Following on from stealths' spider thread i thought this would be pretty interesting.
Let me start the ball rolling with..
..
Deep Fat Fryers.
They scare the crap outta me and i dont know why. Maybe i got boiling oil poured on me in a past existance somewhere but i will not go near the things, nor have one in the house.
Big, Dark Windows
I don't like the idea of criminals peering in at me cooking my steak & tomatoes....'nuff said
Domestic Hot Water Boilers
there's just something inherently sinister about these things....don't you think?
-
[color=66ff00]Needles. The fact that I'm scared of something like that annoys me considerably. I've never really been able to get over it.

-
Bees I guess. One stang me when I was a kid - I DID accidentaly step on it though so no wonder. But sheesh it was an accident... I never saw the fella. So after that i have had a tiny fear for those buggers

I'm just gonna assume you live in a tent in the middle of a field.

I'm scared of spiders and heights up to a certain point. Umm, one thing that really makes me cringe though is when people run long fingernails down thick wooly carpet. Ick.

Dead bodies :shaking:
-
Spiders, nothing else bothers me.
-
Flesh is transitory and the mind dies with the body. So nothing scares me.
Granted, there are certain things that will make me run, but that's mostly my self-preservation instinct kicking in. Like I'll run if I see a car speeding towards me. Not scared of being hit though.

yeah right, mister tought guy.
-
Okay, big mofo dogs!
-
Some insects in large quantities (though increasingly less so), Rumsfeld, misfiring microwave hookups (hey, I might wanna have kids some day, ya know?), and all forms of utility bill.
-
i am scared of heights. ( and i live on the fifth floor:rolleyes: )
Spiders also creap me out.
And bees, i got stung in my stomach, my hand and my foot. both my foot and hand where swollen like hell.
-
Not trouble with insects. Never really been at height so I wouldn't know.
Large bodies of water (can't swim)
Simon from Lord of the Flies. A few weeks ago we were studying LoTF in English and doing it so much that it saturated my mind. One night I had a terrible nightmare where I was in some sort of dorm and was looking across a courtyard to another one. Looking back at me was Simon. Suddenly he started to move towards me and I was scared ****less. I then woke up.
-
oh, yeah, water scares me now that I think of it. sea, big lakes. I swim very well, but it's the fact I know there's a huge void under me, when I'm there, that freaks me out. I didn't feel great when i went to england on a ferry. Thinking of how far the ground actually was under me, with all that dark water inbetween... weird thing when you know heights won't scare me more than "if I bend over too much, my sunglasses might fall from my nose, i should be careful"...
I'm somehow scared by spiders, but only if taken by surprise. if I see a spider running on my arm I won't freak out. when I was small I was grabbing them with bare hands ( well, the fact that one day one of them did escape my grasp and ran in my shirt mostly explains why they scare me now ). Have no pb at all with insects.
hairy girls frightens me :D
Happy, doctor Freud?

or how about a grotesque fusion of both (the dream and the nightmare..not french and hairy gals, i mean ;7 )
-
Needles i'm only scared of that...i think...oh yeah for some reason i'm scared of seaweed maybe it's because of sharks, meh.
-
only thing I am scared of is 80-year old homosexual men.
And why did you ban Heretic?
-
Because he was a twit. Good riddance, I say.
-
And yet ZB's still here... :confused:
-
Only two things scare me.
One is male clowns. I don't know why. It's probably because they put on lipstick. Damn crossdressers... Not that there's anything wrong with that. :nervous:
-
:wtf:

What scares me is spiders, but only when they are large or crawling up my clothes without me noticing until it's on my shoulder or chest. :shaking:
-
i'm scared of water heaters too mainly because the pressure tank eeked and caused the water heater to spark and ingite a wash cloth under it because it leeked and all this at 10 pm filled the whole house with smoke had no running water for 2 days

How old are you, or rather how old were you when this happened? If you were/are a minor, then get the bastard arrested for that. That's f**king disgusting. If there's one thing I hate in this world, then it's peodophiles. F**ked up people like that should be locked away forever.
Back on-topic, things that scare me:
>Deep, clear water - God knows why, I'm a really good swimmer.
>Greedy bastard Americans who are trying to take over the world (e.g. Bush senior and his big business cronies) P.S. Don't turn this into a political thread please! :) They just worry me.
>Spending my whole life doing some godawful job that has no prospects and pays badly.
>Genetic modification technology. I just KNOW it's going to get out of hand, and unleash some uber-virus that kills everyone or something. (An exaggeration, but you know what I mean).

depends on your..persuasion, i suppose :p

I dont like big animals, ie large dogs, horses, bulls. They are irrational, and always look at me funny.

Everyone looks funny at you... You should think about buying a pair of pants :p
j/k
Hmm... what scares me? Drowning... Yeah, thats it. Not being able to find the surface, panic, water pours into your lungs, you suffocate, you slowly die...
Also, becoming a veggie after a stroke or sumthin' :shaking:
-

yup, you go alone in a bar and spend the whiole night there, alone, drinking your favorite drink, glass after glass, until you're kicked out. then you go back home and sleep.
happy life!
-
thats what i do most of the time though...just without the going out part...:nervous:

Hmmm..i am scared when i get uber drunk. If i am in that state i feel like i am gonna die, because the toilet doesn't want to be my best friend when i am too drunk! and all kinds of weird sh*t happens then. I once wanted to sit in a brown chair, but the dog was sleeping in it with his brown side up so i didn't see him and sat on it's head until i heard it beeping a few seconds later. Now that was scary.
Drunk can be fun sometimes, but to drunk aint funny.
I make no sence, i wil go away now.

