This is going to be one of those really stupid posts that you’re probably going to laugh at me for, but it actually scared me. I’m a little bit of a Hypochondriac. Not majorly, but just enough for other people to think I’m slightly stupid.
I was biking into work this morning and speeding along the main road into town when a bug flew right into my mouth. It wasn’t a small bug either, I actually choked on it so bad I nearly fell off my bike. Suddenly the fact that I was out of breath was a “symptom” of the poison the bug uses to defend itself, and although I’m not aware of there being any poisonous bugs in the UK I still managed to convince myself that I had possibly swallowed an undiscovered species.
I was late for work, and Sally was not impressed by my excuse, neither was Dan, my manager. But, when I told them I ate the worlds biggest bug and I was a little scared for my health it seemed to change the mood. Suddenly I wasn’t the guy who was late for work for the third time in a month, I was the idiot who ate a bug and thought he’d die from it lol
I think I’ll have to remember that for the future – when late for work, make yourself look so stupid they can’t help but laugh at you.
Oh, and the bug didn’t kill me, obviously.
