Reactions

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!!!!
