Shit, I don't remember exactly how it happened.  :lol: That was 20 years ago. I do remember I was going down and holding on to the railing and jumping up and down. I think I was jumping to the next step coming down. Then all of a sudden my foot was getting sucked down on the side. I'm sure it was my shoelace. And 5 year old feet are tiny. Someone hit the button, thank God, when I started screaming. No major damage though.

I've never seen anyone get stuck, and I didn't know people had a fear of it until MDS. People mentioned it in a thread before. Some crazy shit.

sticking my hand down the garbage disposal to fix it even though it is unplugged.
[/quote]

Ugh. This. Even when I use the disposal I get all panicky that my hand will get sucked in somehow. I have to resist standing like 10 feet away when I turn it on. :lol:

Ugh  I'm so weird about showers and bathtubs. I've talked about this before. I have to scrub the tub before I take a bath and if a hair is in the water, I jump out. Also, if the cocking is moldy 

[beli]

public bathrooms.  :-o

Cocking? What kind of bathtub do you use?  :lol:

I can't sit in a tub. I've never taken a bath here and we've been here a year. I think I took maybe 3 baths in my old house and I was there for 28 years.

[/quote]   Cause I love you.

[Circe]

My neighbors directly behind me. I swear they spy on me.
I have a walled up flight of stairs in my house. It creeps me out because I can't help but think there are dead bodies in there or something.
People who smell bad creep me out because I wonder how they can't smell themselves.

[/quote]

Whales are awesome but they are just too big to be living, swimming, jumping mammals. If they only floated on top of the water, were land animals, or had wheels, then I would be less afraid.

[jayslilwoman]

I was scared to death of jello when i was a baby. It still creeps me out  :lol:

[Nocturnity]

Cicadas scare the living shit out of me.  And the intro to the old series Tales From the Darkside used to terrify me as a kid.

[LC]

Unsolved Mysteries scared me as a child.

[beli]

the nutcracker song scares me for some reason.

Dear God grasshoppers are the devil.  Those and praying mantises.  UGHHHH.  

I also am afraid of deep water, oceans, lakes..you name it.

Bats freak me out because I always think they are going to swoop in and try to nest in my hair.

I'm terrified of low flying airplanes, I always think they are going to crash on my house.

OMG OMG OMG I love this thread, I could live here!

When I was little I had wretched scary intrusive thoughts, ( I had OCD) but I wont even count those.
1.The sister in the back bedroom from Pet Sematary
2. Bugs - any kind, dont matter
3. anything fast moving that skitters- even if I know what it is it freaks me the EFF out
4. Walking past a blackened window at night ( I imagine a face popping up pressed against the window)
5. Heights, or anything with a balcony. I imagine being drawn to jump , or throwing whatever is in my hands over ( ok this one is ocd lol)
6. those creepy ass dolls with no face that stand in the corner. fuckers.
7. half deflated mutating balloons (the latex kind)
8. things coming out of holes

I could do this for hours :lol:

Zelda!  That bitch is the only person in a horror movie that freaked me out, ever!  Besides Chucky, and that's because I had a Patty Play Pal when I was younger and thought that bitch was going to do some Chucky stuff to me!



I HATE opening biscuit cans.  The anticipation of it popping freaks me out!  Not to mention as a kid, I remember the games where you would have to sit on a balloon and pop them, I hate popping balloons!  Any sudden noise that I know is coming and is going to startle me!

I refused to play that balloon game as well as musical chairs, but that's another story.  I have to leave the room when I place something in the toaster because it always startles me.

cows scare me.
