarette to the Temple, or getting in a car crash that left my Entire forehead as a Scab

How'd the cigarette thing happen?

one of moms freinds did a a hand gesture, my head just happened to be in the same space as the hand and the Cig, the mark it made is actualy still there

Oh, he he he he, i thought you took a still burning cigarette of ground and walked into your temple with it, and got into trouble. Misinterpretation

 

[dont_blink]

i had to stop reading this thread half way through 'cause it made me too sad =[

For about two years of my childhood there was about an 80% chance that, on any given week, when I woke up in the mourning I would find my house smashed up and my mum downstairs crying.

Oh, getting stung by a wasp was an absolute ***** as well; they unnerve so much during the summer.

 

[Just Pman]

Wow. My expieriences are mere papercuts to yours. Unless you are lying. The kind of dicksucking bastard that would lie about such tramatizing events for sympathy of people he has never met before... I envy your abuility to be inhuman.

 

[Kingshadow6]

Hmm, I got 2.
First was when i was 8-9, I discovered Mausland and its few, but nonetheless pornographic games.

Second is a bit more detailed. I went to the world's crappiest private primary school (Grades 1-8), the teachers were bad (one kid who came from a public school left halfway through the year because he was learning more at the public school), anyway, apparently my older bro had pissed off some kid in grade 7, and had avoided him. This giant (to my first grade self) kid (looked about 5'6", 120lbs) came after me, cornered me in a bathroom, picked me up and almost ripped my right arm off. He dislocated my shoulder and broke the bone in two places. If one of my friends hadn't seen me get cornered and told a teacher, I probably would have gotten a lot more hurt. Mind you, up till this point, i had learned that all humans were good (Thanks catholic upbringing!), and to have an inherit trust in someone so that they can redeem themselves. That was the the day my atheistic, pessimistic, distrustful, lonesome life really began. The kid got expelled for that.

When I was a kid, I stayed in a boarding house at my school. One night I found a dead rat in my closet, so I grabbed a paper towel, picked up the rats body and start walking downstairs to throw the rat out. As I was walking I felt this itchy-ness all over my forearm, looked down, and saw that the rat's body had bursted and hundreds of maggots are crawling up my arm.

I've had a phobia for maggots ever since.

I had a centipede/millepede thing run up my arm and into my shirt when i was 7. I'm now afraid of ALL bugs.

Spoiler

It was grey not red

 

[ae86gamer]

I saw a dead body when I was ten or eleven. That's about it.

 

[RN7]

I crushed a baby goldfish When I was 2, snapped a baby turtle's neck when I was 5, watched 2 baby birds die on my front lawn when I was six and inadvertantly get my brother's head stuck in a crib when i was 8.

These were all accidents. You can't prove anything.

Oh yeah, there was also the time I saw a cat being raped and dogs having an orgy...but those are tales for another time, friends.

I had a pet rabbit get killed by maggots eating at him. As for other bugs, I once sat on a log that was a home to some billion ants... I had to strip in front of 20 people because I had ants in my underwear. I wish I was joking.

To this day, I am somehow afraid of neither ants nor maggots...

I later found out that they lay their eggs inside the tarantula so that when the larva are born they eat their way out of the tarantula. They may be harmless to humans, but I am still freaked out by the image of it.

I was in a plane crash. I win.

Would you be able to give a bit more detail please? I am very intrigued.

Oh yeah, that's right. Wiki'd it for the hell of it; apparently, the tarantula is paralyzed but kept alive by the parent, and the larva feeds off the tarantula (which is still alive) until it finally kills the tarantula when it gets big enough (read: when it's eaten so much of the tarantula it has to start eating vital organs).

Yeah. It's not hard to see where the writers for Aliens got their material.

They're apparently reputed for having a painful-as-hell sting, but they aren't aggressive in my experience.

They also apparently get drunk. Quote from wikipedia: "The consumption of fermented fruit sometimes intoxicates them to the point that flight becomes difficult."

Hmm. Wikipedia is missing a bit on their distribution; I found one in Colorado, USA, more than 10 years ago.

I am suprised there is no walking in parents bedroom and catching them having sex stories.
