This list is cracking me up! I have some of the exact same things my 'scare the crap out of me' list.
ReplyDeleteI too hate crowds; answering the door, phone, and unknown letters. I worry constantly about car wrecks (including turning corners and running over pedestrians. I also fear tax time (even if I think I won't have to pay much.) I just fear the IRS for some reason. We were auditted once and I nearly croaked, but we got money back. I don't like balloons either--I know not why. (I don't like the sound of them or having them pop.)
ReplyDeleteSometimes, I just sit there very quietly, hoping whoever rang the doorbell will just go away. The second ring always makes me jump, but by this point, I can't open the door now! So I wait, nearly holding my breath. Not sure why I hold my breath. It's not like they can hear me breathe through the door, into the other room where I'm sitting.
ReplyDeleteNumber one thing that scares me? Being tied up or my limbs confined somehow. If I can't stretch my arms and legs, regardless if I need to at that precise moment, I freak. I even have a hard time seeing people in movies tied up. I start flapping my arms and kicking my legs. Ask my hubby; he'll confirm this.
Love the being overheard when using the bathroom but I'll finish it and say being overheard when using the bathroom in PUBLIC...Like when you have to go poo and you can't wait til you get home...Ah I hate that!
