How to turn a 22 year old man into a whimp:

Anyone who knows me well enough KNOWS my one and only real weakness. My 'Achilles heel', if you will. It is not an uncommon one by any stretch, but it is enough to make my insides stew with unrest and make me shriek like a scared little girl.

Ladies and gentlemen, the one thing on this planet which would be sure to freak me out on any occasion is any eight-legged freak from the order of Araneae, the SPIDER.


These minions of Satan have haunted my imagination from my earliest days till now. Even today, I require the courage of my mum or dad(or housemates) to 'do away' with these things or I threaten to run away to someone else's house to sleep while they lurk about in my domicile. I will not go anywhere near even the smallest spider, for the obviously irrational fear that it will eat me alive. I promise you that if you force me close enough to them, you will see tears and LOTS of yelling and resistance.

What does it take to make a mouse out of your man? What do you fear enough to give you the heebie-jeebies just thinking about it?

  1. How funny is that:P Can imagine you fear spiders there down under, here they don't get any bigger than a centimeter. So I think you are entitled to you opinion, ( well who's not of course ) I'd probably fear the big hairy 8 legged creatures over there as well, as they could probably kill me and eat me too 8-)

  2. haha, I hear ya. Even my surliest friends quiver with fear when they spot one of these monstrosities, and I've heard atheists cite the dreaded camel spider as proof that there is no God.

    Snakes I can tolerate, but spiders?...NOOOOOOOO!
