    My house is full of these lil’ guys. They’re chill, but they don’t like it when I try to pet them.

        The sandals? My feet can’t stand those, so no sandal I get will have them. Though I don’t wear socks with sandals either. I don’t have the common foot shape, which also makes climbing shoes a pain too, but I need those for bouldering. Also called Morton’s toe or Greek foot. Google does say it’s common for my foot shape to have issues with sandal toe thongs.

      As a centipede phobiaist (I looked up the name of the phobia but it is showed me a fucking picture so I had to back out fast) I agree.

        Many years ago I was out in the woods camping with friends. One night we got woken up by terrified screams from the other tent. We threw ourselves out to see wtf was happening. Turns out there was a big ass centipede in the tent with the guys, and they were just tumbling over each other like panicking clothes in washing machine, trying to smack the centipede with whatever they could get their hands on. It was funny to watch the tent rock back and forth with screams coming from the inside.

        Some years before that, I was out at sea, snorkeling with a friend. I saw a gorgeous, huge, sea urchin shell at the bottom, so I dived down to grab it. A fucking centipede launched itself out of the sea urchin shell and swam past my head and up to the surface. That day I learned some centipedes live in the sea. That was not funny. That was absolutely terrifying. I did scream like a little bitch.
