izzy's thread got me wondering about this. i'm not trying to make light of the story told in the other thread, but i thought it would be interesting to see any if there are any diverse dangers in our lives. my time in southern california has seemed pretty tame from an imminent animal-on-man bloodshed standpoint. oh sure, we get the occasional, but already very tired, cub-on-tampoline act but rarely is that some sort of comical death device [it'd probably still be cute if it was though]. locally we are in fact dealing with a significant deer-loitering problem. they just look at you suspiciously too...well, one time sibz and i kinda didn't help matters by playing the 'undercover cops' to the deer's 'timid pot dealer' act. our ants are about three pixels long and only need a second of the tool to be done with. if you see a spider while using the restroom, more than likely the worst possible outcome is it staring at you and causing you to feel self-conscious...not exactly a death-defying choice to step out of bed over here, you see. so, we have a fairly geographically diverse group here...kinda...what do you worry about when it comes to the wild?

I only worry about skunks (for fear of being sprayed, otherwise they don't exactly attack). I have mistaken them for cats on occasion, which could have disastrous outcomes.
And pigeons, because I'm quite certain they are out to piss off humans by flying into us from the sky, walking right in front of our feet at the last minute, or taking off in flight when they're very near us. Mostly it just results in momentary embarrasement from squealing or shielding your face with your arms.

MOSQUITOES i'm horribly allergic and they love me too much. Same. The empathy I'm feeling is overwhelming. This is why my two weeks in the Carribean was the worst in my life. if it's not a cat, penguin or wolf (hurhurhur) I dislike it.

butterflies are nice. they don't fly right up in your face. they just float around, all prettily coloured, lalala. MOTHS, HOWEVER, ARE EVIL.
i have nets on the outsides of my windows to stop bugs getting in and at night when i still have the curtains open and the lights on, the moths all stick to the nets and flap their minging powdery wings at me. URGH.

I've been bitten by dogs thrice as a young child, so nowadays if a dog growls at me and chases me across a field, I am unlikely to believe the guffawing owner when he says "don't worry, he won't hurt you"
And other people keep bothering me. Leave me alone, people.

I was going to reply to this with "fucking women" but then realised that Jonathan had beat me to the "hilarious non-pc humour"
..then I see you all talking about moths, my ex was obsessed with moths! She use to sketch them and know everything about them and *sob!* fucking women! She had a comic book alter-ego called Prof Moth as well, he was cool.
