If that thing had bitten me, it could've been a bloody redback and I'd be in ER right now. Can't take a shower without risking life or limb.

Speaking of which, this happened about two years ago:

Me: *steps out of shower*

Five-inch-long centipede: Hi there!

I've had similar things happen with dead birds/mice/rabbits my cat used to bring. She'd crawl though the walls of the house (because we had plumbing problems that necessitated chopping holes in the walls) and visiting me in the shower. When I stopped freaking out because "OMG cat wtf are u doin", she started bringing war throphies and setting them on the wet tile floor. I really liked that cat after the time I set my foot squarely on a half-dead baby rabbit, slipped on its blood, and gave myself a helluva goose egg on the back of my head.

There was that one time I woke up laying on top of the covers to see a spider gliding from ceiling directly onto my crotch.

That was fun.

I'm a very odd person on this. I find spiders and scorpions cute (though I respect the danger some pose). The only animal I really fear is... worms. That's right, worms.

Oh Christ, that also happened to me a long time ago. And it was crawling on my body, in the shower...

The only critter I can't stand to be around is maggots.  Yep, the humble fly larva.  Adults are fine, but their young'uns....  EEEEEEEEeeeeeeehhhhshhhhhhhhhhhhh *wipes invisible crawlies off of self*.

EDIT: You know some of them can jump?  That was fun for me to learn that.

I tend not to mind critters that I know have legitimate medical uses like maggots and leeches.  I won't go out of my way to be near one, but they don't trigger my Dalek sensibilities.  That would be roaches.  EXTERMINATE ALL ROACHES!

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

I understand maggots have their uses and reasons for being that are very important and valid... but if any doctor wanted to put any on (or in) me, they'd better damn well drug me into a stupor.

There are better alternatives now when it comes to removing dead tissue from a living person... Though some do still prefer the bug option.

Maggot therapy was mostly abandoned after the discovery of penicillin and other antibiotics, although it is making a comeback. Some places have successfully used it on MRSA patients, although the current FDA approved uses are for it are necrotic ulcers (neuropathic, pressure, etc), and other non-healing wounds.

The American stores are once against trying to import Black Friday into Canada. We already have boxing day, dickheads, we don't need Black Friday.

What the fuck? Thanksgiving is so obnoxiously American it's not even funny anymore. Trying to import it to Canada is just… Ugh, my brain hurts.

And now for a gripe of my own: guess who has to work from 8:45 to 4:15 tomorrow, therefore missing the MLP season four premiere? That's right, me!
