What makes you have to change your pants?

Mmmmmmm........brains

Published on April 20, 2005 By Spc Nobody Special In Humor

A simple points whoring question that probably won't earn me any points, what scare the piss out of you? Bugs? Monsters under the bed? John Kerry in '08?

For me, it's red paper wasps, and George Romero type zombies.

That girl with the broken neck climbing down the stairs in The Grudge made me jump, but doesn't scare me near as bad as a wasps nest.

If you want to get philisophical or political in your answer that's fine, but I'm looking for primal type fears, here. What turns your hair white and your pants wet?

Oh yeah, and if you don't answer? I'm afraid I might cry...........

I am deathly afraid of weeds. Not the drug weed, but as in dandelions. (don't ask )

Ah, but what if you survived the fall? There's the rub. It's happened before, falls from buildings, even airplanes, and it's not often pretty. You might consider skydiving or bunji if it's the rush you're after, not the suicidal tendencies. (Plus if you didn't make it, there's always Hamlet's question, of what happens after you die......)

Definitely not suicidal tendencies--and not really a rush...more of a curiousity. If I get to answer Hamlet's question, I'll be sure to post my experience on JoeUser.

If you had my neighbors and my lawn, you'd know why.........

What kind of spider, Hobo? Recluse? Giant Black Mamba Voodoo Spider?

Bridges - I have always been freaked out by them. Especially the huge suspension type ones or little ones that have no guard rails. I am even scared of some piers. I have nightmares about them all the time.

Heights and dogs. But mainly dogs. You just tell me there is a dog even remotely near me, and I will freak out beyond belief.

I am terrified of snakes (I won't even touch a picture of one), having my children near ledges of any sort, MANNEQUINS!!, Halloween masks, and knives. I don't know why.

MANNEQUINS!!,

Did you ever see the old Twilight zone where one woman kept finding herself drawn back to the department store?

She kept going back again and again, and one night she got locked in after hours, only to find out that they were alive, and took turns going out, only she stayed away too long and forgot. Next day, it was somebody else's turn, and she was just another mannequin.

When I was first saw it at about twelve, THAT was scary.

Clowns, I am Terrified by clowns, The only reason I can think of that I'd be afraid of them is because I snuck into the living room to watch whatever my parents were watching when I was like 6 or so and they had Attack of the Killer Klowns on. Stephen Kings It gets me also.

Insects of any kind, and reptiles. I found 6 gardener snakes in my back yard last week and when Midevil on their asses for like half an hour with a shovel, then buried em in the burn pile (little suckers kept moving!)

Skinny bridges, icy bridges, or getting trapped with my kids in any body of water (I have had sooooooo many nightmares about that) and unfreindly ghosts.

You don't say?

Even if the dog is only four months old, tiny, and owned by the Fazzes you still get scared.

I don't even know why I'm afraid of weeds myself. I am scared that if I pull a dandelion up, I'll unearth a huge root system leading to a giant, underground, carnivorous plant that'll take me under and eat me alive.

Irrational? Oh no.

That thing is vicious! He will pounce at any moment! You can see it in his eyes, and the way he jumps to reach my knees when I'm sitting down...

And you mock me about a fear of dogs? Well, now I have an appropriate comeback.

Stephen Kings It gets me also.

He got me with his story about a finger that kept coming up through the drain in some guy's bathroom. Stupid, and I knew better, but I still kept my eye on the sink every time I sat on the toilet for weeks........

and when Midevil on their asses for like half an hour with a shovel, then buried em in the burn pile

That's what you do when you're scared?!! HOLY CRAP!!! (edges away slowly, very careful not to make sudden, frightening moves)

That thing is vicious! He will pounce at any moment!

The little ones are the craziest. Forget pit bulls, I'd like to see a ban on chihuahuas.

I am scared that if I pull a dandelion up, I'll unearth a huge root system leading to a giant, underground, carnivorous plant that'll take me under and eat me alive.

No no, that's gophers.............

I have a fear of suffocation. It makes me slightly claustrophobic, but mostly because I like to breath, not because I'm scared of close quarters.

The zombie thing freaks me out, too. Recenlty had a bad dream/nightmare about zombies. Left the house at Oh-dark-thirty for PT that morning and my neighbor was out walking his dog. Saw the silhouette and heard the dog growl. My initial reaction was abject terror and a "HOLY CRAP!" I knew a split second after the first heart beat what it was, but the zombie thing was in the front of my brain. HAHAHAHA! My neighbor got a good laugh out of that one.

Gollum (the original Hobbit movie, although the LOTR's Gollum was fairly freaky) scared the carp out of me when I was a kid. It was years before I learned what Bilbo had in his pocketses...
