That was the first thing she said to me when I stopped. “I’m not crazy.”
I don’t know if she was trying to tell me or convince herself. Her car was stopped in the lane. It was blocking the traffic exiting a busy parking lot. I stopped to see if I could help her, or at least unblock traffic so I wouldn’t have to deal with it when I tried to leave later.
“I’m not crazy, I promise.” She told me. I found out her car was mechanically fine. She stopped in traffic because there was a huge bug on her dashboard, and she is really afraid of bugs. She also told me. I tried my best to at least look like I was taking things as seriously as was.
So I looked for the bug, and once I found it scooped it it out of the car for her. She thanked me before driving off, but those words will stick with me.
“I am not crazy, I promise.” That should have been a clue, I swear.

When we were younger, my cousin Lisa had a giant plastic spider like that, and it creeped the hell out of me! I was really terrified of it.
In our house at the moment there has been a load of HUGE spiders about. I can only get close enough to them to upend a pint glass over them and then run away really fast.(they're bigger than the rim of the glass cos their legs often get caught, euuurgghhh!)
Then i leave them sitting there til my little brother comes to throw them outside for me.
I used to work with animals, and i found it strange that i could handle all sorts of creatures - vicious dogs, scratching cats, biting snakes, lizards, even cockroaches at one point. But i could never ever go near the tarantulas.
Yeuch!
