MAGGOTS! MAGGOTS!

went to take the garbage out and the lid was COVERED with them

why are they so horrifying?

Was going to post an image for lols. But you're right -- maggots are horrifying, and the first Google Images page with maggot pictures is . . . especially horrifying. 'Nuff said.

when I was a kid, I walked into our bathroom one morning and there were MAGGOTS ALL OVER THE FLOOR. something had died in the ceiling right by the exhaust fan and the maggots had fallen down through the fan. GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSS. YUK YUK YUK.

BRAIN MAGGOTS: http://www.freewebs.com/hurlgurl/brain%20maggots.jpg

yeah tht's the first hit on google for maggots

did not need to see tht; gross

I used to live with a junkie couple and they shared one cabinet in the kitchen and one day the lady junkie lets out a blood curdling scream from the kitchen because her cabinet was filled with maggots. She babbled some traumatic tale of having once had to deal with maggots in a very significant and damaging way, so I cleaned them up for her, but damn, I was not happy about it.

I have live a lifestyle conducive to maggot avoidance ever since.

That has included never again living with junkies.

I'm not easily grossed out but maggots get me every time. I refuse to look at the brain maggots because I'm pretty sure that I've seen it before and also that it was one of the worst things I've ever witnessed. Guh. I feel a little sick just thinking about these things.

they're just little bugs after all

I think it's less what they are and more what they signify - putrescence, rot, death, neglect. Of course, they also do some good (no pictures at that link but there is a vector drawing). Maybe maggots just need a rebranding campaign.

my boyfriend once had a traumatic maggot incident as a child of 8 years old, when he went to the garbage dump with his mother. while lifting a bag of trash overhead, the bottom ripped open, showering him with maggots all over his face & in his mouth.

although he ended up writing his college admissions essay about the incident, so i guess some good came of it.

i have an early memory of maggots festering on lobster remains in our trash. my brother poured gasoline on them and set them on fire. there was this weird hissing noise. ugh

Brothers are so gross.

They have to be, it's their job

COVER IT WITH GAS AND SET IT ON FI-YA!!

xpost Elmo, at least he's not fixated on re-enacting the incident, like the people who can't get off unless someone spanks them like their mama used to.

I just filled the bottom of our kitchen trash can with bleach. Nothing makes me involuntarily gag like these fuckers.

we had the fattest of these fuckers in our kitchen bin last week

Realized this trash day that the trash bin I've just been grabbing with my hand to drag down to the curb during the dark, early morning hours is just covered with them.

I think I have told this story elsewhere but my parents' house is in a semi-rural area and we used to have this ongoing problem where mice would somehow find their way into the ceiling crawlspace and die. One morning I got up to take a shower and there were maggots all over the bathroom floor - a mouse had died in the crawlspace and managed to position its rotting self directly over the bathroom exhaust fan.

SO gross.

That is pretty much my biggest fear. Suspiria in my bathroom.

yep

i don't recommend it
