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

Watching my bump when baby starts rocking all over the place. It's like that bit in Aliens when Ripley has a nightmare that she has a chestburster.

Drain hair

Fish on fish counters which still have their eyes

Oh god wobbly teeth

My stress dream is the teeth falling out dream

Where my teeth are wobbly and fall out when I touch them with my tongue.

I'm always so relieved when I wake up and check they're all there.

Except once where I had an inception style dream within a dream. Where I woke up from the dream and my teeth WEREN'T there. FUCK.

I was both relieved and freaked out when I really DID wake up after that one! (Complete with full set of teeth)

eyes, or more specifically, people who can touch their eyeballs/eye surgery/etc.

@Isshebeingserious were you listening in on my conversation in the pub re. the phone calendars? (To be fair, my friend's objections to phone calendars were more practical than willies-related, but still, that's spooky!)

Another vote for cotton wool. also loose teeth. And can I throw hobey bees out there too. Bumble bees are fine, but honey bees..

Probably the same sensation as the cotton wool - I can't wear wool gloves as the thought makes my teeth tingle in a bad way. I remember touching the edge of a shopcounter whilst wearing gloves and it makes my mouth all funny. This was nearly 40 years ago!

Black ostrich feathers.

You’ve made my night that I’m not alone!!!!!!!!!!!

Seeing bacteria on the TV = when they show a petrie dish or something and all the bacteria start to multiply - makes me feel ill.

When you get water on the cuff of your sleeve - urrgh!

When you have a rough bit of toe nail which snags on the duvet cover - double urrrgh!

The row now I grew up in (and left age 17)

Does anyone ever get that feeling when you’re about to drop off to sleep and it feels like you’re shrinking/the rooms getting bigger?

Me and DS both get this. I don't get it very often any more but when I do I like it as it reminds me of being a child.

Dark water gives me the willies though.

I'll try again.
The town I grew up in (and left when I was 17)

Definitely deep water. The ocean. Octopuses. Those bottom feeding creatures.

The Mariana Trench. Oh God I don't want to think about the Mariana Trench.

The top surface of open water.

I scuba dive (once I got past the general fear of wild water and got under it) and I'm happy underwater when I can look around. But when you surface and wait to get out....

Got caught in a current once in open water in the Red Sea (no danger) and drifted a little. It meant we were the last ones collected by the boat and I had to stare at the top of the water for about 15 mins while the boat drove round picking us all up. I hated thinking of what was under me and I couldn't see. If I'd have been allowed to duck back under a foot I'd have been fine.

Yes to drain hair!

Also loo brush holders which accumulate water at the bottom and... just ewww

Monkeys. Nasty little monkey fingers.

Piercings especially on eye brows.

The smell of kidneys frying.
Someone picking their nails
Very high/deep stuff the to y glimpse I got of watching that guy jump off the ultra high balloon and freefall omg gave me nightmares for days. And I turned it off after a nanosecond!

And wooden ice Lolly sticks touching my teeth. Or wooden spoons.

What about the water that accumulates in tooth brush holders?

Ugggh yes, cotton wool. The dryness of it is wrong. The thought of biting it *shudder
The underside of ships. Piers. The water swirling around things like bridges. Deep dark water.
The feel of cobwebs. Robots. Pushing cuticles.

For anyone else who gets the big space / little falling asleep thing there is a whole Reddit of people discussing it, I had no idea others got this
