User blog comment:Holly Bailey/Thing I'm Afraid Of/@comment-24234841-20170220182743

I never really understood the fear of spiders. I mean, sure, the big hairy ones make me uncomfortable, but just common house spiders feel like ants with extra legs. Just hit it with something (or if you don't want to deal with a bug carcass, put it on a piece of paper and set it outside).

Now, bees. Those motherfuckers are terrifying.

Ever since I was a little kid, I've had this visceral, gut-wrenching fear of getting stung by a bee. Even the fat honey-making ones. Anytime that I'm outside during the summer and see one of those little bitches I go into immediate fight or flight mode. Usually flight. Bees pretty much ruin any outdoor event for me.

One time a honeybee got into my 3rd grade classroom and I cried, shouting at the teacher to get it out of there.

So yeah, fuck bees.
