I know we've talked about phobias on occasion, but I want to know what you do when you see that "thing" that gets under your skin.
I was minding my own business, surfing, I mean working and I heard a co-worker call her daughter's name several times (she was outside on break). I thought something was wrong, so I peeked over my monitor to see her daughter standing on the curb, facing the street, body rigid.
For a split second I was concerned, but then I saw a reflection in the window that let me know exactly what was going on. This child has a phobia of "little people" and one was about to walk past. I'm sorry, I got a cramp in my stomach from laughing so hard. My co-worker had previously told me about this phobia, but until I saw it in action...
My son told me that my dad screamed while driving down the street because he saw a snake in the road. (I love my dad, but snakes turn him into a ...never mind, LOL).
Now I, myself? I'll turn my head when I see a clown. I'll run my fat ass out the door if I see any kind of rodent (UGGGGGGGGGGH rememberin' the bat) and OH MY GAWWWD if I see a possum, dead or alive, it's on! My kids always know if it's a dead possum we pass because I holler and then get chills up and down my spine til I shake it off.
What do you do when you come across something you hate?
I don't know what the woman in the video is watching, but that shit is FUNNNNNNNNYY!!!!
I have learned that I involuntarily scream when I hear extremely wack music lol. You may think I'm joking but I'm serious. If anyone has seen that episode of "The Simpsons" where Homer remembered finding the dead body as a child and he kept screaming, well that's what I sound like LOL. And it just happends, I don't do it intentionally
ReplyDeleteNow you ALREADY KNOW mine, but I'll reiterate...
ReplyDeleteCICADAS!!!! This is a SERIOUS phobia and I seriously thought about seeking HELP a few years ago when they were out really bad!!! I felt like a prisoner in my own home and that's not healthy, but it was just that serious...
CLOWNS!!! "Pennywise" did it for me and I'll NEVER look at them the same!!! I'm ready to FIGHT if one of them gets too close to me.
ANYTHING that has more legs than I do, bites, stings, hisses, crawls, has more than two eyes, can jump, run faster than me, has to walk on four legs, has fangs, fur and claws- I'm afraid of it.
I think that about sums it up...
I think my only thing is rodents or small rodent looking animals... I dont like rats, I cant stand ferrets and i dont like hampsters and or anything else that resembles them... otherwise Im good...
ReplyDeleteand the kid being afraid of little poeple is hilarious... lmaooooo
I have the worst phobia to frogs, snakes and large bodies of water. Frogs...i will not go near. I've put a whole in my foot running from a frog.
ReplyDeleteSnakes...ioknow...but tis something about them...that makes my skin crawl. I use to see them all the time growing up in our yard. I grew up in a suburban neighborhood surrounded by woods. We'd find snakes on the back porch, in the windows on the front porch. My neighbor even found one in her toilet. *shaking in disgust*.
Until recently, I wouldn't get on boats. I hate being ON the water...but love being near it.
GIRL AMEN...and AMEN. Terribly afraid of bees and wasps. I'm highly allergic...so they frighten me.
ReplyDeleteSo question...are dogs and cats included in this?
Did somebody say frogs.... lol
ReplyDeletePanky...you gone make me hurt you! *mumblin* Heffa. See if i call yo ass back!
ReplyDeleteAre we friends again... Im sorry... you know it was the bad side of me that did that... lol This otta make things right again...
ReplyDeleteI would pay $5 to hear you scream. CTFU
ReplyDeleteGirl, BYE!!! I already knew, LOL.
ReplyDelete*imagining you with the umbrella*
If they AFTER me, yep!!! *lol*
ReplyDeleteActually, I LOVE dogs!!!... unless they are SALIVATING over my thigh, looking like it wants me for LUNCH *ROFL* I'm not really a "cat" person, but there's this one cat in my complex that seems to find his "spot" in front of my door all the time. I let SHIM (since I don't know if it's MALE or FEMALE) in and gave it some milk a couple of times, but I refuse to keep it as a pet. Now if it were a DOG, SHIM would be in my house right now!!!
pffft! Do you know after proving to you in the store that i only had one piece of cheesecake....i didn't even eat it. It was the guilt that made it sit in the fridge (sighs).
ReplyDeleteand NO...we are NOT friends again! How dare you offer me cheese cake and know i'm dieting! HMMPH Evil heffa.
