Title say it all. What scares the crap out of you?

i do, sometimes i think some scary thoughts.

EDIT: and those maggots that could get into your freezer if it's defrosted for over a week...*shudders*

Dentists.

I hold the hypothesis that reincarnation is true and that all dentists are reincarnations of Inquisition torturers and Puritan witch hunters.

Moving. As you would have guessed from my other thread.

And Asian women that drive 4WDs

Room 101.

Room 101.

The t.v. show? Yeah, it is kinda crummy. :D

Werewolves.

I don't believe in them, I'm just afraid of them. Which makes for really annoying internal conversations when I'm huffing it home double time at night because it's a full moon and some asshole dog behind a fence so much as snorted.

"Dude, what're running from?"

Shut the fuck up.

"No, seriously, why we walkin' so fast? I wanna know."

Seriously, go to hell.

"You think the labradoodle behind that fence is gonna bite you?"

Yes. That's it. Afraid of the labradoodle. Looked rabid. You happy?

"Yeah...cause it's not because you thought that because of the lunar cycle some guy had actually changed into a man wolf and is now hunting you down, right? Because that would be stupid. Right? It's a potentially rabid labradoodle that you didn't see behind a fence twice as tall as you."

I fucking hate you, me.

:Dlol.

Yeah, there was. It's mentioned at the top of your link there. People complaining about stuff in an occasionally humorous way.

For me the one thing that really scares me is (unintentionally of course) hurting people I love. Well, even hurting people in general does scare me.

What, you never played football as a kid? :D That would've cured you.

we have nothing to fear but the negative kharma of our collective mackiavellianism, which, in a few days, will be mostly, for the next few years, just a bad taste in my memory of the last few. (that is, where i live, in america, different places may have different experiences as has happened in the past as well, the whole world isn't quite in lockstep, and lets hope it never is)

Spiders... and being burned.

I did a bit but I never liked it. But when I mean hurting people, it's seriously hurting them, not something minor.

Republicans.

I'm not joking, and I'm not trolling. I am completely serious.

Heights. I am completely acrophobic. I have issues getting onto stepladders!

You can imagine just how much fun I have going home to the US or coming back to Japan.

So, emotionally then, right? I've seen some pretty horrific football injuries, but rarely anything that causes psychological torment, aside from loss of scholarships resulting in loss of a future. That can hurt on an emotional level, I'm sure.

Emotionally or physically, but I never saw any horrific football injuries... well, I'm french, football is soccer for us, not US football ;) And anyway I never played much those kind of sports, I don't like them.

The ability of the human being to be cruel and kill for absolutely no reason at all.

So, those Halloween masks of Nixon and Bush give you a genuine scare, then? Cool. :D

The future.

So, humans have fears. My race will find this information very useful indeed.

The future.

gimmie the future. (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=1rAr6ok0udo)

the familiar scares me more then the unknown, especially when it is adamantly thoughtless.

i mean, the unknown could be anything, only a very small portion of which is harmful. that percentage is MUCH higher among what is currently, dominantly, familiar.

this may not have always been, hopefully won't always be, and tends to reach its peak under tyrants, like those of the outgoing u.s. administration.

Beyond mild vertigo, I fear failure and mediocrity.

Is there actually a tv show about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_101 ? Kewl...

Ergh, I was watching a BBC special about where Room 101 was, and one of the people who made that show said she seriously regretted doing it, and making a joke out of the actual concept.

I think that means she thought it was shit.

Bees, wasps and hornets. Considering my high pain tolerance, it's really rather odd how girlish I am about being stung. *nod*

Nothing to fear but spell check itself.

Title say it all. What scares the crap out of you?

Losing a loved one. That scares me greatly.

You would post something so sweet, wouldn't you?

You would post something so sweet, wouldn't you?

Eh?

I'm afraid of...YOUR FACE!!!

Ghosts kind of scare me.

I honestly don't know if I have a fear response, as such. I think I'm wired slightly differently to most. Perhaps fear of being punished?

Spiders just spiders

I'm afraid of...YOUR FACE!!!
I've told you before, and I'll tell you again. The ugly person in the mirror is YOU, now quit trying to argue with him.

The fear that people aren't paying attention to you and your clownish projection of sociopathy?

What a treasure trove of vulnerabili- I mean, an interesting thread. Most interesting. Please, go on. For academic reasons of course. *scribbles*

Spiders, insects in general.
And... knives, I get scared when holding knives as I'm afraid I could hurt somebody.
I am completely serious here, I'd rather not accidentally get a knife in my stomach that cuts around in my internal organs and severs my arteries :/

(Not a joke.) Addition: girls, I keep blushing around them.

Afraid of knives? I love knives!

Afraid of knives? I love knives!

im afraid of this guy!

I don't fear anything. In the words of a great man:

I have nothing to lose, so what have I to fear?

