Cockroaches...
Why are so many people afraid of them? I mean, really, you're talking about a bug that's about an inch or two long (assuming you don't live in the tropical areas where they'll grow larger) and these people are 5 - 6 feet tall. I work with a guy who screams and runs down the hall if he sees a cockroach.

What is it with people and their bug-o-phobia?

1. the problem is that they are so small...
It's the fear that they can be anywhere and creep up on you at any time is what gets me. The whole thing about swallowing spiders when you sleep also freaks me out

2. It's not fear I feel toward them, but disgust and revulsion
They are gross.
