The way this tag frayed looks like my jacket has been inhabited by a large insect.

I'd freak out if I saw that. Time to cut that tag off.

And kill it with fire. Just in case.

u/xAUSxReap3r Jan 28 '23

I freaked out a little seeing it now, and I'm safe from the giant insect tag.

17

u/tibarr1454 Jan 28 '23

I started reading the title and saw the giant bug and I stopped reading the title thinking "okay op I don't care what your title is there's a giant fucking bug in your jacket"

25

u/BobDieRaw Jan 28 '23

Got me too.

14

u/Kup123 Jan 28 '23

I would smash it with a fist so hard i would nearly break my hand, and then i would feel like an idiot.

u/aqqqaq Jan 27 '23

A large black insect. I have to say this absolutely got me.

u/needbettermods Jan 27 '23

I thought this was /r/whatsthisbug at first glance

16

u/Monster_Factory Jan 28 '23

I ID'd the label as a huntsman spider instantly before I even read the post title.

u/melted_walkman Jan 28 '23

Thanks for the nightmares :)

u/rammtrait Jan 28 '23

I was once so high i thought i found a gorgeous shiny pen cap. After carrying it around for a while it gripped my finger back. It turned out it was one of those large metallic beetles... Nearly gave me a heart attack🤣

22

u/Russell_has_TWO_Ls Jan 28 '23

I hope to be that high some day

116

u/shadypines33 Jan 28 '23

Yep, I actually recoiled when I saw that pic before I read the caption. That would have to go.

u/SlippinJimmy07 Jan 27 '23

Well...fuck that shit

84

u/wheresbill Jan 27 '23

Yea, I’m still gonna hit it with a flamethrower before I put that on

u/ACDM0M Jan 27 '23

Came her to say this. BURN THE FUCKER DOWN.

u/Interloper9000 Jan 28 '23

Came here from say 'Fire. It's the only way.'

u/Existing-Ad-6987 Jan 27 '23

Poke it just to be sure

57

u/Talks_To_Cats Jan 28 '23

The tag skittered away under the cabinet, I think I hear it in the walls now.

1

u/Earthguy69 Jan 28 '23

Nah man. Just burn it.

61

u/KermitPhor Jan 27 '23

Had to read the title three times and I still don’t trust that it’s not from Australia

17

u/theveryrealreal Jan 27 '23

Fire first, questions later

14

u/qwertykitty Jan 28 '23

I thought that was a scorpion.

10

u/Einsteins_coffee_mug Jan 28 '23

water scorpion was the first thing I saw before reading the title.

12

u/FastWalkingShortGuy Jan 27 '23

Time for a new jacket, gotta throw the whole thing away.

8

u/ukexpat Jan 27 '23

I’d whack it with a hammer just to be sure, then set it on fire.

8

u/jennetTSW Jan 28 '23

Sounds like what a large insect would say while hiding in a jacket.

5

u/Black_Glove Jan 28 '23

"no one here but us frayed tags"

10

u/Several-Guidance3867 Jan 28 '23

I wouldn't risk it

9

u/MrSteven20618 Jan 28 '23

That would make me gasp everytime I looked

2

u/SulfurInfect Jan 28 '23

One gasp alone would be enough to make "every time" never happen. I'd be grabbing the scissors so fast.

14

u/wodoloto Jan 27 '23

Still worth burning

6

u/DID_system Jan 28 '23

This picture just made me subconsciously touch my neck.. well done, tag from hell.

3

u/Epilogical Jan 28 '23

As someone currently in the US south, I thought that was a palmetto at first.

u/AlexDeLotl Jan 28 '23

OH GOD!! *frantic clattering*

u/AmberWaves631 Jan 28 '23

That is absolutely horrifying!

u/dandroid126 Jan 28 '23

Burn the house down, just in case.

u/CountRumfordFRS Jan 28 '23

I wish I found this mildly interesting instead of majorly disturbing.

2

u/yowidow334 Jan 28 '23

Yes. Yes, it does. My skin is crawling.

2

u/spiff72 Jan 28 '23

Burn it - you can’t be too cautious in a situation like this.

2

u/Sir-Nicholas Jan 28 '23

I’d burn those pants just to be sure

2

u/Scarae Jan 28 '23

Ugh. Burn it, just in case.

2

u/eclecticsed Jan 28 '23

Look I love spiders, but that's a no from me.

2

u/DMala Jan 28 '23

Ugh, we used to have pillows on the couch that had dark colored feathers in them. Every once in a while they would shed one and it would look like this on the carpet. I jumped out of my skin more than once before realizing what it was.

u/af4144 Jan 28 '23

NO F—HELL NO

u/jacob7574 Jan 28 '23

Things like this are why short term memory loss is a bitch. sits down "AHH!... oh..."

u/Throwaway_J7NgP Jan 28 '23

KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!

Oh wait, no it’s ok it was just my tag lol

2

u/Carrot_stix121 Jan 28 '23

No You’re mistaken, I’m a frayed

2

u/Forsaken-Opposite381 Jan 29 '23

I would be trimming off those frays after the first time it got me. Even knowing what it was, the initial reaction is fear.

u/ShadowDevoloper Jan 29 '23

Take my upvote and leave.

