People who stand too close to you in public.

 

Coming back through the x-ray machines in a Spanish airport recently when the lady in front of me got stopped and her carry on bag opened.

 

Oddly, rather than take her aside, they did it there and then and held up the whole queue. Whatever, not her fault and I obviously didn’t invade her space, just standing back while I waited my turn.

 

When they finished with her, they did exactly the same to me. Some fucking idiot behind me with a wife-beater on and a load of shit upper-arm tribal tattoos proceeded to stand so close he was pressing against me as if trying to shunt me forward to get me moving.

 

I turned round and asked him what he thought he was doing and why he was breathing down my neck, and he goes “Oh, yes, I suppose I am stood a bit close to you aren’t I?”

 

Errrrr, yes...your skin is touching mine, you fucking oddity, back away. Definitely the sort of person who stands in the urinal next to you when there are several free further along.

Has he topped the bullet ant?

My Dad was stung by three or four bullet ants (we call them "tucanderas" in Bolivia) when he stood on a nest of them in the Amazon once.

Only time I ever saw him cry. He was able to stagger back to the canoe and the native guy he was with got him back to the encampment where we lived. It had to be at least 2 hours after the sting when I saw him for the first time but he was weeping in agony. Stung right through his canvas shoes.

The wildlife presenter Steve Backshall once did a show where he was with an Amazonian tribe who have a rite of passage for teenage boys in the tribe. It involves wearing these gloves made out of vines in which live bullet ants are sewn in. Backshall wore the gloves and was basically exactly like you've described your dad once he'd been stung. Unbearable agony.

I was browsing the internet, and I managed to find this picture of Ne Moes dad and his sting.

It looks like his dad is on the phone to The Police.