Yes, :shaking:

i'm scared of dogs, and i'm sometimes scared of hightes, however, i don't mind being in an airplane. landing, on the other hand :nervous: .
i'm also kinda scared of letting my anger take control of me, it happened to me a lot when i was younger, and that didn't help me make friends.

Landing and lifting off are the best parts of the trip :D

it's wierd, taking of wasn't scary, neither was landing the first time ( Paris Charles De Gaulle, not much buildings onder the finall approach.) the second time it was above Schiphol, with a lot of houses under the final apporach, so that resulted in too much point of reference.
another thing, i'm getting scraed of the amount of posts here, it takes me hours to read the forum, and then i only read Hard Light, Art, Gen FS, SCP en FS modding.

or air pockets where the plane drops a few hunderd meters. I experienced one, when i went to the USA.

Those are great. Like a rollercoaster, cept' all the old people scream "we're gonna die!!"
:)
-
Anything with fangs/venom/stingers that are harmful to humans (resulting directly from a chance encounter with a hornet nest when I was little, and a yellow jacket nest a bit afterwards).
Heights that are above 6 stories.
Pretty much anything related to a hospital stay, or surgery, or most anything medical in nature. I just can't stand the thought of someone/something slicing me open and poking around with a metal rod...
Yeah, strokes, heart attacks, etc..
Drowning. And for that matter, being over a deep body of water (even though I can swim).
Death in general.
The military draft.
Never actually flown so I dunno how I'd feel.
Probably a few other things that I can't remember or think of at the moment.

Heh, I'm qualified to be a life guard. I'll save you :p
And death, nah, don't fear death as long as its in a humane way. Death is a fact and in facts I believe.
-
hah, if i got drafted i'd go terrorist and blow things up just to be difficult.
Not that with getting shot at by your own side makes it too much difference

Damn, you manage to get kicked out of your own place when youre alone? That must be a new record or something.
-
not really "scared" of anything in this sense; I suppose the closest things would be talking to people in person and not having my equations work out as I expect them to.
And death, nah, don't fear death as long as its in a humane way. Death is a fact and in facts I believe.
but inhumane death is also a fact too. :p :D

scared of that too
only snaped twice so far but it scared the **** outa me what i did
when i was 10 i tossed a classmate thru whole class against the wall no injurys thou
then once again at age 14 or 15 cant remeber right i broke 2 ribs of my father and tossed my mother thru the room against a chair and that went with my mother agains the coffeemachine coffemachine fell to the floor chair totaly ruined but mom ok thankfuly
thats why i now prefer to be a coward
-
High places I can fall off of. I don`t care about going up in a plane or anything like that and I can stand any building that has a railing up but I hate the idea of falling off.
-
That's quite reasonable.
I don't really know if any fears that I might have, as I've never really come accross much to trigger them.
-
I truly am scared of nothing.
Except maybe being stripped naked and paraded infront of my Technology class. God, I hated high-school. So much stuff seemed like a good idea at the time, but later became hideously stupid. Worst thing is, I never did get paid.
-
We think so much alike that it is quite eerie.
-
We really don't.
I just had a half-hour booze-fuelled discussion on why everyone whose genetics show a predisposition towards developing cancer should be amassed together and genocided for the greater good of all mankind then burried in a petrol-filled mass-grave.
Then I extended my ideas to AIDS, TB and eventually the common cold.
Sufficed to say, if I ever get any power, everyone is ****ed.

Goos job you don't live in States - Texas'd have you for governer in a flash :yes:

So it's exactly like a rollercoaster.
Military draft would be sh1t yes. I can't imagine making 1000 pushups (and lunch, afternoon tea, supper, midnight and another 1000 just because) as morning exercise. I'm exhausted after 400 already.
I'm not afraid of heights, definately not.
Losing both arms, like that Iraqi child would be pretty gruesome.
-
I view the loss of a limb as an opportunity to sign up for cybernetic experimentation programs.
Just think, by losing an arm, you could be the only kid on the block capable of crushing a mans skull with your fingers while a whisk extends from your palm and liquifies his brains.
-
Two things scare me.
Spiders. (nuff said)
Laying flat on you're stomach and waiting for the last second to roll out of the way from the tracks of a moving tank coming right towards you. You have NO IDEA how scary that is... And what a rush afterwards. but I'll never do it again... Hell no...
:shaking:

If you have the occasion to, I suggest you read the Ghost in the Shell manga, especially the part where they explain why having "just" a cybernetic arm might be troublesome :D
-
Pfff.
I'll take a titanium-crushing super-arm with all its kinks and flaws over a regular paper-crushing arm any day.
Although having such a fiercely powerful appendage would take a while to get used to. But I've got experience.
*runs*
-
You might want to. If only because you tipping over every five seconds might present a bit of a damper for your super crushing powers.

the page I'm refering about is how cool it is to have that arm that can, for exemple, lift up so heavy things it will justbe ripped of your body coz this one can't resist the stress of such a thing :)
