My wife hates crickets. She used to like them as a kid, until she got a magnifying glass and saw one up close, with it's big jaws etc etc.
And somehow now she has a weird magnetism for them, in my whole life I've never had a cricket jump on me, yet twice when I've been there (And others when I've not I'm assured) it's happened to her. She literally does the women/mouse thing and jumps into the air in my general direction, like I'm going to catch her or something. Cracks me up.
My phobias none, unless you count being around the company of negative people.Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith
Any forum is a collection of assorted weirdos, cranks and pervs - Board Game Geek
That will be a simply fab time to catch up for a beer. - Tay

You're not a royalist then...?Originally posted by threadedNot so much a phobia, but I avoid women wearing purple. There's something about women that wear purple that I find it best to give them a wide berth.Comment

I was in a mate's garden having a coffee - near Johannesburg - and this amazing little preying mantis jumped onto my hand. Bright green with vivid markings. It turned it's head to look around like a tiny robot, then jumped onto the ground with a hop. With it's very next hop it landed squarely into my coffee cup, and died.
That same night we were on the veranda - next to a lamp. Heard a sound like a tiny helicopter getting louder - it was a bloody great beetle and it smacked me in the face.
Now, either the entire insect world hates me, or the animal armies have begun their attack.Comment
