What are some things that you are perfectly cool with, that other people freak out about?

I think I used to freak out when wasps come around, but not any more. The reason is that many, many moons ago my first husband, my little daughter and I went on a canoe trip down Crystal river. The first night we decided to camp on a bluff. Well, after we beached the boat and climbed up the hill, you had to pass a bush that was just ALIVE with wasps. I mean, we had to pass within 5 feet of it. Clouds of wasps every where, buzzing and buzzing.
The first time I walked past it freaked me out a little. After the 3rd time, with absolutely no incident, I didn’t even think about it any more.
Since then I don’t even flinch when a wasp or a bee comes around. In fact, I get a little angry with people who do freak out (and it seems that most people do) and start jumping around like they’re on hot coals, trying to swat it. That just pisses them off and they will sting if they land on a person after that.
