What is your phobia?

Not really afraid of insects and bugs, but I'm afraid to kill them? However, ladybugs... I'm scared of them. Ladybugs has a bit of a story, that's why it's so specific.

I was delivering beverage with my van, countryside full of forest, around sept/oct, and it was unusually warm the whole week. I had to deliver only once in a week on this route. I had to pee, so I stopped my van next to the forest, finished my thing, going back to my van and honestly I've yet to realise what's going on... "my van is dirty, I'll need to wash it"

Got in the car, touched the key, when I realise... Ladybugs, hundreds of them everywhere... The "dirty spots" on my car? Ladybugs. On the steering wheel, in the ventilation, door, seat, windows, above me, on me. I didn't have problem with bugs until then, but in that moment I felt my blood pressure skyrockets. Ohh.. And if it's not enough, I literally didn't have choice, just to go the next customer, so I drove approx 4-5 km, with the speed of 50-65 km/h, because it was road in the mountains with sharp turns downhill and beverage in the back, it felt painfully slow.

The customer had a small shop in this village, she had the same problem, and used a vacuum cleaner to get rid of them, it sounds cruel, but she said there was a point when she closed the shop for 2 days, because it was impossible to have her shop open. So I guess she was pretty frustrated.
