Irrational things that creep us out

**O-Face**

H told me last night that he hates swimming pools,

1.  The drain
2.  The spigot

and ESPECIALLY if they're empty. 

Also, being in a carwash, when not in a car.  He services doors and told me he would rather go out and around to the other door than walk through.  All those NOZZLES pointed at him. 

I couldn't think of anything for me.  Oh wait I did, under the bed.  I always think of Sixth Sense and the hand shooting out from under it. ::silent scream::

What are your irrational fears? Thing that creep you out for no reason?

Walking by a mirror in the dark. I still sneak past or try to have the cat with me (because, you know, the cat would totally protect me from a mirror monster.)

Another one that is laughable to me (I'm a mean wife):

We were sitting while navigating with a map in my lap and the edges were pointed at H's face...he made me curl the pages up.  heh.

Blech.  *monsters inside me*  EWWW

Walking around my house in the dark.  I'm afraid someone or something is going to jump out at me.

Mirrors in the dark. 

I like to have all the doors in my room shut (closet, bathroom, etc) at night. 

Speaking of creepy things...I have a story.

Mrs.Conn I'd rather have the doors open than closed. There's nowhere to hide if the door is open. Also I hate sleeping by a window that has no curtain or blinds.

All of my fears are 100% rational.  It is a dangerous, scary world.

I am scared that wooden coffee stirrers are going to put splinters into my coffee. Seriously.

I think of Pet Cemetary with the bed.

Sometimes I can't watch Criminal Minds because I know whatever storyline will creep me out that night.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one.  Add windows to the mirror thing, too.

I used to be way scared that something was under my bed.   I would leap off my bed so I'd land several feet away just in case something tried to snake out and get me.

Paulo's Menina Bela

Dirty hands.  I can't eat foods like ribs or drumsticks without wiping my hands between bites. I'll even hold foods at the ends with the tips of my fingers to keep my hands from getting too dirty. H and SIL are like cave people. They'll tear through a drumstick without putting it down once. I stare in silent horror as their hands get greasier and greasier, willing them to use a napkin.

I have to take deep calming breaths while I'm feeding son. When he sticks his hand in his mouth right after a bite, then rubs his face I say to myself, "It's okay. It's all part of the process. People laugh at this isht on AFV."

I don't let any limbs hang off the mattress/couch while I sleep. I have an irrational fear that something will touch them.

I also have a weird thing about salmonella from raw chicken or eggs. Cooking them takes me a long time because I stop and wash my hands and sanitize the counter/cutting board every so often.

And H hates band-aids so much that he won't wear them himself, (he tapes gauze instead) and will not touch me if I have one somewhere on me.  He FLIPS. OUT. over used ones, I have to wrap them in TP before throwing them away so he doesn't see them in the trash.

I am scared of a bee flying into my soda/beer can and stinging me in the throat.

I freak the f out when Herbert starts barking at nothing.

And I don't like hiking in the woods because I'm terrified of finding a body.

LoveMuffins

I can't walk across those grates on the sidewalk. I'm convinced they will fall. Except that I can't walk across the ones that are only 2" above the place they would fall too either... it's completely irrational.

Also, when I read scary books, if I finish it late at night, I have to take it to a different room, place it facedown, and put something heavy on top of it, before I can sleep. How's that for weird?

<div>This happened to me one summer.  The bee stung me on the back of my tongue, and I thought I was going to die.  Granted, I'm not allergic to bees or anything, but my tongue did swell.  FWIW, bees taste like burned hamburger.</div><div>
</div><div>I am creeped out by the idea of somebody watching me.  All of our windows have curtains and blinds, and I freak out if FI leaves them open in the evening.  I don't want the lights inside puttng me on display for all the crazies in the world.  Also, I don't want the douche next door to look in a window and think, "Hmm.  I think I'd like to steal their tv."</div>
