I hate earwigs too :( One time I cut open a delicious peach and a bunch crawled out and I couldn't eat peaches for a year. :(

My hatred of cockroaches is based on them randomly climbing on me as a child. I get it >_

I feel you man. Nothing sends me into full eek-a-mouseism like earwigs. Once, one ran over my foot while I was in the bathroom and I screamed like Janet Leigh.

My mailbox post was infested with those earwigs. I did not realize it until my mail started coming with earwigs with it. I had to pour dishwater to flush out the earwigs and drown them at the same time.

An earwig dropped from the ceiling into my armpit and bit me while I was sleeping one night. Woke me up and kindled a grudge. Also, I had an intense dream about coyote last night in which he ate god? Also it turned out Annie had been murdered by her dad before the story began. ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ

Then you should never, EVER, under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES do a search for an old US television episode hosted by Rod Serling called "The Caterpillar".

Yeeaaah, I'm with you, earwigs can go eff themselves.

I dunno. Seems pretty rational to me.

I can wholeheartedly relate, more so with fire ants and anthills (plural).

Earwigs are TERRIFYING! I used to live in a ground-level apartment with a patio door to the outside - no one had lived there in a while and when I opened the door for the first time, a whole nest of earwigs spilled out from the crack along the wall. I grew a little more used to them, since the battle to exterminate them lasted most of the summer, but they are still so creepy...

'Gahhhhhhhhh' was my reaction as well.

I intensely dislike earwigs as well, although I have no problem at all with most other insects or arachnids. I had a large number swarm out of a head of lettuce I picked from our garden as a young child, which freaked me out.

I had a similar experience as a kid right after watching Star Trek Wrath of Khan... nightmare fuel.
