What scares you or freaks you out?

I just moved to Indiana in the end of April to live with my boyfriend.
I didn't take into account that since its warmer the spiders might be bigger too..:frown:
I am super afraid of spiders, like have miniature strokes every time I see one bigger than a dime.
I went to let my goat babies out this morning after the big thunderstorm was over and there was this HUGE spider in the mud room by the baseboard, with legs it was bigger than a 50 cent piece...I creeped around it and went out, when I came back in it had moved closer to the door I am pretty sure it was trying to get back outside.
I just checked the entire mud room and cant find it so I am pretty sure it went back outside probably through the garage since there isn't that good of a seal on the bottom of the door..
My boyfriend is an OTR and wont be home until Friday so I have no one to squish spiders for me...and I'm a sissy if I cant squish it with a flip flop I have a heart attack...or if it makes a crunch noise...oh lawd.
Since I couldn't get out for a bike ride today do you think my mini stroke from seeing that spider counts for burning calories? LOL :laugh:
I just needed to share I was freaked out completely!
Guess I can ask the question what freaks out or scares everyone else???

ide have to say pretty much all insects. especially ones that have 8 legs +! but mostly, the dark and silence. i sleep with a light on that i claim is for the kids, and i must have my fan on. those two things scare me more then anything else i think.0

Crickets. Spiders. Ladybugs. Those giant mutant mosquitoes. June Bugs. I have goosebumps right now thinking about it....I was stuck in my room for 5 hours one time because a cricket crawled out of my closet, and behind something hanging off my door. :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown:
And yeah, pretty much all insects. I think the only things I am not afraid of are ants and flies....
I am also 100% terrified of the dark, someone breaking into my house, and getting kidnapped/murdered.0 -

ROTFLMAO!!!! :laugh: :laugh: Those 2 sentences had me rolling for a good minute. My heart stops and the crunch noise sends shivers throughout my entire body.
My biggest phobia is spiders so I can completely empathize with your reaction and situation. Too many legs. Roaches and snakes are gross but spiders take the cake for creepiness. *shudders*0 -
Spiders and centipedes freak me out. Also anything that flies and stings: Wasps, hornets, bees0
-
Spiders are one of my fears too.
My biggest is the dark. I'm 22 and still use a nightlight. I don't like not being able to see everything around the room. I panic. For some reason I always think a killer is in my house haha.0 -
Spiders pretty much are my archnemesis.. They make me freakin lose it! :sad:0

Same! I haven't slept in the complete dark in at least 5 years.0 -
I'm the spider-killer (or releaser) in my house. DH is afraid of them... go figure. What freaks me out is open water (lakes, rivers, oceans). I'm trying to get over that, as DH has a newly found love of kayaking, and I'd love to be able to kayak with him.0

SPIDERS!!!!
Bees!!! (im afraid to kill them... if you kill one the bee can smell it and go after you. The bees leaves out a gas or some kind of smell... so when it get killed by a human and the other bees and smell they will chase you) Just like a Killer Bees but those are worst... >.<

the dark!! I hate the dark:sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: and yes i sleep with a light on!! hehehe0

I am afraid of open water too, a little bit. It's the fact that I don't know whats under the surface.0 -
Ill take all of your guys spiders; just keep the snakes the hell away from me.0

Snakes are my all time biggest fear - freak out!!! So much so that I have panick attacks seeing them. They had one at a kids zoo birthday party (yeah who's idea is that?) and I had to leave the room. I was so freaked out I started sweating and hyperventalating!!!
It's bad!!!!
But, I know where my fear comes from - when I was about 8 years old my two older cousins -(Boys) put a little garden snake down the back of my shirt - which was tucked in at the time!!!! Well ... it may have been very funny for them but not for me. I had all these little marks on my back for weeks. They don't really bite but the poor snake was as scared as me!!! I think it was actually like scatches and I had a reaction to it. I gotta go - feeling dizzy and sweating!!!!!!0 -
Cockroaches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ewwww Gross!0

Bwahahaha this made me laugh....a few coworkers and I were in the work room of one of our branches (I work for a commercial bank) and there was this god awful looking bug on the ceiling...with like a long horn like thing on it's head.....we all rushed to one side of the room and one of the girls brought in a chair and a giant phone book, climbed up on the chair and jumped off while throwing the book at the ceiling...all while doing a crazy Xena warrior cry. She then swears she saw it on the floor, threw the book on the floor and did a wrestling type of jump off the chair on the book....lifted the book and nothing.
I was laughing so hard I was in tears...but the funniest part was when I pulled up the security cameras and watched it in slow motion. Freakin hilarious....
Though the ceiling panel falling down wasn't hilarious...or the fact that we never did find a corpse....0 -

