From the age of 13-16 I had a problem in my room where bees will come in and hang out in my room. We could never find the hole or wherever they were crawling from so we just killed them when they came in. I never got stung but I just hate hearing that buzzing noise in my blinds and having to call my parents every time.

Also I woke up one time with my mom telling me not to move, I asked her why and she said a bee was on my stomach. I jumped out of bed and ran instead of staying still, lol.

Moral of the story, bees in your room sucks.

Bees are not dangerous when they are on their own or feeding. I have cashew trees on my backyard and the fruit on the ground are filled with bees. You can pick up a cashew with 5 or more bees on it and they won't attack you (they're probably not an aggressive species though).
 
I was on the computer late at night, and in the corner of my eye I notice a massive cockroach sitting next to my keyboard. I flipped out and it took me and my sister an hour and a half to find it and kill it with a leaking roach killer spray. We ended up getting roach spray all over the kitchen floor.

Not a fun night. Haven't seen an (alive) cockroach in my house since then, at least.

I hate bugs :(
 
I had a swarm of flies and other insects hanging out and multiplying in the corner of my bedroom ceiling one summer.
Nothing happened but having those things fly around when I'm trying to sleep sucks. The amount of blood I ended up smearing across the wall was pretty gnarly though.
 
Had a cat bite and scratch me something fierce when I was like 5 or 6. Little devil pulled the old "I'm rolling over, rub me on belly. HAHA Fuck You! I'm gonna bite you when you do!"

I also had a rooster chase me when I visited a farm once. Fucker would not leave me alone for what felt like a good 20 minutes. Every time I got away and then tried going somewhere he popped out again and recommenced the chase.
 
Attacked by a rottweiler.

It was a guard dog and its owner didn't have it on a leash or anything, was letting it out or some shit. I was walking past and it bolted past its owner straight for me. I didn't notice until I heard really loud barking from the side and the next thing I know I'm on the ground with something chomping on my arm.

That was unpleasant.

True, but its one of those "don't want to take any chances," cases for me. The bees were mostly just in my screen door covered in blinds, but I didn't want to take any chance of them making a nest because many got in. Their's nothing worse then a bee's nest in your room opposed to one, also thee constant buzzing could get annoying.

I don't blame it on the bees though. I mostly blame it on my dad for always growing flowers on my balcony. I know that's the reason their drawn up to my room in the first place.
 
These kids let their dog out of the yard and it chased me on my bike and bit my leg and they laughed at me.

A bird bit me when I was 3/4
 
when i was a kid I put my finger in a friend's hamster cage and it stuck its two long front teeth under my nail all the way to the bottom. To this day i wince when i think about it. It was a stupid thing to do i know.
 
when I was 11, at my uncle's farm for the holidays I kept poking his sleepy 13 years old german sheperd until he suddenly chomped my right arm. My cubital vein was out in the air; rushed to the hospital and 19 stitches. i still have the scar


still at my uncle's, I got chased by a gigantic pig. Locked the door behind me and he actually tried to demolish it


funny place, my uncle's



then;
found a massive spider crawling on my pillow while in Scotland

got hit by a goat

a mouse once bit my finger

my dog dry humped me good
 
I once put a baseball cap on my head and it had a Frog in it, when I was a kid.

As a teenager a frog once climb the bathroom Window and jumped onside while I was taking a shit.

My crazy grandmother once tried to do "brujeria" at my house and I found a living Crab in my bedroom.

A Dog bit me while I was riding my bicycle. He made me fell of the bike and the owners watched and cheered.

I had to kill a duck once and I wasn't strong enough to kill him in a clean hit, so I made him suffer a lot.

I was watching an Alan Wake playthrough on YouTube at 3:00-4:00 AM and cockroach flew into my face.

I had multiple cockroach fly and walk directly into my face, neck and back.

I once was sleeping naked and a cockroach was walking from my ass to neck and it wake me up, I was so disgusted and pissed that I blindingly tried to kill it at all cost, the roach flew into the ceiling and I went on top of the fridge to kill it, I swing at it and I fall. The worse was watching it walk away while I was on the floor crying with pain. I walked limp for a month after the Incident.

I also once woke up and a centipede was eating my ankle hair when I was a kid, it didn't grew up until I was like 22.
 
My friend thought it would be funny to send his dog to attack me when I was younger. I haven't talked to him since.
 
Birds hate me. I've been attacked repeatedly over the years just walking around, minding my own business. Most of my friends are in awe that I've been attacked even once, doesn't seem to be an experience many people share. I've even watched birds crash into nearby objects while swooping near me.

When I was a kid, I was a mosquito magnet. Then I grew up and my diet changed a bunch(for the better), now I never worry about bug bites.

On the other end, cats LOVE me. Even the most anti-social or aggressive cats warm up to me very quickly. Growing up, my room was the de facto cat hangout for the 14 or so years I was there. Last time I went to visit my old roommates, one of the two cats I used to live with wouldn't leave my lap the whole time I was there.
 
I remember that a tiger jumped towards me when I was on the zoo. I was very close to the cage and it probably got really agree. Very frightening... For a moment I thought that it would break the cage...
 
Sandy. A big, white shaggy dog that terrorized 7-year old me on a beach in Denmark. The owner let him run free, and he always ran straight for me and knocked me down. He was relentless.

We went back to the same beach the next year. I made a sandcastle or something with my younger brother when BAM my head was in the sand. Sandy was back, and he knew damned well who I was. I remember when we drove home after being there for two weeks. As we drove away, Sandy came out of nowhere and chased our car. That dog was like a homing missile.