That somewhere ... a duck is watching me.

Blood. Which sucks. I'm looking into ways to get that corrected. And this:http://synthesismagazine.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/eyes.jpg

That somewhere ... a duck is watching me.

why is a duck watching you?

Suffocating/drowning, and also the thought that if Hell exists, I'm headed there.

Millipedes.

Haven't seen you around here in ages. :)

Terrorist Goats.

A third Dubya term.

Millipedes.

Why millipedes? The worst thing that can happen is that you'll be stupid enough to rub one on your eye and, possibly, suffer impair your eyesight. Now centipedes, those bastards are just mean. (Especially the fucking big ones, some of which can exceed one foot in length (http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/attachment.php?attachmentid=69008&stc=1&d=1202246415)). Never trust anything that eats it's own legs on a regular basis, as my granddad used to say.

I don't know actually. When I was younger I used to be afraid of floating alone in the middle of an ocean, but not anymore. I'd welcome it on now. Never been afraid of bugs and other critters. Heights and falling don't scare me either, although they should. Hell I can't even say nothing scares me, because if there is nothing then there is no me and therefore nothing to be scared of.

why is a duck watching you?
Because you're all philistines.

Eye surgery

That is the mystery.

It's only part duck.http://www.sfu.ca/sfunews/files/fall2007/cowduck.jpg

That is even more scary.

I fear the loss of hope.

Being totally alone.

bugs
heights. Not the heights, just the idea of falling from said heights.
Scientologists
deep water
I used to have a fear of not being wanted anymore. After years of being unwelcome and completely expendable, I've lost this fear.

That somewhere ... a duck is watching me.

Is it... an attack duck?

I fear being chased by wolves around a kitchen table while wearing socks on a newly waxed floor.

I fear having to tell my deepest fears to people

The point at which Talking to yourself becomes Schizophrenia...sometimes I think im on the threshold...

Your fear is wacky. Why would wolves be chasing you?

You see I have a nervous twitch in my trigger finger. So something bad may happen if you start popping balloons around me and I happen to be holding a weapon at the moment. ;)

No, it just means I throw my support behind what you are saying. Like a politician does.

You're going to kidnap their pups to sacrifice to Xenu? Why else would wolves chase people, you sick, sick Scientologistic Xenu-hugger. Go back to Xenuland.

I don't have to sacrifice to Xenu anymore. Xenu, Cthulu, Death, and I played poker last Thursday and I mopped up. They all have to sacrifice to me now.

Anpu wants to sacrifice your ass to his foot for having such a wacky fear and for playing with Xenu, the ultimate evil. The ultimate evil used to be the Satan and Osama Bin Hitler duo, but Xenu outeviled the fallen angel and genocidal RL troll. Now you know why car brakes are banned in Xenuland. Because Scientologists don't believe in brakes.

Xenu brought cash, and given that followers often are similar to their leaders, I figured he wasn't very smart. I was right.

Anything that moves via undulation. (i.e. caterpillars, worms, leeches)

Just don't ride in any car Xenu drives. Not only do Scientologists not believe in brakes, they don't believe in seat belts either.

i'd be more worried about Arty

okay, um thanks

Spiders. I fucking hate spiders. And I'm all out of bug spray. *Huddles in corner*

they ain't a patch on the creepies crawling all over your skin/hair/other restricted areas...seriously some of those tiny things look fucking evil...if anything spiders are a good thing, it means the area near you will have less flies about.

Horses!

Spiders are those tiny things, only larger. Much larger. Which is why I am-and you should be-afraid.

i ain't fighting no spiders for nobody.
then again you could always use masking tape over holes and small crooks in your walls and flooring to make sure no spiders will reach you.
and keep a lighter with deoderant can nearby.
and the fire alarm covered up if you're using it.

Sigged XD.

:hail:
thought for the day: don't burn spiders near a fire alarm:
quite embarrassing i'd imagine trying to explain to the fire service, "yeah sorry guys but the spiders were everywhere...the bastards".

The only centipedes I have had contact with are the common house centipede, and while they are profoundly creepy they also happen to feed on cockroaches. Hence, we have an uneasy truce.

Millipedes, however, are too fucking disturbing for words. I mean, why should they need TWO pairs of legs per body segment? Surely one pair is more than enough. They're up to something and it terrifies me.

...but millipedes are so cute and pettable...

EDIT: The lazy ones also make nice bracelets (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Giantmillipede.JPG).
You go right ahead and pet that thing, but don't come crying to me when you pull back a stump.

I'll be over here cuddling my tarantula. Or "Eight-legged gerbil" as I like to call it.

Oh, I'm afraid of being alone in the middle of an ocean.
... Just the thought of odd fishes and things swimming beneath me *Shudders*.

Wow, a bottle. Ain't seen one of you around these parts in quite some time...

Title say it all. What scares the crap out of you?
