Even with exaggerated language, the idea that anyone could consider these the "absolute worst things in the world," confounds the shit out of me. These are minor annoyances at best with the exception of the bug....

Admittedly, I know a great many people who think House Centipedes are LITERALLY one of the worst possible things - that they would almost rather have deadly scorpions in their house than those harmless little things.

I never quite understood it.

My related WTF: (I may have mentioned this already, can't remember)

I have developed the ability to determine not only the cause (spider/house centipede/other bug/injury/broken item/other scary thing) but also the size/severity and urgency, solely by the sound of my wife's scream. I can, quite seriously, accurately predict the size of a house centipede three rooms away simple by the pitch of her yell.

This boggles my mind considering it doesn't happen more than once a week.

Yeah... as worst bugs go, I'd probably nominate either the bed bug E: Actually, there's several species that reproduce in the same way ("traumatic insemination", which is more or less exactly what it says on the tin), which pretty much annihilates the possibility of a kind and loving (at least by any human conceptualization of the term) creator deity.

... or the various wasp species, both sets strictly because of their reproductive methods. G'damn horrible no matter how you cut it, from a human perspective.

what the hell is that insect, anyway?

A house centipede. They're horrible things. And by that, I mean they eat all the other bugs you don't like. Even bedbugs! Man, maybe we should have more of these guys around. I'm always fine with another bedbug predator.

Apparantly, if you are a big dick thats annoying to me, you are popular in my class.

So i have this person that used to be a friend, but now somehow is incredibly hostile to me.
They used to bash him a bit, but now he is hostile to me, everybody seems to be friends with him.
Seriously, WTF?

(also one of the reasons my social life is pretty much my tf2 community, this community and a single RL friend that plays tf2)

And in a trope aversion, Australia apparently has its own version of this thing, which is actually smaller and less dangerous.

well, I had the exact same thing happen to me when I was 7, so I know how you feel.

I'm somehow part of the cool crowd while only having three rather uncool friends...

Probably because of the snippy comebacks making anyone who tried to ostricize me suddenly a hell of a lot less cool.

My typical response to "You're gay" remarks is saying, "Only if you want me to be!"

I've yet to hear a good retort to that.
