What is so scary about bugs?

Question

I think its SO funny when girls freak out over a tiny bug. Today in one of my classes, a bunch of 16 year old girls started screaming and jumped up onto their chairs because of a freakin cockroach. Sure there nasty, but they can't hurt you. So i felt bad, but to shut them up, I squished it. Then they freaked out because there was a DEAD bug.

Im a girl, and love bugs. There so cool.

Whats so scary about bugs? Are you scared of them? What makes them gross?

Answer 1

What's so scary about sharks?

FACT: Soda pop machines kill more people each year than sharks (but you don't see people running and screaming when they see a vending machine)

Answer 2

I think the reason people get so scared of bugs is because the idea of them crawling on you, biting you, stinging you, squirting something on you, pinching you, etc. is terifying to most people, even if it is small. One night a while back I was laying in bed, about to go to sleep when I felt something on my leg, when I pulled of the covers, it was one of those creepy little furry jumping spiders. I admit I jumped up and went crazy swinging my arms around and jumping before going upstairs and sleeping. That's pretty funny though. I think what makes them gross is the fact they crawl around on the floor and stuff all day, and they might have been buzzing around a pile of dog crap earlier. It's really wierd cause I had a dream that giant spiders were in my back yard and they were all attacking me, lol.

Answer 3

I don't freak out like screaming over a harmless bug, I just have my mom or dad or somebody kill it because it's gross and I don't want it crawling on me. And if it's a spider, well I've had a terrible spider bite and I didn't enjoy that at all, so that's made me afraid of spiders because I have no idea if it's bad or not.

Answer 4

Hmmm...well, yes, I am scared of bugs. But I am not scared to the extent to start screaming. I know how to remain clam. However, I walk away from them, trying to avoid them. I am not sure what makes them so gross. It just might be that they are different creatures and may feel disgusting as well. It's just a natural instinct people are born with and are just used to it, so do not change.

Answer 5

You know when i was younger i wasnt scared of anything! i mean i use to hold snakes, and bugs.. nothing mattered. But now since im grown and ever since i had my son, Its like everything bothers me!i am scared to death of a palmetto bug! oh a huge cock roach that flies, and i don't care for spiders mainly because they will bite you! If it was just a roach you can step on them and its all good! But something that jumps or flies.. id have to say ill be there with the broom jumping! lol

Answer 6

your right there is nothing scary about bugs and they should realy freak out over 1 bug, and if you love bugs don't feel bad about killing it because when you squish a cockroach they spread eggs and more are born later so squishing 1 cockroack is realy making more

Answer 7

Nothing some girls just are just that way..The only bug that i don't like are spiders there fine out side but not in my home. O and I don't like those bugs that are eating my tomato's.But no bugs are just bugs

Answer 8

the only insect im scared of are spiders.

i use to watch this show when iw as a kid and they showed this episode where a spider was on a women's arm. The person is like

"One wrong move and the spider and kill you"

from that day on i was so scared of spiders that whenever i saw one, i would run away from it as fast as i can. Even today after reading and learning about spiders, they still freak me out... and i'm a dude lol.



I wouldn't mind if a girl liked insects but it would be nice if my girl was scared of insects and she would hide behind my back asking me to kill it, :P

Answer 9

Most people are afraid of them because:



1) They fear getting bitten



2) It is a known fact that some bugs transfer diseases, but not as much as people think they do



3) Some really paranoid people think that they will crawl inside them and lay eggs..



Yes, it makes me laugh too