Edit: Also, seagulls. All of them. They live on the roof of my building in the summer, and when the eggs hatch the grown-ups go batshit insane. Just going the 30 meters from my garage to the door is like being in a Hitchcock movie. One seagull that used to sit on another building 50 meters away from me used to fly screeching towards me every time I went near my windows. I was INSIDE, but that mattered little. I loved to fuck with her by opening and closing the blinds on my windows... she got pissed off by the mere suggestion of movement in my apartment, and came flying with a hellish screech every single time.
 
I was petting a seemingly friendly feral cat. It rolled on it's back and my hand was too close to it's belly. It bit and scratched the shit out of my hand, which got infected. I had to get antibiotics and rabies shots, which turned out to be an incredibly painful ordeal involving about 6 huge intramuscular injections. Petting kitties can be dangerous!
 
Our 3 year old cat Oscar got his paw stuck in a cabinet door in our dining room and was howling and totally panicking. I made the mistake of reaching in to try get his paw loose and he latched onto my wrist and hand with his other 3 limbs and teeth. Tore my hand and wrist completely up.
He was playing with one those donut shaped toys with a little plastic ball inside of it on the floor in front of the cabinet and was flailing about and managed to get his paw stuck between the cabinet door and the door frame.
A few hours later he was sleeping on my lap while we watched the Redskins pre-season game like nothing happened. I had to get a tetanus shot.
 
Was practically a magnet for dog attacks. At 7 was bitten in the head by a German Shepherd. Had to have stitches and still have a 5-inch scar where my hair parts because it doesn't grow. Bitten on the waist by a doberman, but thankfully no marks. Then bitten by a tiny, seemingly harmless mutt that left gigantic puncture wounds in my right calf. As you could imagine, I was terrified of dogs for the longest time. Even now, I tense up whenever I see one one the street.

I was 4 and my neighbors Collie bit me in the face next to my mouth because I had startled her. My fault really, I was standing behind the dog and I think I stepped on her tail or a twig on the ground which bent upward and poked her in the leg. All I remember was a bark/growl and her snout lunging at me. Don't remember any pain of the bite, I was more scared of the fact this dog I knew just attacked me. Luckily I was right in front of my dad and the neighbor when it happened so we were able to get to the hospital quickly and I think I had to get 5 stitches to close it. Gave me a scar and a story to tell. To this day, I tense up a bit around larger dogs, especially when they lunge upwards and put their paws on me.

Side note, when getting the stitches the doctors had to put me into this body velcro thing to strap me to the table so I wouldn't move. I also apparently yelled out "Mom, why are you letting them do this to me!??" while they were stitching me up. My parents were just outside the room so they heard it and my mom lost it. We laugh about it now. Also, the dog that bit me was still like my best friend after it was over and the neighbors got me a Pound Puppy stuffed toy as well, so I was happy.
 
I got chased by a dog while running through a neighbourhood at night. That fucking dog closed an entire city block on me in just a couple of seconds. I don't run in that community anymore.
 
I was on vacation in the Virgin Islands snorkeling around when I noticed a small shark chilling near a turtle. It then starts swimming towards me but I'm thinking it'll just swim off elsewhere, but no it comes right at me. I panicked and started thrashing, swimming back to shore which was probably not the best idea. It didn't bite me and probably just swam off. Still freaked me out though.

My friend used to work at Dunkin Donuts and we were hanging out there one night, there was a stray kitten that was sitting outside of the door, I thought it would be funny to pick him up and bring him in. I picked him up and as I was walking towards the door it went apeshit. deep scratch marks all over my arms and hands, that later pussed up and and swelled. I dropped the cat immediately and it ran into the woods.
 
Got stung by a couple of bees at once on the leg... while walking home. Walking the rest was pretty painful. Ooh yeah and I think I had an ant (or something) in my ear once when I was small. That's all I got, lol.
 
When I was 2, I was in my dad's village in Egypt, and one of his family's cows kicked me pretty far.

When I was 8-ish, I was playing in the snow and my neighbor's golden retriever took a piss on me.

And a garden snake almost bit me when I was 13, 14.
 
My mums boyfriends dog jumped up at me when I was younger, and it was taller than me, and a lot bigger.. Scratched all my face up but left no scars thankfully.

Oh and when I was like 8 I was horseriding during a holiday, I got to pick the horse, so picked the coolest looking one. Lo and behold it was a psycho and started buckaroo'ing me, thankfully I managed to hold on but I wouldn't want to think what might have happened if I'd fallen!
 
I was walking to class once and I felt this very painful impact to my head, it was as if someone dropped a rock square on my head. Turned out that I was attacked by a raven out of nowhere.
 
Hornet pierced my ear, bitten by a cat.

I recently walked through the front door of my parent's house, picked up something, then turned around to go back through the door only to come face to face with a medium sized spider that had threaded down from the ceiling. I screamed and it extended its legs suddenly, almost as if it had screamed too

I actually don't remember anything after the dog bite. My brother scared the dog off and walked me home, meanwhile I could feel warm blood gushing down my neck. It didn't hurt but I wasn't really feeling anything at that point. Next thing I know my mom is sitting my down on the chair and crying while kneeling in front of me, the ambulance pulls up the street and that's it.

After that, my next memory is waking up in the hospital with a towel covering my head. The doctor had just finished up the stitches and I recall entering a room where my mom was waiting.

Really, though, as traumatic as it was, what was even more traumatic were my two older brothers constantly telling me that I'll get rabies and I'd get a 10-inch long needle in either my eye or my belly button. So I'd have nightmares that I'd wake up with my mouth frothing or that I wouldn't wake up at all.

Strange you were in velcro. I guess I might have been as well, since I remember any of it.
