Strange things that give you the heebie jeebies?

[doorframesatdawn]

Was chatting about this with some friends recently. Lighthearted!

I have an irrational fear of sunflowers. They're HUGE! I also go a bit cold when I drive past big industrial structures like cooling towers.

Anyone else get the jeebies over something strange?

Clusters of holes, but only organically made holes, like honeycomb or holes forming in plants. There us a name for it, can’t think of it now.

The tories!

Really long escalators in tube stations

Half off the week my blinds an curtains are closed all day simply because when I get up for work it's early and dark so not opening them then an when I come home its dark again, it's getting lighter now tho so my neighbours will be pleased that they will be opened again soon.

Bats, furry AND webbed, and that squeak. Bleugh!

Kangaroos, so muscley and strong! And the giant tail they bounce on to punch and kick.

When a loose strand of hair gets tangled on you in the bath, or accidentally gets in your mouth (blown in by wind etc) genuinely makes me shudder. Hairy drains 🤮 Hair on the floor of the hairdresser. Anything hair related really.

Oh yes, human hair, but in my case, in food. I immediately gag, I find it absolutely disgusting.

Trypophobia. There are quite a lot of us on this thread.

You don't see them as much but I remember them in the 70s

Like a cage

Those old fashioned clackety wooden escalators as well in underground

Mirrors in dark when alone

What springs to mind with this kind of thread

Is that alternative weirdly crazy 🤪 entertaining American TV series

💯 ways to die,

about the bizarre crazy or disturbing ways have met the Grim Reaper in untimely manner ect..

Did anybody watch that TV series back in the early 2000s then?

Men who loudly openly clear the throats of phylem mucus out and about in the street and spit this bodily gunk on the pavements..

Men who instead of blowing their nose 👃 when they need to,

Instead insist on blowing green big snot gunk out and about on street pavements...

Human hair clogged up in drains 🤢

The combo of fats grease clogged up with drains...

They turn to face the sun

Also, art deco anything. I can't appreciate the buildings or design at all.

I don't like big pylons and wind turbines etc, it's called megalophobia. Although don't Google!

I am yet another for belly buttons too. I get a bit reactive if mine is touched. An ex of mine, knowing this, tried to poke my belly button to wind me up. He was a professional wrestler. I had him on the floor in seconds, I don’t know where it came from.

The worst time was when I had a laparoscopy with non-dissolving stitches so I had to get them removed, and the nurse who was removing them also had a belly button fear. There was a lot of “oooohhhh”ing.

No but I did enjoy Dead Like Me. About grim reapers and crazy accidents.

The plug hole/drain thingy in the Ladybower reservoir makes my whole body go cold. I wish I hadn’t thought of it now.

Plus tomato ketchup, the smell and sight makes me recoil.

Me too. We live near that plug hole. It horrified me and l can’t say why < shudder>

The sound of people cracking their knuckles.

Sponges.. especially the big yellow ones that car washes use. Not for a million pounds would I touch one. Once my friend chased after me with one for a laugh and I actually cried my eyes out begging her to stop.

I love squeezing wet and dry sponges, scratching and tapping them. The car wash ones are good but I prefer smaller ones.

Some antiques and old China as well

The word comfy. Say comfortable or nothing.

stopppppp it, that gives me the fear
