Meetings scare me.......and being on time for them too! (inside joke, as I check my watch)
Um.......OK........I've said it before but I'll say it again......
If I were in a moving vehicle and going the speed of sound and a wasp or hornet was lurking and suddenly flew at me or landed on me..........I would jump from said vehicle, no hesitation!
In the warmer months at work, they leave the bay doors open and all kinds of flying creepies fly into my office! I have been known to run, screaming (squealing actually) from my room and right out the door! They've gotten so used to this behavior that the people I work with just turn and explain to the new employees just exactly what I am doing. Then some guy will go and find the culprit and come and get me when it's dead.
HEY! Don't laugh! I work with a girl who has an actual phobia for "little people". So much so that she won't go out Christmas shopping because, sometimes, "little people" play elf to certain store Santas and she says she ALWAYS seems to run into them around Christmas. I swear this to be true! For a while I had this idea that I would tease her and get on my knees and put my shoes in front of my knees and call her attention to me......but as she told me of her terror whenever she sees a midget or dwarf....and how she feels so horrible about how she reacts to them........I decided I better not tease her so. I know that terror......but with me it's wasps and hornets!
