CONFESS!!!!! What really creeps you out!!

[LynneSin]

Me?

Spoons and other kitchen items made with that really cheap processed wood. Like you'd use with popcicles. I'm getting creeped out as I post this

:scared:

[Brickbat]

1. Cotton balls that "creak" when you squeeze them, and feet.

[quakerboy]

6. Those cotton balls

are a truly horrible thing. That texture sensation has also played a prominent part in several of my nightmares.

[Brickbat]

7. While I am sorry you suffer from this as well, I'm glad someone knows what I'm talking about.

Sometimes I find socks or pillow stuffing that does the same thing. It's horrid and I can't imagine having a nightmare about it, unless it involved putting a cotton ball in your mouth and biting down on it.

[quakerboy]

8. Its not the cotton ball, inherently

its that horrible textural sensation. Its been years since Ive had a real nightmare, so Im having trouble recalling the context within the dream, but I do recall that sensation, and go out of my way to avoid it. Ive found a few other things in life that deliver that feeling. When I do, those things are permanently banned from my life.

[Brickbat]

9. You're right -- it's not necessarily the cotton ball, but the creak.

[HopeHoops]

2. Eric "Mickey Mouse Voice" Cantor on a TV I'm passing by.

[leftyladyfrommo]

3. Men with wigs on. You can always tell. Clicky false teeth. n/t

[MorningGlow]

4. The noise of utensils scraping together

When people attack their food like it's the enemy and hack it to tiny pieces, scraping the knife and fork after every whack, all the hairs on the back of my neck go up. x(

[quakerboy]

5. Vegitales

That is the stuff of my nightmares. Vegetables that talk and defy gravity? not OK.

[LynneSin]

10. Talking veggies just creep me out

Mind you, I am ok with talking sponges but not talking vegetables.

[quakerboy]

44. Its the gravity defying thing

that earns them the spot in my nightmares. I kid you not, literally every time Ive watched one of those hideous movies. I'm not ok with that.

[ohiosmith]

11. Vienna Sausages

[LynneSin]

12. No good can come from Meat Products in a can

:scare:

[ohiosmith]

13. Amen sister!

[Heidi]

14. Back hair (sorry, it makes me feel like I'm gonna hork up a hairball).

A raw, whole chicken (it reminds me of a skinned cat).
People who don't cover their noses/mouths when they cough/sneeze.
The vinyl, germ-collecting seats in doctors' offices.

And really, people, I'm not a germophobe. But some stuff...

[davsand]

69. I had a woman turn around and sneeze on me one time in a check out line.

My horror was magnified by the fact that I was right in the middle of reading The Stand by Stephen King. Dunno if you've read it or not, but a key component of the story is a "superflu" that manifests in the first chapters of the book. King spends a fair amount of time describing how that flu spreads and kills off everyone. That flu began like a head cold with wet sneezes and a cough, so you can probably imagine how freaked out I was when she sneezed on me. I almost ran out of the store screaming.

[siligut]

15. Putting my hands into something that I am not sure of

Like picking up other peoples trash off the street (teh slobs). As Heidi said, I am not Howard Hughes type germaphobic, but I do go through a fair number of non-latex gloves.

[driver8]

16. Cockroaches. n/t

[Bucky]

26. Yuck. Especially when they fly at my face and I squeal like a little girl.

It's my kryptonite.

[Cali_Democrat]

31. Agreed

I don't mind spiders, reptiles, or most other creatures..

But cockroaches are truly disgusting. All wet and slimy looking with thick hairs on their legs. They run fast as hell also.

Plus they can fricken fly sometimes!

[AmandaMae]

17. Dry hands touching paper. Awful for some reason.

[LynneSin]

18. I can't stand newspaper print and what's worse - my mother made me deliver newspaper!

My brother had a paper route and when he was sick or had afterschool activities I was stuck with delivery the paper. Which sucked because by the time he hit high school he was doing after school activities all the time and I was stuck delivery that nasty shit.

[soleiri]

19. I love my children

I'm completely devoted to my sons.

However,

at night, after I've fallen asleep, if for some reason they wake up and need something, they will stand at the side of my bed and not say anything.

They just stand there until I wake up and inevitably scream in horror.

Knock first!

[PassingFair]

23. My youngest daughter used to do that. One night, I felt her presence...

at the side of the bed and asked her what
she wanted...she was about 2 years old...

She said, "I'm wet, I'm wet"...I thought she
had wet the bed, but when I flicked on the light,
I saw she was COVERED in blood, from her head to her
footie pajamas.

It was a whopper nosebleed, but it scared the
CRAP out of me. I still get a headache when I
think about it.

She still has nosebleeds frequently....

[soleiri]

45. Holy crap

That would give me nightmares for years.

