...irrational fear?

clineak · January 2013

I found out today that a fellow Bumpie is freaked out by escalators, and it got me thinking...what other crazy things weird people out?

apocalypse

I cannot watch any movie that is about this (the new Brad Pitt zombie movie is freaking me out). I have nightmares for months. Even the commercials give me nightmares.

Centipedes! Omfg )(@*#!@(*$3!_@

I get a lot of these creepy things when the seasons change, they come up from the basement. Thankfully the dogs like to eat them, but they seriously creep me the eff out. If one gets away and hides somewhere, I think about that effer for DAYS. I'm afraid it's going to get in my bed, and crawl in my ears/mouth, or hide in my hair.

Mothereffing hate centipedes. Bleghhhhhhhh

Yes I'd rather be in a room with a hungry lion.

Serving raw chicken.

If you're eating chicken at my house, it's burnt and has a minimum of 3 test cuts in each piece.

Mice. I'm fine with snakes and any kind of bugs, but I absolutely can't tolerate mice or any other rodents, including pet hamsters and gerbils.

I am the same way! I am also paranoid about handling raw chicken and spreading salmonella. I am always sanitizing every counter, faucet, salt and pepper shaker, sink, etc that may have even possibly been contaminated. I get heart palpitations watching SO prepare meat because he just doesn't get this concept. I went ape-sh!t on him a few weeks ago when he was rinsing raw chicken in the sink right over Mason's highchair tray.

I don't like to watch other people use sharp objects like knives, scissors, even sharp pencils. Watching SO use power tools (and he does work construction) almost gives me a heart attack. I can handle heights for myself, but i don't like to watch other people climb things like ladders, construction staging, etc. I just don't trust that others are going to be as careful and safe as I would be.

flying insects, specifically bees. Creepy little buggers, moving in 3 dimensions...it's just not natural.

Ah, so many things. But my biggest fear is death, and I guess that is irrational because it is inevitable.

babykuz · January 2013

it is not really a "fear" per se, but I hate feathered animals (ducks, birds, chickens...). i have to have a safe distance btw me and the animal (if at a pond and a duck/geese starts coming closer...ewwww) My MIL also has chickens so it grosses me out for the kids to be in the coup with her

Parking garages. I have an illogical fear that it will collapse on top of me. This was brought on by watching a movie about an earthquake when I was little (my teenage brothers let me watch). People were trapped in a parking garage just waiting to be rescued. I'm okay if it collapses and we all die instantly, but the thought of being trapped freaks me out. Its been almost 5 years since I parked in a parking garage and that was because I had a newborn and no other parking options within a 5 block radius.

My frickin mom dripped raw chicken juice on the countertop and wiped it up with Windex!!!! Gah!!! I freaked.
