    I usually think “oh shit a spider” when I feel itchy. Then, once I felt itchy and thought “a spider i- meh, you always think that when you itch.” and then when I looked down, there was actually a spider crawling on my leg.

      This happened to me a few months ago, I felt a tickle on my toes while I was brushing my teeth and was like “nah it’s just a string from my pants or something” then I looked down a few seconds later and see a big ass wolf spider standing on my foot. I freaked out and launched myself in to the wall behind me and it ran up into the crack between the sink and the wall where I couldn’t reach it and just sat there… taunting me. Normally I have a catch and release policy for bugs but that one was pushing it.

      Similar experience but with an absolutely massive cockroach (“Palmetto bug” for those wondering the scale). I freaked the fuck out lol. I thought my arm was just itchy but it didn’t go away and I looked down and started flailing everywhere.

      Sometimes I have an itchy feeling and get paranoid that there is a bug on me. And there almost never is so usually I ignore it. But occasionally there actually is a bug on me so I’m not just imagining!
