Things that give you the willies

[Isshebeingserious]

Inspired by another thread, what are things that give you the willies?

My biggest one is houseboats.

desperately hoping other people get the willies too

The idea of quicksand. Sometimes have nightmares about it. Ditto loads of teeth falling out.
Any animal that makes sudden darting movements - rats, mice, frogs etc.
People standing very still for long periods with their backs to you. Because of scary films/zombie films etc.
Busy places when they are eerily deserted.

@DsHathawayGivesMeFannyGsllops I did see the dolphin thread but I'd blocked it did I really know they're bastards..I really don't want to think about it. The good thing is they can't get on land so if I keep away from the sea I should be ok.( Unless they evolve)

Oh, and- things scraping against the ice of the freezer when you pull them out makes me want to scream.

Beans. Baked beans. They are disgusting; the devil's jizz
Thank god it's not just me. Everyone seems to love them.
Also though, wrists and the inside of feet make me sick

@DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops
I loved the “dolphins are bastards” thread

I’m another one for deep open water - no idea what could be lurking in there. Thought I was the only one. Can’t believe there are so many of us!!!!!

I'm glad it's not just me with feathers.

I also refuse to eat baked beans or generally be near them. They're gross and always come in huge quantities. Make me heave.

Oh if we're going there, then Marmite. WTF is it, thats not yeast. I know what yeast looks like, I bake bread.

The thought of biting into cotton wool or one of those old-fashioned blackboard rubbers.

Ella- I knew someone who's little girl kept having nightmares about the man in the cupboard. Her Dad got sick of one nightmare too many and he opened the door to prove no one was there only to find the gardener inside the cupboard.

The little bit of congealed condiment around the top of the bottle/jar 🤢

agirlhasnonameX - you're not alone! Wrists & insides of feet are creepy. The thought of having my pulse taken has made me go faint before.

@Rememory I really feel like you can't just casually comment with that, what on earth happened?! Why was he there?

Clowns
Eyeballs
Teeth
Hair in the plughole, even though I generate most of it
Holes grouped together
A close up view of a strawberry (saw one where it was starting to sprout and nearly threw up)
The sound of feet or hands rubbed on carpet
Those big fat rolls of cotton wool - not cotton wool balls - squeaky and horribly shudder-inducing
Things looming; there's a big depot along the M25 which when we go past in twilight just suddenly is there filling the horizon. I remember something similar with a Dam in Wales, many years ago.
I also don't like the small pylons that have red lights on the top (I don't mind the regular ones strewn across the countryside at large).

When the boney bits on the inside the of your ankles touch - if you don't know what I mean I dare you to try it.

Dead goldfish floating half bent on the top of the water. Eurgh.

Crunching on a rogue piece of shell when eating an egg sandwich.

Similarly crunching on a grain of sand that’s somehow got into your mouth on the beach

Rodents, string vests, dead animals and birds.

Oh yes. Swimming pool grates.

@rememory please explain or I won't sleep!

Empty swimming pools

Abandoned buildings. We used to live near an old hospital that hasn't been used since 2001. It still has some hospital beds and equipment in it. Gives me the creeps.

We now live not far away from an abandoned theme park which also gives me the creeps.

Stairs with no backs to them, I have an irrational fear I’ll fall through them..
Wet wool, specifically pulling wet gloves off with teeth 😬

@DsHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops please can you link to the dolphins are bastards thread so I can show DH. He hates them!

Gravy on mash.
Crumbs in the butter.
Teabags in the sink.
Someone showing you the sole of a shoe when they cross their foot over their knee.
Manspreading.
Strong perfume.

They didn't find out, he said he just liked looking at her. It was in another country and he ended up being arrested and chucked out. God knows if he'd have done anything to her but the family were all traumatised.

Cliffs and edges here too....always think I'm going to fling myself over it! Another is having one wet hand and one dry hand....just can't do it...makes me shudder!

Pelvic floor exercises. They made me feel incredibly sick, tense and emotionally overwhelmed for some reason

Oh my god. Yes. This. I thought it was just me!

Smear tests too. Can’t do those either.

Hotel corridors that look exactly the same on every floor and that look seemingly endless.

Just remembering the feeling of after dinner on a Sunday before I had to go back to school on a Monday - the smell of gravy and boiled veg and roast meet now mixed in with fairy liquid and multi purpose cleaning where the sides had been washed down after dinner.

Seeing hair, hair bobbles, bugs etc in the filters in swimming pools and stepping on swimming pool grids in bare feet.
