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

Rust on radiators
Killer whales
Eyeballs
Veins

Potholing...the thought of belly crawling along a tight narrow space

Stairs with bastarding gaps in.
I'm terrified of falling through the fuckers. I doubt that'd happen like.
I'm size 26

Eels. They are disgusting

Quicksand (I remember old black and white cowboy films when I was young, and horses got stuck in it-I’ve been terrified of it ever since).

Panna Cotta (shudders).

@isshebeingserious yes that too! Nothing good comes of any manky water piling up anywhere.

People pulling their fingers until their knuckles crack 🙈
People talking graphically about surgical proceedures. Particularly when they mention things like ‘tearing through muscle’ or making incisions 😨. I can’t watch programmes showing operations.

Dry, empty swimming pools.
Number station recordings.
Tall buildings with lots of space around them.

Mostly belly buttons but also

Other people filing their nails
Bald heads because they seem so vulnerable. I couldn't bring myself to touch a bald head

danni0509 I'll never find my DS1's extra 2 teeth weird again after seeing that. Boak

The night sky, especially on a clear night in the country.

All those billions of stars. The sheer vastness of the void in between them. Makes me feel a bit dizzy and incredibly small and vulnerable, like I can almost feel the planet spinning and we might just fall off into nothing, and also like everything ever from the first life to wars and little interpersonal things also amount to the approximate total of fuck all in terms of importance or significance.

@bunintheoven88 yes!! Both those things disgust me! The worst thought ever, a cluster of pimply holes

Patterns of holes. It is that bad. Don't google it. Makes me feel sick.

Baby grinding her new front teeth.

Soggy bits of food in dishwater. Now only use a dishwasher.

BunsOfAnarchy I googled

The hands and feet

When I'm in the shower and I have wet fingers I feel like my fingerprints are more pronounced (not very wrinkly, like when you've been in the bath too long) and the ridges more prominent, so when I'm trying to open a bottle of shampoo or whatever and the edge of the cap touches those ridges my whole body freezes and I cringe really hard.

Absolutely no one else I know understands when I tell them about my fingerprint ridges and plastic edges 😂

I feel really weird now 🤪

Haven't RTFT yet but as soon as I saw the title I thought of abandoned petrol stations.

Just wrrrgh

Wet crumbs in a dish cloth.
Touching dirty cutlery when loading the dishwasher.
Large ships e.g. Cruise liners, in dry Dock (the propellers!)
And holes..... Anything that triggers my tryptophobia gives me this weird headache without the pain and makes my eyes go out of focus.

What literally makes my knees feel like jelly is the thought of something heavy hanging on the wall falling off.

So I'll open the kitchen cupboard on the wall to get out a plate and think...imagine if this whole thing just fell off on me. The other one is my big mirror in the living room. I wonder if it will fall off and kill the cats.

Dirt/hair on a wet changing room floor 🤮

Base jumping/anything that involves people hanging off of tall buildings

Wet tissues

Tumours growing hair and teeth

I didn’t realise I had trypophobia until I googled it. Why did I google it!?

Any caves

The possibility of an escaped snake coming up my toilet always gives me the willies during middle of the night dark wees.

Oh and wooden cutlery

Slurry pits..... had it drummed in from a very very early age to never go near it.......

Pylons, hate the horrible buzzing sound and they look evil

Lightning, after our farm got hit several times

Oh yes, stairs with gaps ...ugggh. Relates to my Aunt’s trendy polished teak staircase when I was tiny. Very slippery and frightening.

Knee caps. Can barely touch my own and the thought of them moving about ... aaarrrggh.

Also:
Spiders.
Water getting into the fingers of rubber gloves. Ugh.
Feet.
Teeth.
Mud.