Here are a picture of my babies.... The one with the black head was a gift from my boyfriend after her mom and brother were killed by a dog The all white one I bought to keep Lucy company There about 4 months old now

I think the monster spiders I see are just Wolf Spiders which are "harmless" according to the internet but when I see one I run away and scream like a 6 year old that just saw the most popular barbie on the shelf during xmas time.
I saw one in the garage a month ago and started yelling for my boyfriend and ran away and he was pushing it around with a broom and squishing it and sweeping it towards me....he quit when I almost started to bawl my eyes out...LOL
Spiders scare me they are so weird and creepy and ugly!
Other than spiders...hmmm Seaweed is probably number 2...if I'm swimming and it touches me it's over I freak out and can practically walk on water to get away from it...haha..... I love to swim but lakes weird me out because if I cant see the bottom idk how tall the seaweed is and if I jump in and it touches me...aaaah0 -
SPIDERS! - that crunch sound - right there with you! Can't leave them alive, and can't kill them for fear of the sound!!
I have been known to spray one with hair spray, so it freezes and can't move, just so I didn't have to hear the crunchy sound!! I've also captured them in cups to leave for my dear husband when he gets home
I have a fear of heights - actually froze solid while walking across a bridge that had a grate to walk on!
Most fears I have are insect related - stinging ones and ones that spread diseases, like roaches *cringe*
the worst is attempting to hide these fears from my daughter so I don't pass them along to her! so far, so good!0 -
Rodents....mice, rats, gerbils, hamsters, etc.....Yuck, yuck, yuck.
There was quite a comical scene (not funny at the time) recently of me trapped in a 1/2 bath with my cat and a mouse playing ring around the rosie around the commode while I sat screaming with me feet up on the wall.....funny now but I was petrified at the time. I was screaming at the cat that I would gas him if he ever brought another mouse in my house to the top of my lungs like he had a clue what I was talking about. The mouse finally went up the side of the trash can and into it. I jumped up, tripped over my pants (lol) grab the trash can can to the back door and sit it outside where it stayed for two days until my husband got home and could check to make sure there wasn't a mouse in it.0 -

I couldn't do the cup thing I don't even like to get near them!!! There isn't any hairspray in the house but their is air freshener! Next time I see one it's on...
There was actually one about a month ago coming down diagonally from the ceiling to the far and I hide behind a pillow with some monster screen cleaner spraying at it....my boyfriend thought I was on crack and got up and squished it with my phone to which I almost had a stroke about because then I had to clean spider off my phone...eww0 -
fish and deep water. which is kind of funny because i used to be a varsity swimmer in high school. its not so much drowning that i am afraid of... it's the fact that there are things potentially bigger than me swimming underneath me. always gived me the shudders. lol0
-
I, too, am afraid of spiders! I love that cell phone commercial out right now where the girl goes crazy cuz the spider shows up when the guys phone rings and the other guy smashes the crap out of it! I so can relate.
I, too, have a size issue with them - anything over a dime - right there with you. I can kill them - if they aren't too big. You might try spraying them instead - you don't have to touch them or hear the squish or anything - they just shrivel up and die.
I can handle most everything else - don't like to kill things - let most bugs back outside - but spiders that encroach on my space - don't stand a chance - I just am so afraid of them!
Good luck! I love goats, too - they are so cute in their own way!0 -
SPIDERS AND ESPECIALLY SPIDERS YOU MISS BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO FAST, AND YOU KNOW IT'S STILL IN THE HOUSE SOMEWHERE!!!!!!!!0

I was white water rafting in West Virginia once and they let us get out and float over the smaller rapids, while we are in the water our guide says a train fell off the tracks we just floated under about 50 years ago and they sent divers down to find it since that part of the river is very deep....he said one of the divers came back up and said leave the train down there I'm not going back in I saw something swimming under me that was bigger than I am..... I was like let me back in this raft right now...LOL
Karen I couldn't bring my Lab with me to IN since I am living with my boyfriends mother right now and she won't let me keep my house dog in the house, so my boyfriend gave me a goat and I have her all leash trained and everything she sits on my lap in the car, they both eat outta my hand, the newest one when I pick her up she cuddles right up to me and smooshs her head into mine..LOL0 -
I hate roaches! If i have one in my house i will put a cup over it and then a book on that and wait for my husband to come home to kill it!0
