When the hair on the back of your neck stands on end !!!

When does the hair on the back of your neck stand up ???
I have had a few times .
As some of you know I am an Industreal Scale Tech so this meens i get to go to some WEIRD and SCARY places .
Pestaside and Herbaside plants , not to mention the streight chemical plants . Now I don't know much about chemestry but i know what smells EVIL , mostly they start with meth-ethel, or methacrilite . and a few others . I have been in a starter fliud plant , bio-chem weapon depots and various munition plants ,
but the most scared was an accetalene plant , I had to mentaly restrain my self from running all day for 2-3 days while we finished the project .

Also once when i was in the USMC we were in the desert doing LARGE manuvers , whole tank divisions and the such . We were overlooking the whole thing just over the crest of a hill , i felt the hair on the back of my neck standing up and turned around to see what was back there just as a Cobra gun ship topped the hill at speed . the pilot and I saw eye to eye for about a mili-second and he passed so close over me i swear i could have reached out and touched a skid !!!

i was on the flight line one day, when i noticed one of the f16's coming in from an unusual direction... i had that -"oh shit, this can't end well" hair on the neck moment just as another 16 on the correct path came down on top of it. both pilots lived but the USAF had two fewer fighters to fly. (turns out the one who screwed up was an instructor. end of career...)

Perhaps not quite so dramatic, but a friend of a friend once came by my house with a young man who made my every 6th sense alarm bell go off. He seemed polite enough, normal enough, etc., but I told that person to never bring that guy around again. Sure enough, two weeks later, the guy who had made my hair stand on end had some sort of psychotic break and tried to burn down his apartment with his two roommates in it. Luckily the authorities arrived in time to put out the fire and deport the dude to the local funny farm. I've had other such 6th sense warnings about people which have proven correct, so I pay a great deal of attention to my intuition on such things.

When I've put too much wax on it.

sorry

Never mind the back of my neck, ALL my fur stood up once when the mouse scurrying along the wall of an apartment I had a while ago turned out to be a mouse-sized spider.

EW!

I have the same problem with cockroaches, my hair stands up and my body just freezes with utter fright! I would rather bathe in snakes then be in the room with a hiding roach.

When you're on a recon patrol, and you hear the team leader say "UH OH!".
Then it comes to light that he has been reading the map sideways.
Then discovering the team is in the middle of a MASSIVE enemy minefield.
A shit-in-your-pants-and-carry-on social event not to be missed.

I had a LT call Batallion HQ and say "Lima Oscar Serra Tango over" , me " uhh sir , i know where we are "
I also had a Cpl that was reading a map upside down once , "Cpl H. I know we are WAY far north but not THAT far north!!!"
