I was totally sober when I did it... I was up late w/a sick child and went out for a smoke... I would much rather run into a slug then what I did today... find my "close call" thread... THAT will make you shudder!

I HATE slugs! To me, they are worse than snakes, spiders, and anything else!

Stepping on a slug has to be one of the most disgusting things in the world. My dad gets them really bad in his front yard, and I've finally learned not to go out barefooted

I was hiking in a state park on the coast of Washington & came across a group of Banana slugs -thought I was seeing things-made the trail a bit slimy-

I couldn't get the "feeling" out of my head for like a week.. everytime I thought about it I got grossed out
I was terrified of those things as a kid. We used to live in an apartment and they would get into our livingroom. They are sooo nasty!! I always dumped a lot of salt of them. I wanted to make sure they died fast.
