Potential threat of snipers

[CompulsiveNameChanges]

Does anyone else always close curtains/blinds before turning on lights in a dark room just in case there's a sniper lurking outside? I'm not a woman who's likely to have a hit on me, but I feel like it's a sensible thing to do nonetheless.

I can’t use my late MIL’s lovely mirror in case she’s watching me through it.

Also, cracks are something to do with Jacks and squares are bears surely?

I’m not worried about the snipers, but I do always have to have the weight of a duvet over me (no matter how hot it is) to protect me from the demons.

No. It’s crocodiles. Obviously.

No that’s puddles. Haven’t you seen Dr Who? They will reach out and pull you in to the puddle and drown you, or else you will be trapped forever in the puddle waiting to get your own victim to replace you.

Also the slow, stupid Zombies are easily defeated by placing treadmills all around the outside of your house. They just keep walking and walking on the treadmill, with their stupid green arms outstretched, never getting anywhere.

It's the clickers you have to be careful of. Echolocation zoombies.

I have watched a lot of the new doctor who’s, but I lost interest Clara left, watched some if the Bill episodes and a few of the with the guy off the chase, and haven’t watched it since. I vaguely recall a puddle episode but not particularly. I love 9 and 10, 11 was not bad, 12 with Clara was good but when she left I didn’t seem to gel with the companions after that. They were good but I just found them a bit stale compared to the previous ones, I could take it or leave it tbh. And now I feel like I can’t start watching again because I missed so many and it wouldn’t make sense 😂

the mirrors don’t trap you in them, but the thing will come out and attach itself to you 😂 that’s my concern.

Do man spiders actually have willies? 🤔

Echolocation zoombies

Sounds like something my crazy black cat would do…

I hear you sister. I tend to cover the mirrors in the mornings. I can give me my own PTSD without intervention ta very much 😂

Enjoy! Because I can guarantee the next time I'm up on a family visit, it will rain. Or snow. !!

Ohhhh. Me too

Yeah, i get this, but strangely it's even more comforting to be wearing socks in bed. If it has to be one or the other, naked but with socks is safer than pyjamas.

I do this. DH also smiles nicely at the camera on the self checkout at Aldi just in case he gets abducted on the way home so they have a nice photo of him to put on the news.

The odd thing is I felt like this when I lived in California. I was scared of guns all the time - because my landlord had told me who had them (he saw it as reassurance). What I actually hate are all the bright outdoor lights because to me it makes it so much easier for the 'bad guys' to see you and to hide in the shadows.

Someone dies with a gun every 3 hours in California.

Zombies, I'm convinced, will deffo be a thing one day! We already have spice heads which look pretty close. I lock my car doors so zombies can't get in and run up my drive when I get out of the car or put the bins out, also because of zombies 😄

You are very wise!

It's a distinct possibility!

nope we are open and flaunt ourselves to the neighbours god help them!

I once had a spider (and his willy I assume?) above my bed. Every time I turned the light on he ran back up to the ceiling so I couldn’t reach him to put him elsewhere (bottom of a shoe etc) but as soon as the light was off and I was in darkness he’d crawl back down to get me and wipe his willy on my face. He had a plan, a cunning plan.

On another note, I always wonder if a sniper could get me if I hid underneath the kitchen window and would I have time to get round the other side of the house to run away or would said sniper be able to run super fast or would he just be able to shoot me through the house.

I also assume when I let the dog in at night that big foot will follow the dog into the house, so I have to close the door as fast as I can when he comes in

Noosmummy12 its cryptids for me, too. I'm not worried about snipers but I do worry about Mothman being drawn in by the light so I always shut the curtains first.

Now I think the reverse, the baddies in this world deserve all the horrors in their lives and catching a look of me starkers would be high on that list. I dread ever moving, at the moment my bedroom window is not overlooked, maybe a mile away, so I'm fairly cavalier about walking round.
When we lived with the military we were always told never to sit in a brightly lit room with the curtains open.

I remember a story about a woman who was a broken into and she ran downstairs naked and roared wildly and they ran away!!!😂

So true!Hedges are lethal. My hubs came home from work early one day to find a man in the hedge watching me while I gardened. Man told husband he was just resting before legging it down the road.

True story and I often wonder what would have happened if my husband hadn’t come home early.

That was when we got our first German Shepard. No more strange men in hedges.

But surely the garlic keeps them away? Or have I been doing personal protection wrong for years?

You've obviously never been confronted by a dalek in real life have you?
