Oh. Oh yuck. YUCK!
I just rolled my giant recycle bin to the curb and my ear got buzzed by a June bug and it's still creeping me out.

YUCK! and shudder.

8. Oh yes I am.
Seriously, last year I walked out my patio door and one flew at me and bounced off my neck. I ran halfway up my deck steps and stood there freaking out for a good minute.

My friend, who was a step behind me, was inside the patio door practically wetting herself over it. What a bitch :rofl:

It's the sound. I can't get the sound out of my head. It's so gross.

10. oh noes....
:P its the sound, the sound, its sooooooooooooo GROSS.....

they are annoying little things, what I hate is that they just fly into things, or people, or ME!

I've never thought about the noise, but you're right, they do buzzzzzzz

and they hit you, and land on the floor, then take off, then hit something else, the smack, and then the buzz, or the buzz and then the smack, then buzzz, smack, buzzzz, smack....


that's what I hate about them... but not afraid :scared: just hate them :grr:


:hug:


cheer up, it's not even June yet :yoiks:

:rofl:

18. I hate bugs that fly into my ears or nose or eyes! The nerve!
Every time when I'm driving and a bug gets smashed on my windshield, I used to feel badly for the poor bug, until one day I realized that that little bugger was aiming RIGHT for my face!! and my windshield intervened.

I don't feel badly for them any more.
