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

Victorian toys, so forbidding and creepy....

But my main one is metal in water, especially the sea. So pier legs ( shudder) and rusty anchors ( mega shudder).
It’s odd because I love swimming.

venus thanks! Is it debilitating or fun?

Be very interesting for you to go on a baby name thread.

venus is it colour, taste and smell? Does banana taste of bananas?

Woodchippers. Oh bloody hell, just the word makes me see a body going through one. Accidentally or intentionally thrown through.

Pelicans

Birds nests. Shudder.

The sound of chainsaws or hedge trimmers. I have to cross the road if someone is trimming the hedge or turn round completely if a chainsaw.
Paper towel used to wrap or hold food. Ditto those blue check cloths chefs seem to use to drain fried stuff on.

Thinking about my veins

Pushing down my cuticles

Japanese knotweed

Bending a finger nail backwards, doesnt happen often but when it does, it replays randomly in my mind for weeks after the event. Its giving me the fear now just thinking about having to bend the nail back into place

Words that end in ‘nge’ e.g gunge, minge

Hair in plug holes. Actually just generally hairballs in public places, especially black hair, makes me gag

Railway tracks.
Tall cranes especially walking past them.
Level crossings.

Waterfalls. Rivers in spate. Offal. Insects - and roaches are the worst. Dirty fingernails. Dog poo bags hung on trees.

Cotton wool especially the balls... arghh the squeak.
Mohair jumpers, same feeling.
People being too close behind me.

I'm glad to find other folk who can't stand the creatures of the deep! On holiday this summer there wasn't much to do where we were so I reluctantly agreed that we could take DS to the aquarium. Regretted that within about 5 seconds.

Fungus, mushrooms of any kind. Toadstools and those things growing on trees make me feel sick.

DH can't look at landmass under water on Google Earth. He looked at Mont St Michel once and put his ipad face down until it went away

Disused/ empty swimming pools, totally creep me out.

Can’t stop laughing at the idea of the Isle of Man leg wheel thing flying at you like terminator That does give me the willies, as does the recurring nightmare of one bean being thrown at a PP

May I add, the squeaky scrape sound of touching those holographic pictures that show something at one angle and something else if you tilt them, DS used to have a transformers lunchbox like this. Internal screaming whenever I had to touch it.

Wave machines.....too many horror stories when I was younger!

Clusters of holes - turns out to be more common than I'd thought!

Baked beans - the texture, the smell, the whole thing.

Panna Cotta - wobbly bastards.

Beetlejuice - even the cartoon version terrified me as a child and I've never really got over that fear. Who thought that would be a suitable idea for children?!

Collarbones - I hate mine bring touched.

The drawing of blood - at work I've had to watch people having blood taken and it makes me feel faint.

Wrist veins/tendons/arches of feet - no idea why.

Potholing - why would anybody find that fun?!

I agree with Saucery on paper towels used to wrap food. Ugggh.
Piers, and pier legs, and any other structure with a floor with gaps. Bridges with railings. Is it Waterloo bridge that goes over to the Souht Bank and has the trains along one side. I literally had to crawl along that.

The word and colour fawn

I hate cooling towers as well. There are videos on YouTube where Urban Exlporers go inside disused ones. They give give me the shudders just thinking about it.

Things with holes in or things which look like they have holes in. Not regular holes like buttonholes just random horrid holes.
The underneath of mushrooms.
The very middle of artichokes.
Bracken when it's curled up makes me feel so weird.

I've just done the washing up and one of my hairs was in the bowl

Slugs.

Preying mantises (mantii?!)

The way the underneath wings of a ladybird look as it flies away (ugh!)

Weirs and fast flowing water rapids where canoeists paddle.

Huge open expanses of the sea.

The scene in that space film with Sandra Bullock where she ends up untethered and floating off into space alone... eeek!

Umbrellas
