Bug Off!

On the way to work this morning I am doing the usual:

Chap Stick in mirror - Check

Play with hair - Check

Z93 – Check (i.e. Papa Roach - Forever blasting with head bobbing to the beat flashing people the “rock on” horns when they stare at me)

That is when I felt it….something was tickling my arm. I figured since I was playing with my hair that one had come loose, I look down and to my terror it was not a hair. It was the biggest black and red bug I have ever seen. I suddenly freak the fuck out swerving wildly as I try to get it off me and out of the car. I flick it with my finger only to discover that it flies. In my girly bug phobia mind it might as well been the size of a pterodactyl ready to bite my face off, my reaction would have been similar. I pull off the side of the road and get out of the car, the bug had won round one. It was in the car out of the cold and I was standing outside freezing. Not two minutes later this man stops and asks if there is something wrong with my car. I managed to whimper a "yes, there is something wrong with it...there is a huge bug in there and I am not getting in till it flies out. "

This man proceeded to climb all over my car, found the bug, killed it and removed it. I thanked him for being so brave and then I got back in the car, called my boss to let him know I was on the way, and why i was running a little late...i think he finds me amusing.