*rolling my eyes at gi gi and leaving dee's page in disgust!*
If they AFTER me, yep!!! *lol*

Hell, EVERYBODY should know mine by now!!! I've TALKED about them enough in blogs!!! *lol*
ReplyDeleteI hate to tell you this...but you are HIS pet. Now that you've given him milk...it will come back. That's how the cat i had got me. I let him in one day...fed him...and he kept coming back. He'd come in during the morning....and at night when i got home....he'd go out. I found out he belonged to a neighbor...who gave him to me. ...sigh i miss him. He was named Red...and was mean as hell at times. Kinda like someone else named Red i know.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness... I did forget the lengths you went thru yesterday... Ok, my bad... Imma take the cake back and um we just gone eat some healthy stuff... and ummmm can you just accept my apology so we can move on... cuz I know Im gone get hit over the freaking head if I say Im sorry one mo time... lol
ReplyDeleteohhhhhhhh it is on now woman... it is on for real... You just wait til I can think of a good comeback to that... lol
ReplyDeleteI know a couple of folk named Red....who says i was talking about YOU? *rolling eyes*
ReplyDeleteI only have a few phobias, but the main one is bees and I RUN when I see a bee (or anything flying that I can't tell if its a bee or not)
ReplyDeleteNaw see... the LAST time I let SHIM in, I went to the bathroom and when I came out it was PARLAYING on my dining room furniture!!! I told my co-worker I wasn't letting it in anymore...
ReplyDeleteBut I'm a WUSS though, so shim will probably come in again. *smile*
You're real good... real good... lol
ReplyDeleteSeeing operations on tv, my friend calls me a wimp but I dont like seeing that shit.
ReplyDeleteI hate clowns, too. They seriously give me the heebity jeebities.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big city girl, and I have a hard time with man-made structures. Things like bridges (especially big ones) really big overpasses where you feel like you are on a doggone airplane, and buildings with more than about 4 floors, I get nervous.
But don't cicadas only come out like once every 17 years
ReplyDeleteYEP- and about 2-3 years ago the ALARM CLOCK they must have down in the ground to notify them it's been 17 years went off and ALL they asses were out TERRORIZING ME!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was REALLY bad... I've always been scared of bugs, but it became a full blown PHOBIA where CICADAS were comcerned when I couldn't leave my house because they were EVERYWHERE on my apartment stairs!!! One hit me in the face (which started it ALL off), I sat in my car for HOURS one night because one was on the steps that lead to my apartment door, I was late to WORK one day because TWO of them were on my apartment stairs when I opened my door to leave..... I mean it was REALLY bad!!! It was FUNNY at first, but then when I felt like a prisoner in my own home, it became UNfunny REAL fast!!!
And amen again... I don't mess with much that has more legs than I do... or wings.. OR BOTH *(remembering that huge roach in my old apartment FLYING at me)...
ReplyDeleteHell I aint shamed to say I spent two nights sitting on the top/back of my sofa at the height of the mouse issues @ the Hideout.
Not all of them... some species have two to five year cycles, some have 13, 15, or 17 yr. cycles. There were cicadas every summer in my part of the world growing up.
ReplyDeleteWOW
ReplyDeleteI'm just link Monk...rodents, snakes, people with bad breath, people too damn ugly to look at, meat eating animals such as the one in your background, broke-ass somebodies who always manage to come out ot the wood work on payday, and the list goes on.
ReplyDeleteYet you're a world traveler. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteClowns.. I have an irrational fear of clowns ok ?
ReplyDeleteI get tense, nervous, and hopw they dont approach me. i'll even warn them if they head towards me..
male of female.. i'll straight hook off on a clown if they dont listen..
My guy! ^5
ReplyDeleteME TOO!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm in tears over this video!
ReplyDeleteMy fears: creepy crawlys and pit bulls
enuff said
i dont know what it is, but dogs just make me barbaric.. im up for fighting them.. I have a few bite marks to show for it... jeez..
ReplyDeleteI knew there was a name for clown phobia, its called Coulrophobia. The complete list is very interesting. To think that some people have fears of looking up, or clocks, or shellfish....wow.

Oh, and Dee actin' all innocent about what that woman in the video is looking at....uh huh. I got a long bridge that I don't like to cross that I'll sell you if you believe that one.
ReplyDelete;-)
ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI do not like certain bugs, ones that are big and fly freak me out. The only other thing that completely grosses me out is ANIMATED FOOD. Lawrd it makes me nauseous, and I get really freaked out. And when it is eating another FOOD IM GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I meant stomach wrenchin and urrything..... Somma yall done heard bout this before.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking it's the nasty one where the woman shat's in a cup and they lick it like an ice cream cone. I don't know, but the reaction is priceless!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen it, but I've heard about it...yeah, I think that's the one. The reaction videos are all over youtube. Even Joe Rogan from Fear Factor got quesy over it.
ReplyDeleteSame here. They don't bother me. Meant nothing more than the sounds of summer.
ReplyDeleteI can't really think of anything. If any of you fraidy cats are interested, I have a phobia listing attached to this post. http://msmo72.multiply.com/journal/item/31/I_Dont_Like_Spiders_Snakes
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid if wedding rings.
ReplyDeleteYou already know what I say about that.
