I am sitting outside undercover enjoying the rain and messing about on mn. Suddenly, it rains really hard... I'm still messing about on mn. Then I feel a wetness on my hairline and wipe it away. Two minutes later, when it's not raining anymore, it feels really cold and wet...
I wipe it away and it's a fecking slug. I love nature but that slug was pushing it! I feel violated!

Reminds me of the time I put a jumper on to find a big hairy spider looking at me, perched comfortably on my chest...

Yesterday I found a really large bug under my pillow. My house is covered in spiders and my cat keeps bringing mice in who like to hide under the fidge.

What are your worst stories about nature?

A slug in your hairline Shock that's fucking horrible!!

I was half asleep in bed once about 12 years old when I felt something in my hair , I put my hand back and crunched an enormous spider in my palm - worst thing ever as it then ran down my face and over my duvet never to be seen again - I spent the rest of the night awake looking for it.

The day a seagull shat on my face!

The day I wandered about the park in open toe sandals only to tread in a dog turd.

Mine are all poo realted.......

EXCEPT there is currently the worlds largest spider currently under a mug on my rug. I am deciding his fate...... You could help me - should he stay or go!?!?

fivegomadindorset · 12/09/2012 21:23

Sorry, can't stop laughing.

My sister boiled a slug in her kettle once.

BigHairyFlowers · 12/09/2012 21:26

A slug hug? Shock

My worst is the time I felt a tickle, looked over my shoulder and saw an enormous great spider monster sitting on my shoulder grinning at me.

BigHairyFlowers · 12/09/2012 21:27

Too many shoulders in that post, sorry! Clearly still traumatised

I went for a romantic picnic once and managed to place my hand in dog shit as I sat down. I had to drive all the way home one handed to wash it!

I used to live in South-east Asia as a teenager. I always check my shoes for visitors, ever since the time I put my bare foot into a shoe in which a dying cockroach was kicking out his last wriggles. There was a dead one in my dressing gown sleeve once, too.

Neither of those experiences was as bad as a sluggy forehead, though. Grin

Do any of you remember that thread where someone literally twatted a spider? The OP was using loo roll and was about to flush it when she noticed there was a squashed spider on it, where she'd wiped, it was brilliant.

JeuxDEnfants · 12/09/2012 21:31

A slug hug... I suddenly feel special and honoured :)

Slugs are gross at the best of times, but on your face.....eurgh!

As a child I frequently stayed o/n at my grandparents in their spare room. They were keen gardeners and frequently used the room to house cuttings, seedlings etc.

You know where I'm heading with this don't you......one night I turned over in my sleep and something horrible, wet and slimy stuck to my cheek and woke me up. Yep, a slug.

It still makes me shudder when I think of it now.

I took my dog to the park, along with a blanket and a good book.

Had a lovely time lying in the sun watching the pooch dash about enjoying herself.

Time to go home I called her over and she had a green smudge along her back. I figured it was the dusty green stuff you get on old branches and tried to rub it off....

IT WAS FECKING FOX SHIT!!!

Which, for the record, smells about a 1000 times worse than dog poo. And it was all over the dog AND my hand.

I had to drive home with all the windows open in the car and was still gagging because the smell was that vile and so strong.

My afternoon ended with me shampooing the dog FIVE times to get rid of the stench, whilst trying desperately not to vomit.

Have to say, it's not as and as my dad waking up with a viper in his bed and his dad shooting it :) (India)

How the hell did it get to my head, it didnt crawl surely?? Came with the rain? I haven't been sitting here that long unless it's a super slug :)

Was eating a pre-packed Co-op salad and noticed I was chewing on something slimey. Spat it out, that's right, a slug. Shock

Found half a fly in my soup once too.

ChocolateIsAFoodGroup · 12/09/2012 21:36

A friend of mine was out camping once and woke up at 4am with a FROG ON HER FACE!

I think this is a big part of why I've never been camping Grin

DoMeDon · 12/09/2012 21:37

Bobbly- that made me cry with laughter - can't beleive I missed it

DoMeDon · 12/09/2012 21:38

I did bite into some grapes t\other day and felt a tickling on my nose - a spider had crawled into my nostril - I gagged and felt itchy in my ear

fluffyraggies · 12/09/2012 21:38

My best mate at school was watching her mum baking once, and spied a stray currant on the work top which she popped in her mouth.

You guessed it! The currant opened it's 8 long legs on her tongue Shock Aaarrgghh!

expectmiracles · 12/09/2012 21:38

when my dc was a baby we lived in a hot country. I used to breast feed and always had way too much milk which leaked during the night. The sweetness of my breast milk attracted hundreds of tiny ants into our bed , woke up crawling with them .....

JeuxDEnfants · 12/09/2012 21:41

That's nasty, expect... On holiday last week and went to check on ds who's 3... There's was an ant party in his bed. I was horrified... A close second to my slug/face encounter :). Changed his sheets and all good. He didn't notice...

My brother, friends and I were picking (brambles) blackberries as kids, stuffing our faces with them, I bit one in half, thought it was a bit rank, looked down and found half a maggoty thing in it! I'd eaten the other half! It still haunts me!

oohdaddypig · 12/09/2012 21:42

ohhhh coola - fox shit smells truly truly vile. the eau de fox lingers on the fur for days too but apparently tomato ketchup neutralises it. I cry when the dog rolls in it.

not trying to trump you, OP, but my (baby, crawling) daughter tried to eat a slug this morning. I scooped it, dead, out of her mouth. I yelped, in a truly girlie fashion, when I saw what it was. she cried, seemed to be enjoying chewing it boak

Dome tis bad luck to kill spiders. just nod and wave at him and ask him politely to leave. likes spiders more than most humans

sunflowersfollowthesun · 12/09/2012 21:42

I heard a pop when I was ironing a shirt and a wet circle appeared on the fabric. Lifting the shirt up I found a very large, very dead spider. No creases in it though. Grin

JeuxDEnfants · 12/09/2012 21:43

I've done that signing...gross...
