Women, is it really necessary to scream when.... (page 2)

I love the fact that women scream over things I find trivial. I think it's instinctive, designed by evolution to bring out the natural protective nature of man. However, I hate it when women scream at me. Screaming for me is another matter

Sorry if I offended anyone. I wasn't trying to be stereotypical, it's just my experience with this issue. I've personally never seen a guy scream from being around an insect. I've seen some get a little nervous, but that's it.

But did you ever see the episode of The Osbornes in which Sharon and Kelly want Ozzie to get the cat down from on top of a tall hutch of some sort? He was calmly trying to coax the cat, while both Sharon and Kelly screamed and screamed...it was hilarious. Ozzie kept calmly saying to the gals, "please, don't scream."

Yeah, that was great! But I think Ozzy said something more like "quit fvvving screaming"

No you didn't offend really Nos...however I do get offended when my roommate can't kill his own spiders. Jesus how hard is it to pick up a shoe and crush?

carla,

You are exactly like me. hahaha Especially when you said this ...

Spiders who come into my house, however, get sucked up in the vaccum! Unless they are the little black & white striped jumping kind, those I just ignore.

Me, too!

I have a good bee story,,,

My friend M and I were going camping for a few days, with her 5 YO in tow. While driving to PEI, the little one (T) was sleeping in the back seat, we had the windows open, going about 120 klicks (that's about 70mph for the Yanks).

We heard a little voice from the back seat, say 'Mommy, there's a bee' ... so I turned around, and was horrified -- there was a hornet on the seat, right between her legs -- omg!

So, I said, "M, pull off the road. T, undo yr seat belt as soon as Mommy stops. Don't move." M slowed down and pulled off. I jumped out of the car, opened the rear door, reached in and lifted T out of the car. M took care of the hornet.

Voila! No screaming.

To tell the truth, I did scream once, when I pulled up my sweater sleeve, and there was a big spider on my forearm. < shivers >

Both my father and I are deathly afraid of spiders. But, we overcome it. You should see us when we are working on the plumbing, down in the dirt cellar! We both pretend we are not keeping an eye open for our little 8-legged friends ... hahaha *cringe*

I don't scream.

I should say I can't scream. I stand there as the blood drains from my face and I feel paralyzed. I can't run, screech, cry, cough, holler, or do much of anything except breathe at irregular intervals.

Depending on the severity of my dilemma, I have been known to pee my pants.

Do you guys know what earwigs are? I had a friend that put her shorts on after they were on the line, only to discover tons of them in her pants after she buttoned them!!! I would definitely scream then! carla

My worst 'experience' was getting stung on my tongue by a wasp that had crawled into a drink carton at work. Really quite owww.

Once you've had a wasp between your teeth (mmm... crunchy... ) you don'tforget it.

Thus last year in France, whilst sunning myself with a nice beer and took a chug with added wasp, my whole boy managed to projectile spit and jump five yards sideways without my brain having much to do with it, complete with horrfied 'argh' noises and frantic arm waving. Well macho.

It was dead, and as it was 2" long I am really happy it was dead.

Women, is it really necessary to scream when....
