Winkski15 · April 2010

I was roaming around on BOTB as I am a complete waste of space today, and there was a post on there about an extremely large arse spider. have me the heebie jeebies looking at it.

So what things give you gals the heebs?

knighec · April 2010

"Extremely large arse spiders" also give me the heebie jeebies! In AL we have these banana spiders that weave huge sticky webs across our backyard and everywhere, they make me nervous all summer. ::shiver:: just thinking about them!

Spiders and other creepie crawlies for me too...I had to kill a nasty black one in the bedroom this morning! Blech!!

staycee · April 2010

that damn spider did me in today.

ermaderma · April 2010

june bugs! They are sooooo gross! There are always a TON of them at my MIL's house and they can get stuck in your hair Ick!

HazelEyez24 · April 2010

Calamari...the ones with the little bodies & legs.

Yuck, I just got the jeebies writing it!

triciaj1 · April 2010

BOOGERS!!! even my own make me throw up sometimes..

BOOGERS!!! even my own make me throw up sometimes.. and used bandaids..

1. Lizards of any kind (but especially geckos). This is more like a true phobia than a heebie-jeebie kinda thing though. I can't even watch the damn Geico commercials!

2. Nail clippings and the sound of nails being clipped.

triciaj1 · April 2010

SRH I actually rushed someone out of the pharmacy bc she was sitting there clipping her nails in the waiting area.

rebelina1 · April 2010

I have some strange ones....

Just the thought of eating food off of a wooden stick (corn dog, popscicle...). Those tongue depressers at the doctor is one of my worst fears.

Eating (or seeing people eat) meat off a bone.

That Woolite carpet cleaning stick. The one that scrubs the carpet with a device on a pole. Just seeing that commercial and that scrubber going across the carpet freaks me out.

I am strange.

The words Moist and Panties. *shiver*

cooperl788 · April 2010

Pretty much all insects, especially wasps. Their beady little bug eyes give me the shivers.

Apart from bugs, watching any sort of trauma happen to the eye. Like on movies where they torture someone by threatening to put someone's eye out, I have to cover my ears and close my eyes. I've got the heebs just thinking about it.

youngin12 · April 2010

I love the chiropractor and I can handle hearing the chiropractor pop someone's neck, but hearing someone pop their own neck creeps me the fvck out!

ECUGirl2004 · April 2010

Spiders and cockroaches. I hate them. I can't even kill them because I can't handle being that close to them. I will attempt to kill them by throwing heavy objects at them, but that rarely works.

cera.rn · April 2010

I have an irrational fear of large fish. I get the shivers just thinking about a koi pond.

jesskidd · April 2010

We found a tick on our dog earlier today and now I feel like they're all over me!!

ermaderma · April 2010

Oh, and water in my ears! I HAVE to use a Qtip or a towel (if I'm swimming or something) to get the water out of my ears.

hahahaha I dont know why i find this so humorous but the mental image of throwing a book across the room at a spider is hilarious. Probably because I would do the same. My favorite method of defense is hairspray. Despite my fear of spiders, I never seem to have any bug killer, but hairspray I always have. I spray them into submission and hope they die from it. It's terrible I know...

ishka338 · April 2010

I can't stand bats (the flying kind). I cover my head in the bat house at the zoo and once I screamed and made DH take me out of there so I didn't have to look up. They just creep me the eff out!

Both of these are better than me. I usually just quarantine the area until DH gets home and gets rid of it. Once a wasp got into our main living area, and since I couldn't just shut the door on it, I took DD and left. We stayed out and about all afternoon until DH could get home and vacuum it up. Maybe I should try the book or the hairspray...

Zombies, roaches and rubbing paper between the thumb and first finger.. I'm weird like Rebelina..

This is me with geckos!! They get in our house during the summer months and I freak the fvck out. It was AWFUL this past summer when DH was deployed and I was left without my gecko protector.

Eventually I learned that spraying ridiculous amounts of Raid on them will eventually kill them. Unfortunately I could never even look at them to figure out where to spray the Raid so I would be spraying it all over a general area hoping I hit the little bastard.

Oh but then eventually there's the problem of the retrieval of the dead gecko...:::shudders:::

Snakes.

I was on a ride at Busch Gardens once, one of those 3-D ones where a snake came out right in front of my face and I screamed bloody murder....even though I knew it was completely fake Embarrassed

triciaj1 · April 2010

Awwww.. we have a pet lizard. He is a fence swift named Henry. DH saved him from getting chopped up when I mowed last year.

I have thrown many a phone book across the room at spiders! LOL I used to use the hairspray method, but I don't think I even have hairspray in the house anymore.

If throwing a book doesn't work, I just have to leave the area and wait for someone else to kill it.

Once, when I was in high school, I came home from work one night, and there was a huge spider on our front porch. I was terrified to walk past it, so I grabbed one of our cats who was hanging out outside, and threw her on the porch, in the hopes that she'd attack the spider or scare it off. She just walked away, and I think I put her back on the porch 3 or 4 times before giving up. I finally just ran on the porch and into the house as fast as I could.

Yes! DH thinks I'm crazy - "I can hear what you're doing in there!"

Hyfagal · April 2010

Centipedes and hearing people suck their fingers after eating. The finger sucking exceeds pet peeve into a space that gives me goosebumps and chills.

willamina28 · April 2010

spiders (doesn't matter how small)

bees (any type)

people popping joints (anywhere)

dryness, like when your hands are too dry or something, I get that chalkboard/nails feeling. (I feel like this kinda goes along with Rebelina's wood-in-mouth phobia, the tongue depressor gives me the same "dry" feeling...ick)

We can be phobia friends, just with different phobias. I do the exact same "run and pray" method to avoid the geckos that live in our garage. I always jump out of my car and run as fast as I can to unlock the door and get inside so I can avoid an inevitable attack of the evil lurking geckos.

Yes, I'm crazy and I know this.

Cardboard boxes ::shudder:: I can't open them because of the noise it makes when you lift the flaps and they rub against each other. And lord help me if the box is packed with styrofoam, ugh.

Oh, and cotton balls. I HATE cotton balls. And rubber basketballs. And dry skin.

I am an OCD freak. I also count my steps (in my head, not out loud). Anyone as effed up as me?

How odd, one of my bffs has the same dislikes as your first two listed.

YES!! Mine is not so much the even number thing, but if I start on my right foot I have to end on my left--which automatically ensures an even number.

I also hate wood. I cannot use a standard No. 2 pencil. ::gag:: And I have never eaten meat straight off a bone. So gross.

Accidentally scratching your fingernails against a metal bowl. That always creeps me out.

Also, not exactly the heebie jeebies, but that air puff thing at the eye doctor always skeeves me out, too. I can't do it! It's not like it hurts, but it always freaks me out.

I forgot about the air puff thing! Yes! They always have to do it multiple times because i always end up blinking haha!

Moths. Blech. I hate those things! They're so dang unpredictable, you never know where they're going to go, but they always wind up darting right into my face.

Me too! I *hate* the finger sucking things. It's even worse if they lick their fingers and then let them air dry rather than wiping them on a napkin or something. Totally freaks me out.
