Today, at work, I screamed, used one of my employees as a human shield, dove for cover, and cried. Why? A bat flew into my store. Bats scare me shitless. FML

Already I predict a large number of comments written by pricks who apparently aren't afraid of anything and do not accept the idea of someone else having serious fears of anything.

This would be better if you worked at a Halloween store.

Oh God, FYL indeed. I'm severely chiroptophobic so I feel your pain. Our attic used to be infested with bats when we first moved in and I once got locked in my sisters room with one of them. I screamed myself into a frenzy and actually had a panic attack so bad I was apparently white as a sheet and hiccouphing. Another time I went down into the basement to get something and woke up a sleeping bat which flew right at my face resulting in another meltdown. Even looking at a picture of a bat brings me out in a cold sweat. Also, last summer I was riding through the countryside on my bike at dusk, when a bat flew right into the handlebars and hit me in the face. Needless to say I thought I was gonna die. So yes, FYL. If a bat flew in my workplace I would react the same, if not worse.

At least your a girl. I probably woulda screamed. But a human shield really?