[Brickbat]

24. Oh God, I hate that. Freaks the crap out of me.

[Mad_Dem_X]

54. LOL! I used to do that as a kid

I was scared of the dark and had trouble sleeping. So, I'd go down the hall to my parents' room and stand beside my mother's side of the bed. I was afraid to wake her up, so I just stood there until she opened her eyes and noticed me.

Yes, I was a strange child.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

20. THIS photo of BRITNEY that was posted on TMZ this morning.

Britney Spears -- The Quest for the Little Green Man

12/28/2010 6:00 AM PST by TMZ Staff



http://www.tmz.com/2010/12/28/britney-spears-the-quest-for-the-little-green-man-photo-nose-pick/

[LynneSin]

21. You know it's not like she's eating it

Sometimes you have an itch that can't be solved without a finger.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

22. Yeah, but in that photo she looks like she has an itchy CEREBELLUM

I remember Jenny McCarthy once said that men like a woman who farts, belches, and picks her nose.

Some men.

Not ALL men.

:eyes:

[GoCubsGo]

25. Other people's dirty clothes.

Especially sweaty gym clothes. I don't like the cheap wood spoons or popsicle sticks, either.

[Tyrs WolfDaemon]

27. The first cut/poke into the skin...

Like a shot or IV. I used to give myself shots for my migraines and I had these little needles (5/8in or so) and big ones (~1in) and it was always that first poke. Also the first cut - in high school my friends and I would stay up to watch surgery's on TLC. I had to look away for that first little cut with the scalpel. After that, no problem whereas some of my friends would.

There was also a commercial when I was younger that had a Thanksgiving turkey (uncooked) jump off the counter and run down the home's hallway. It used to just freak me out. Funny thing is that I have seen a new commercial (I think it is for chicken broth) that has the same thing happen but in the store and that commercial is funny. I don't know why it used to bother me.

[mike_c]

28. crunchy snow....

That creaking noise underfoot makes my skin crawl, literally. It's one of the few things that really pushes my buttons. Luckily, it hardly ever snows where I live, and even if it did, it wouldn't be dry enough to creak underfoot.

[astral]

63. you just reminded me, I **like** crunchy snow. . .

It's nummy to hear that crunching sound with every step you take.

Up here, we hear a "crunching" noise, not a "creaking" noise.

I don't suppose I'd like creaky snow, either.

Maybe it's your boots . . . .

[Auggie]

29. Prime Rib

[frogmarch]

30. Chest hair being wiped onto

a cloth in that one commercial for a hair removal cream. :puke:

That and stepping in dog poop. Stepping in horse or cow poop doesn't bother me much.

[hippywife]

32. Dolls.

You know the ones...life-like. I think I've seen too many creepy movies where the dolls were the ones causing the terror.

[Connie_Corleone]

33. styrofoam.

:scared:

[Mad_Dem_X]

55. The sound of a styrofoam cooler when you open it

That squeaking noise!

[BrendaBrick]

34. Stepping out of the shower..........

unto a bath mat I THOUGHT to be clean and dry!

[The empressof all]

35. This....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwGFalTRHDA&feature=related


and they even do it with cats

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I447ZxUKjYI&feature=related

[Duer 157099]

36. Gritty food

I cannot STAND even one tiny little piece of anything gritty, such as sand, in my food. Just watching the process of oysters or clams being opened and the shell shedding pieces of grit makes me sure I'll never eat them. Even scallops have grit! Holy cow, how can people eat this stuff?? I can't eat leeks if there's even the possibility of one grain of sand sneaking by. Same with some other leafy greens. Same with egg shell.

Grosses me out.

[pink-o]

37. Mayonnaise and cottage cheese.

Revolting substances, both of 'em. Way to destroy a brilliant sandwich, slathering it with white glop. And I'm old enough to remember Jello Molds with cottage cheese encased inside them. That, my friends, is picnic food in HELL.

I'm also not a fan of sour cream, so maybe it's just the gelatinous white substance of it all--except that I love plain yogurt so much it makes up for hating the rest. Yogurt on fresh fruit with nuts, coconut and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey will get me out of bed every morning.

[Lady President]

38. Miniature versions of big animals

Miniature versions of big animals creep me out. I don't like Shetland sheepdogs at all because they should be full size collies. I don't like those cats with the little legs. But, by far the worst are those miniature horses-- freak me out!

(And yes, I know that shetland sheepdogs and collies aren't the same breed, but they look like it!)

[femmocrat]

39. I can't stand to see a bug get squashed.

I pick it up with a paper towel and release it outdoors. I also can't stand to see a worm--- which is probably odd for a gardener.

