Today, my daughter, who can pick up spiders and even snakes without flinching, screamed at the top of her lungs because she saw a mouse. Um, what? FML

Today, I was babysitting a six year old girl, when I saw a huge spider on the wall. I screamed and told her to stay back. Instead, she walked up to the spider, squished it, and told me to stop being such a baby. FML

Today, I ran into my infant daughter's room because I thought I heard her crying, and found she was still sound asleep in her crib. The screams were coming from the mouse our cat was using to paint her bedroom walls. FML

Panic in the sheets

Today, I woke up to my disabled mother screaming for me. Fearing the worst, I hopped out of bed only to find that she was yelling because her cat had brought a field mouse inside as a gift. The problem? It was still alive. I had to get it from him and throw it outside. FML

Today, I was reaching into the floor vent in my toddler's room to retrieve some toys she'd dropped. What I found instead was a clump of large dead spiders. FML

Today, I had mice in the house and had to kill them with mousetraps. I pulled a trap out with a dead mouse and my four year-old son saw. Mice are his favorite animals, and now he won’t speak to me. FML

Today, my daughter was playing outside. I was watching her from the window, and I saw her pick up a dead bird. I ran outside to grab her. As I picked her up and started scolding her, she tried to scratch my face. In the attempt, her hand went straight into my mouth. FML

Today, I flipped out when I saw a centipede. I screamed, very loudly and in a very high voice. My girlfriend came into the room, stomped on it, picked it up and threw it in the trashcan. I apologized to her for the scene and all she said was, "I'm used to it." FML

Today, my daughter learned a new song. This would be great, except for the lisp her teacher has. I now have a child screaming about the "itchy bitchy spider" at the top of her lungs. FML

Today, as I was using my mom's computer, a spider crawled onto the screen. So as per my usual reaction to seeing a spider, I smashed it as fast as I could. I missed the spider, but now I have to buy my mom a new monitor. FML

Duh, it has the wrong number of legs. Eight legs and zero are perfect numbers and four is incorrect, and therefore, scary! How do you idiots without so-called "OCD" make sense of the world?

I'm not afraid of anything on solid land, but show me fish, sea creatures anything that has no legs and I am out. Irrational maybe, but why do you have to eat them, or keep at home as pets.

Yeah! And what about the irrational non-fear of mosquitoes? People hate mosquitoes, but I've never heard of anyone who fears them. We should! Those sons-of-bitches can **** you up more than every other species on Earth combined. Malaria, Zika, West Nile, etc.

LOL My daughters are just the opposite no problem picking up little furry creatures but both scream when they see snakes or spiders or bugs in general 🤦‍♂️

I feel like that is the more common circumstance.

Yep, that’s how phobias work. While at work, I’m the resident spider catcher. But the time I saw a mouse, I screamed so loud the entire department heard.
