One time, I was walking down the street with my brother and a junebug flew right into the side of my neck. My instinctual reaction to this was to freak the fuck out, flail my arms and jump about a meter to the side away from where I was hit.

.... That all happened in about 0.087 seconds.

Yes, I jumped sideways.

i swear to god large insects specifically go out of their way to hit me on the nose while riding my bike, once it must have been a bee or something hitting me ass first because my nose swelled up right where the glasses rest on it.

it's borderline traumatizing
