Weird thoughts other people must think...

[ReenaGee]

Surely everyone has a fleeting thought of the bath falling through the ceiling whilst they're in it?

Does anyone else have this thought?

And other recurring little thoughts people have that other people must also think?

The bath one has crossed my mind semi-regularly since it happened in an episode of Corrie about 20 years ago🤣

When I hear the loft creaking, a little voice in my head says there is someone in there. (Maybe the Shadow Man!) 😱

Oh yeah, with Les and Cilla! 😆

If I have to go back downstairs at night, I'm terrified that I'm going to run into aliens (the small, humanoid-shaped ones) that have come into the house. Literally terrified 😬

(Though as opposed to the thread criteria, I doubt anyone has the same thought 🤣)

The bath one 😂 I definitely used to think that all the time!
Worrying that waterside would have a shutter that would come down and I'd get trapped
I still think what would I do if I had to go into witness protection, what name I'd choose etc (I know it doesn't work like that)

I have upstairs neighbours and think about their bath coming through the ceiling and crushing me while I'm in mine (even though I don't even know if they have a bath, and the bathroom is not directly above mine ! 😁)

And this is why I can no longer watch horror movies 😂

If I'm the last one up at night then I worry that when I've turned the last light off downstairs I'll hear a voice saying " get out"

It wasn’t a choice in our overcrowded house, and it was better than sharing a small double with my sisters!

Many people on this thread should take very great care to avoid Chuck ‘Fight Club) Palahniuk’s short story ‘Guts’.

Often wonder about what word I have said most in my life.

also when in the woods or countryside, beach etc I wonder how many humans have touched that bit of land or if I’m the first.

Ever since I was a kid when I'm watching a live concert I'll imagine I'm suddenly switched into the body of the lead singer / lead violinist etc. I think it started when I was bored watching my sister's concerts but it became something that made my heart race for hours each time just wondering what the hell I'd do.

Anyone else had the same??

Oh also I have recurrent thoughts about where I'd hide a dead body if I killed someone. I am about as far from being a murderer as you can get but the thought pops unwanted into my head especially when driving alone
Urgh!

I wonder the same: whether I’m the first person to walk on a bit of land.

Also, when on big walks, down ancient paths and the like, I often think of the people who definitely have been there before me. What they were carrying, what they were chatting to their companions about, where their end destination was etc

Whenever I’m in a non-European country I do express toilet trips because I’m scared (totally irrationally) that a snake or spider is gonna bite me in the arse coming up the toilet bowl 😂😂😂😂

I live on my own and a few weeks ago I almost choked on a tiny tablet that got stuck in my throat. Luckily it cleared but my backup plan is getting to the house over the road where he’s a sports coach as I figure he must know first aid!!

Was proper terrifying though!! While choking I wondered how long before anyone realised something was wrong and how embarrassing to die like that….

I always imagine pulling the handle on the emergency exit on a plane. It doesn't work when the plane is flying, but still...

Haha I do this all the time with bath - almost every time I get in it! I also think that whatever car is next to me on the one way system is going to drive into me and cause merry hell (I'm a genuinely very confident driver of 20 years - there is a single one way system that has this effect!

I also think, everytime I get a bunch of spring onions out of the fridge; what would happen if I whacked DH on the head - there is no logical reason for this one. I did actually donk him once - it didn't help 🤣

Literally an hour ago I thought this 😅

When I go to the theatre if I’m in the balcony I imagine jumping over onto the people below!!

Sometimes when I’m driving I get a thought to spin the car.

both thought make my legs feel shaky.

I’ve called the police nicely on an old neighbour as in elderly because we hadn’t seen him for some time. Got to about a week 😬

When I’m at the beach I often look at the sand / pebbles / shells and think how lucky they are to be the very tiny percentage that’s ended up out of the water compared to the vast amount that are under the sea.

I also do the bath one 😂.

My son was run over and it took the driver a few minutes to drive back off his body. Now every time I go over a crossing I think it's going to happen again. The especially annoying thing is that I've been nervous crossing the road his whole life because a friend of a friend lost their toddler when my son was a newborn. To actually have my fear realised years later hasn't been good. The fact both of these incidents happened on a proper crossing makes it even worse.

Haven't read all replies and this is perhaps not the same but when I load dishwasher I always think the knifes are going to drop onto my foot and stab me

I also think this sometimes about the bath. I attribute it to seeing it happen in a film called 'The money pit'.

What? A children's slide? People are evil 😥
