My dad called us ‘rodents’ as kids – I have developed a phobia of such things ever since.
SO FUN STORY: my husband is massively terrified of any kind of creepy-crawly, in large part because he has eczema and doesn’t need any *more* sensation of his skin crawling. Usually this manifests in a deathly refusal to open any window, ever, for any reason, and a massive murder spree if any insects are seen (and shuddering in the corner if they become unseen).
Imagine my delight when he called me at six in the evening, from a city away, to inform me his living room had been invaded by an army of caterpillars. Apparently they were all over the living room (presumably they’d come inside to pupate, but apparently they’d come inside so they could CRAWL UP THE WALLS and DROP ON HIS FACE). So I got him out of the house and got him to go to the supermarket and buy a spray, so they would be dead, and he could deal with them.
FUN FACT: My husband has asthma…
…
look, I feel Joe’s pain, okay
Dead animals really freak me out, more than most things that are supposed to be freaky. I would have had to leave the house as well. Definitely change my route when I’m waking and see something on the ground.
