Today, a friend and I were walking around a festival when out of nowhere a giant bug hit me in the face. I went into instant ninja mode, screaming and flailing. When I stopped, I realized it was just a leaf and everyone was staring at me. FML

Quick tutorial. Ninjas do: Swiftly chop bugs before they can hit face Ninjas don't: Scream and flail

Just tell them you were practicing your mosh

25- Phobia or not, it was an overreaction. The very essence of a phobia is to have an irrational fear of something in particular. Irrational fear leads to overreactions. OP overreacted.

Instant ninja mode...screaming? Mate you clearly don't know what ninjas do

What kind of festival? You probably went into "ninja" mode from all the hallucinogenics you took. At least you showed that leaf.

FYI ninjas don't scream or flail... YDI for sure.

Dude/dudette, are you scared of bugs or just things that fly in general? I got a friend who is totally scared of anything that flies, even flying leaves

I'd like to meet a ninja who's go-to tactic was screaming and flailing.

Screaming and flailing? I'm not sure you know what a ninja is.

#43, I'd generally say it's an overreaction to flip shit when a leaf flies into your face.

Let's see who gets this: was it the most important leaf in human history?

I wonder if OP is named Clara. That would make my day. XD

It's at least good to know I'm not the only Whovian on this site...
