What gets you?
Spiders. Of all sorts. Any sort. The browner the better. I freak the fuck out.
okay so
my house is covered in spiders basically the moment the snow thaws
i don't kill the house centipedes i find because they EAT a million of these motherfuckers and it's never enough, that's how bad the problem is
they get all over the cars, too
so one night i got in my car to do an errand
errand finishes and i go and get back in my car and i'm about to close the door when i see a spider just hanging out inches from my head all "sup"
i'm like fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck dat
so i try to kinda casually puff some air at him, maybe kinda blow him out of the car
he instead falls down and onto my pant leg
next thing i know i'm a few feet away from my car and i'm frantically brushing at my pant legs
then i see the spider on the ground
cue me stomping it repeatedly while muttering "die you fucking shit fucking cockfuck shit fuck fuck shit"
when the spider is no longer even visible, i look around and i see some woman staring at me
i lift my arms and yell "WHAT"
and get back in my car and leave
fuck spiders

What I want to know is this, "What scares you?" I love going to the haunted houses, been doing that for years, but, the in your face with the crap doesn't scare me in the least. Its mainly what you cannot see, the darkness, a cold breeze, a dimly lit room, with a WTF is over there. Being the last one in line at a haunted house, going through the woods outside, and hearing something behind you, my pace suddenly quickens. :P What gets you?
Scorpions. I'm absolutely
terrified of those creatures. Big spiders and centipedes creep me out as well, but it's scorpions that take the cake.
Something that I find irresistibly attractive but scary at the same time are places that are reputedly haunted. I'm open to the idea that there may be something else out there, it fascinates me, and I would be up for exploring such places with others, but the thought of being there alone, and possibly encountering something, sends shivers down my spine. Fear of the unknown I guess....

Yup, alone in the dark, that's up there for me as well. Azaran, most the time when people do explore places like that, you're never alone. Especially a really old decaying place, building structure, etc, that's dangerous in itself right there. I'd never go alone anyway, whats the fun in that? Experiences like that are best shared.
I will say this about scorpions, I'm not scared of them, I just don't wanna get stung by one of those. I stayed at a friends cottage in a few years ago, down in south texas. In my bedroom, at night, I turn on the lights, and what do I see crawling across the floor, and he takes off a bit faster when the light goes on? A damn scorpion, I jump on the bed, bend down to grab my shoe and I whaled on him. Bastard. I had to, he was making a bee-line to go under my bed. Creep.

You'd be hard pressed to get stung by a scorpion, I've probly found more than 20 + in my house over the years (live right on the edge of bushland), never even been close to being stung.
in fact I wouldnt be suprised if there were 20 scorpions in the house RIGHT NOW
Azaran on 2/11/2011 at 04:46
Holy shit guys...:o
If there was a single one in my building, I would pack my bags and check into a motel asap.
I've been afraid of them since I was a kid. I don't remember exactly how it began, but I suspect it was my great-grandmother telling me back then how she was once stung by one, and it was the most brutal excruciating pain she even experienced, worse than breaking your leg.

lol'd. Lovin' that. Reacting to an immediate 'danger' that no one else can see, only to realize you've been observed behaving like a lunatic. Happened to me more than a few times, though usually because I'm being harrassed by one of those agressive types of bees (hornets?) (the kind that hangs around garbage cans in the fall). I'm highly allergic to bee stings, so the ensuing dance of avoidance with one of those things probably looks quite insane to an uninformed bystander.

We call those news bees, those big yellow noisey ones that like to crawl in coke cans. They aren't quick to sting though as I've nearly swallowed one and spit it out only to see it fly away. Spiders don't get to me much, I've picked up a stone and had a widow crawl toward my hand on it and dropped it quick, but mostly not. And I've been swimming with snakes, not that I don't get out when I find I am mind you. I've told the hundreds of moccasins story right?
What gets me is claustrophobia. Remember the scene in "Missing" where he wakes inside a coffin? I can't breath just watching that. I fight it every chance I get like caving and such but I still have half my mind on an earthquake trapping me and am shallow of breath. One of the rooms at a haunted house in Killen Alabama had a hallway which catered to my fear. The entrance was like two giant black ass cheeks of fabric held together by constant air pressure and you had to squeeze yourself between them for about 20 feet. You could breathe the whole time but for folks like me it was rough. On the other side you are born a poor black child.