[Kali]

40. soggy bread

EEWWW EEWWW EEEWWWWW!!! Just GROSSES me right OUT

:scared: :puke:

[MilesColtrane]

59. Interesting

I know somebody who shares this aversion with you.

You can't even TALK about soggy bread in her presence.

[applegrove]

41. People who are so controlling they like to manipulate large groups of people. I don't care

if they are psychopathic or if they think they are benevolent nurturers. I cringe at the thought of either one.

[BlueIris]

74. Self-delete.

OOps.

[Aristus]

42. I worked in a bookstore once long ago, and nothing in retail is quite as creepy as

receiving from a customer a handful of warm, sweaty cash.

[LynneSin]

48. So if I said I was going to give you $1,000,000 but it was all warm sweaty cash...

would you say no.

BTW condition of receiving this money - you have to touch it all

[Aristus]

60. Of course, I wouldn't say no. But the customers were giving me

$25 here, or $6.75 there, or whatever, and I didn't even get to keep it. It belonged to the store.

Every person has his price, and for me, touching warm, sweaty cash costs $1,000,000.00

B-)

[LynneSin]

66. Ok what if I was only giving you $10k in warm, sweaty cash - all yours tax free

:shrug:

[Aristus]

70. It's too late to try to negotiate down...

:P

I already agreed to $1,000,000.

The manner in which the cash becomes warm and sweaty is negotiable, though... :evilgrin:

[suninvited]

52. I actually had a woman reach into her bra one very hot night

pull money from there and hand me wet bills.

Money covered in tit sweat???

The WORST !!

[midnight armadillo]

43. cockroaches

especially hissing ones.

[dembotoz]

46. people eating smelt

[hobbit709]

47. What about sardines?

Pretty much the same thing.

[dembotoz]

49. sadines can be avoided--smelt was presented as actual food-deep fried i did not know what they were

[LeftinOH]

50. People with bushy nose hair. Fer cryin' out loud.. get in there and take care of business!!

[kimi]

51. The sound of people eating

Not me so much. But others - who chew, smack, swallow, chomp or drink loudly. I can dearly love whoever it is, but I have to get up and leave.

And I go along with cockroaches too. Also, lots of ants, all together moving. One or two aren't bad, but a whole swarm of 'em? - ooo ick ahh!

[Mad_Dem_X]

53. Caterpillars.

They're just so...ugly and creepy. :scared:

[Kali]

58. I thought I was the only one!

:hi:

only they aren't just creepy to me - they engender a full out, run away screaming, panic attack:scared: :scared: :scared:

[amyrose2712]

56. Cold, wet food in the sink..only an American would

be disgusted with food. Even like cold gravy gives me the heaves.

[driver8]

57. That drives me crazy, too.

I can't stand to have food in the sink!

[DeadEyeDyck]

61. Clowns

ever since IT, clowns give me the willies.

[Tikki]

79. Lots of Pennywise depictions here...

http://www.stephenkingshop.com/covers/It.htm

ENJOY;)

Tikki

[AsahinaKimi]

62. Clowns! Who came up with this concept??

eww

[sarge43]

64. Republicans n/t

[Odin2005]

65. Digital clocks flashing "12:00" after a power outage.

[LynneSin]

67. Put a fresh battery in the damn clock!

Both my alarm clocks have battery backup so when power comes back they hold their time

Problem solved!

[pinboy3niner]

68. MiddleFingerMom

When he finds a new butt-hosting service, we're really going to be in for it!

:evilgrin:

[VeryLibGal]

71. Peanut butter and banana sandwiches, GOP in control, Chuck Norris talking politics,

Ted Nugent and Sarah Palin Pres/V Pres ticket.

[mulsh]

72. The TV show "Intervention"

and people, including myself, who watch it.

it trivializes very serious problems. I spent about 5 years working as a Drug and Alcohol counselor, helping people get into rehab, arranging and participating in interventions. watching so many addicts fail miserably at recovery. many of them are now dead.

this show reminds me of why I got out of that world and brings back the stress and pain of many cases. The show is somewhat mesmerizing.

[valerief]

73. Wet trash on the street and curb. Ugh!!!! nt

[BlueIris]

75. Being alone in large buildings at night.

Doesn't matter if they're old or modern. Creeps me the hell out.

[Dash87]

76. Old ones are worse, or ones with semi-broken flourescent lights

..... BOO! :evilgrin:

[Tikki]

77. When I walk into someones home and they have that...

mellow, background type of music on throughout the house. Many put
the music just below conversation level.

I know it's a person's right to do as they please in their home...
but, it always creeps me out.

Tikki

[SPKrazy]

78. I'm with the clowns people here

they creeeeeeeeeeeeeep me out




THEY ARE ALL EVIL!!!!!!!!!!
