Default OMG, so disgusted!
I was sitting on the couch and went to take a sip of water from my glass without looking, and after I took a nice long drink I noticed that there was a *HUGE* fly floating in the water. SICK!! And he was still alive and swimming around in there. I feel like I almost want to throw up. I hate flies! To me they're just so dirty and unsanitary. Yuck!!

Has this ever happened to you?

Ewwwwww.

LOL, a couple of years ago we lived in Holland. Naturally, we cycled everywhere and once I had my mouth open and a fly (or some other bug) went straight down my throat. I tried to cough it up but it was too late. Gross. I chugged a beer when I got home.

We eat so many bugs in our life time. I just wouldnt want to know about it. Yes this happened to me. I was in a resturant in NYC. I went to sip my tea and there was a roach floating in it. I fraked out , jumped up and screamed. Yuck!!! I rather have the fly.

I was drinking coffee last Friday at Starbucks when a gust of air hit us and a lot of dirt , bugs and particles ended up in cups and glasses of water, apparently I was the only one freaked out that things were floating on my coffee, everyone else continued drinking, yuck...

Yes, I TOTALLY get grossed out. For some reason bugs love flying near water even though the minute they drop in they die (idiots). I usually keep a cup of water on my nightstand for those late night thirsts, and more often than not, bugs "drop in" (pun intended). I ALWAYS check my cup before I take a sip these days, I'm really paranoid!!

This happens to me too lol We live on a lake so have more bugs than usual and if the dogs are outside, we will leave the door cracked so they can get back in, but I guess the bugs see it as an invitation too lol
I've had several full cups of tea or coffee go to waste because a bug decided they wanted a drink! Now I just check before I take a sip.

EW! I hate flies. My and my friend went out to lunch the other dat at Ruby Tuesdays. We could hardly even eat as there were all flies around us. We kept covering our food and brushing them away. She complained to the waitress and the manage came over and apologized. He did not charge us for our drinks. The same thing happened a year earlier when I went out for lunch w/my mother. We had to keep moving as there were flies all over the place.

This is exactly the reason why I don't drink water from the glass in the middle of the night in the dark.

A gnat flew up my nose at work on Monday and I sneezed about 16 times. My co-workers were like, "wth??"

I have a friend who bought a bag of salad and found a small dead frog in it. How gross is that??

One time I opened a bag of spinach salad and there was a ladybug in it. Poor thing.

And many many other times when I'm washing vegetables or just boiling them (Chinese vegetables) there's always little tiny flies floating in the water. Those seem pretty harmless to me but if it's anything bigger... yikes.

Yes, I remember eating a salad with my folks at dinner awhile ago and one piece of lettuce crunched a little TOO strangely. It was some sort of bug. I about puked and fainted and couldn't finish the salad!
