Today, I was brushing my teeth when I looked up. There was a huge scorpion dangling on the air vent above my head. I was trapped in the bathroom for over an hour trying to build the courage to run out. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I saw a big, black spider on the floor of my bathroom. I promptly jumped up on the toilet seat, slipped off, and slammed my head against the wall. The best part? It was a tuft of my hair. FML
Today, as I put on my pajamas, a large spider ran down my leg. After freaking out, killing it, and recomposing myself, I went to the bathroom. As I sat down to go to the toilet, I looked up to see hundreds of baby spiders hanging over my head. FML
Today, I went through the nightmare of having to go to my doctor so he could remove a living spider from my nasal cavity. FML
Today, I found a big spider on my wall. I have arachnophobia, and I was trying to kill it with my shoe. I pulled back and hit myself in the face, causing me to fall backwards. The spider is still alive somewhere in my house. FML
Today, a spider crawled across my arm. After a quick dance in a fit of panic, I managed to scramble onto my bed. I thought I would stand up to see if I could spot the spider and maybe kill it. I was then promptly knocked unconscious by my ceiling fan. FML
Today, I was taking a shower when I noticed the huge spider above my head. Now, being the smart person I am, I sprayed the water up at it, causing it to fall. Right on my face. FML
Today, I was sitting under a rather large house plant in my dining room, minding my own business when a spider lowered itself right in front of my face. It startled me, causing me to gasp, which resulted in me inhaling the spider. I then spent 3 minutes choking on it. FML
Today, while showering at my boyfriend's house early this morning, I saw a huge black spider on the wall. I'm allergic to spiders, so in my disorientation I ran out of the shower screaming, slipped, sprained my wrist, and bruised my tailbone. Turns out the spider was a clump of hair. My hair. FML
Today, while taking a shower, a spider fell from the ceiling onto my foot. I took down my shower head to wash it down the drain, and in the process, got soap in my eye and rammed my head into the wall. FML
Today, I was washing my hands in the bathroom when I looked up and saw a spider on my cheek. Panicking, I slapped myself in the face as hard as I could to kill it. Turns out the spider was on the mirror. FML

It's not like if it was gonna yell "get over here!" and spear you back to him if you tried to make a run for it.

This is a stupid story... It doesn't make any sense. Who gets "trapped in a bathroom" because they couldn't run AWAY from the thing scaring them???

I am beyond terrified of scorpions! I know admitting this makes me seem ridiculous, but I would've peed a little!! @_@

If you had left it wouldn't have started shooting you or anything. You should have booked it and shut the door.

To those wondering, the air vent would not have been above OP directly, but blocking the path of escape, meaning that to run out would have meant going directly beneath it and risk it falling onto their head. FYL OP. The thought of that gives me shivers!!

Actually, I'm pretty sure it does in fact say that it was above her head. And whilst we can assume it was blocking her path somehow, you can't know that for certain. Plus I'm sure many people's instincts would be to run into a different room, regardless of where the scorpion really was - for most it's an instant reaction to a threat or fear, not a logical one.

I can empathize with this reaction... Were I OP, if it was dangling with a risk of falling, I'd be tempted to wait for it to fall to be more sure of my path of escape, or to be in a better position to hit it with something. So in that sense I understand OP's actions.

Huh, that's interesting...I thought humans evolved to have an instant 'fight or flight' reaction to threats but I guess some of us missed that and ended up with the deer-in-headlights 'stare at it till it attacks you' reaction...
