My family lived in Texas for a time when my sister was younger and she stepped out of the shower one day and was stung on the head by a scorpion that was in her towel. Hearing that story I was certainly very vigilant, even paranoid perhaps, about checking my shoes and such when we went to visit family there when I was a kid.

A buddy grew up in Mexico. When he was 10 or so, he pissed on a wall and got stung in just about the worst place imaginable. I don't live around scorpions and now I keep an even larger distance between me and peeing-surfaces lol

  how often are you peeing on walls on why?

  The exact way of getting stung by a scorpion while peeing would be most interesting -- I honestly cannot imagine the exact mechanics. A bee, a wasp, OK, I can imagine. A scorpion cannot fly, so how did it get so close?

    I guess the scorpion must have been on the wall.

      Who pees that close to a wall though? Yikes

        My guess: someone who is attempting to pee on the scorpion. We are talking about a 10 year old, after all.

        It would appear that the scorpion was in fact pissed off, not pissed on.

When I was 4, my parents built the house where I grew up. Back then, it was out in the country. For the first year at least, some of the wildlife wasn't ready to admit the space they occupied was no longer theirs. Scorpions were one of the longest hold outs, as they were constantly making their way inside. According to my parents, I was four so don't really remember, but I was very good at chasing them without getting too close to get stung. I'm assuming the parental units told me they would sting and I'd get hurt/ouchy/etc. Guess I actually listened. The checking shoes by banging them is just muscle memory now. Now, I like to use blacklights to find them at night. </pointlessAnecdote>