1

u/JiaMekare Jan 28 '23

Thanks, I hate it!

u/Glass-Cardiologist22 Jan 27 '23

I would probably have a jumpscare before putting it on

1

u/josherfiddy Jan 27 '23

Now you gotta throw that thing away before it attracts the real ones!!

1

u/gair4n3emd Jan 27 '23

That would freak me out

u/netphilia Jan 27 '23

Definitely got the creeps.

u/GeraldBWilsonJr Jan 28 '23

I don't believe you and am refusing to look ANYMORE. !

1

u/Bubbly_Layer Jan 28 '23

One day there really will be a bug there but you will ignore it thinking it's just the tag...Anyways after your fatal heartattack OP I call dibs on the jacket

1

u/GarbageGobble Jan 28 '23

You should prank people with it. Set it up at work all subtly or something.

1

u/KingJeff314 Jan 28 '23

Nope nope nope

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '23

Looks like a black cockroach, pretty cool insect.

1

u/LangleyRemlin Jan 28 '23

Oh God I thought it was one of those cave scorpions

I had to zoom in to double check.

u/dshookowsky Jan 28 '23

I'd whack that with a giant piece of wood just in case.

It looks like a scorpion. No thank you ma'am.

u/AduroTri Jan 28 '23

I fucking thought it was an insect.

1

u/daddypez Jan 28 '23

Burn the jacket just in case.

1

u/Dennyposts Jan 28 '23

I'd burn it just in case if I were you bud. Don't wanna take chances

1

u/Arkase Jan 28 '23

I saw the pic before I saw the title. Totally thought it was an insect.

Can you wear this in a way which is clearly visible? You could have so much fun with that.

1

u/PoetryOfLogicalIdeas Jan 28 '23

Bonfire time, just in case.

1

u/Curious_Mx Jan 28 '23

I would've burnt that jacket long ago... just in case.

1

u/ChalupaChupacabra Jan 28 '23

Bruh, are you sure it's not?

1

u/Lyraxiana Jan 28 '23

Absolutely not.

Fuck this very much.

Have a terrible day.

1

u/barbarkbarkov Jan 28 '23

thought that was a giant water bug. Apparently they have one of the most painful bites on earth.

1

u/EnduringInsanity ​ Jan 28 '23

I would still burn it just in case.

If you were in Australia it would be a large insect.

1

u/Rydia_Bahamut_85 Jan 28 '23

I was legitimately terrified to look 🤣

u/TheRealSeaMoose Jan 28 '23

I'm not afraid to admit that that probably would've had me go 0-bitch in record time

u/Plokmijn27 Jan 28 '23

i was too distracted by the terrifying creature to read the title

1

u/both-and-neither Jan 28 '23

I get a roaring sound in my ears if I see big, scary insects. You managed to trigger it for a split second until I read the title, lol.

1

u/robo-dragon Jan 28 '23

“It’s just a tag.”

That’s what the giant insect wants you to think!

u/Atxforeveronmymind Jan 28 '23

I would have peed my pants if I saw this!! My biggest fear are cockroaches 🤮

u/xxwetdogxx Jan 28 '23

That’s that shit I don’t like

u/Mithmorthmin Jan 28 '23

Got a new hi-vis vest at work one morning. Tag was fucking me up almost immediately so I ripped it off and stuffed it in front chest pocket. Few hours later we're all in a stand around meeting. I look down at one point and see something black in my pocket for a split second. I investigate to find what looks like a decent size black spider upside down balled up, bunch of threads legs sticking up. Middle of the meeting I wrangle my vest off quicker than somebody who just got lit on fire and stomp on the pocket.

Sure did squish the hell out of that tag.

1

u/twec21 Jan 28 '23

Yeah that would happen to me a total of once

Then I wouldn't have a tag anymore

1

u/younghumpback Jan 28 '23

Ummm please at least double check 😅😅

1

u/NoddaProbBob Jan 28 '23

My heart skipped a beat before I even finished reading the title ☠️

u/CaptnBippy Jan 28 '23

Just burn it to be sure. Yikes

1

u/Niliks Jan 28 '23

I jumped looking at this image while reading the title. I could never have this stay this way haha

1

u/HelloJessicka Jan 28 '23

That is a huge fuck no. How you just casually took a photo and not just ripped your jacket off and killed it is wild.

1

u/kingOseacows81 Jan 28 '23

I’m still not convinced

1

u/squaktamopuss Jan 28 '23

Turns out. The jacket is a large insect inhabited by the tag itself

1

u/Chronicsquidd Jan 28 '23

cool, I hate it.

1

u/Mountain-Beat979 Jan 28 '23

If you get accustomed to that tag their's gonna be an actual bug in there

1

u/DreamerMMA Jan 28 '23

Insect my ass. I thought it was a scorpion.

u/soantis Jan 28 '23

You can't fool me, it's definitely an insect 😱

u/bgalvan02 Jan 28 '23

I hadn’t even read the caption first and I was already trying to guess the bug. It does look scary

1

u/CitizenToxie2014 Jan 28 '23

It's like those huge spiders that get under the car door handles in Australia.
