What creeps you out?
a sampling:
-- cars that park themselves
-- closet monsters
-- overly earnest religionists
-- pink eyeshadow
overly friendly weird looking guys. They really creep me out.
I tend to have a pretty high tolerance, but ...
spiders
fire
spiders on fire typically make me feel better, though.
mimes
The French, especially French mimes
Like Aliantha said, guys who don't know American standard spacing in public. Yikes, gimme room, son!
Is it a different story for you Britons? You guys are considered European, aren't you? And I hear their public and intimate space is way different.
Old women who put on makeup.
It's like being around Pennywise.
Ahhh...we're generally considered to be Australian mate. You lot are closer to Europe than we are.
We like the wide open spaces here. There's no need for anyone to be standing too close without invitation.
There are always those who don't observe generally accepted distances though.
Sorry Ali, I forgot you were from down under but I was just generally asking the mass British populus that hangs around here. But sounds like you and your Australian mates like 3-5 feet of room comfortable as well.
High five!
it may seem silly, but i really fucking hate it when my scotch tape dispenser is low. i feel this unreal pressure that it's going to run out soon...but i don't want to just throw out the remainder of the roll.....i hate to waste .it...but you can't tell when it's really on its last lap or if it has 5 or 6 left....
i confessed this to a salesman today and he mocked me unmercifully. meh... prolly deserve it. but i really do get edgy about that for some reason.
cock

Would it freak you out if I mentioned that I've only got 2 degrees of separation from Marcel Marceau?

We're only technically European - our public space is 11 miles[COLOR="White"] (Dover to Calais for those not in the know)[/COLOR]
I think you'll find we're about the same as the Americans, if not even more cautious about getting close. Except on the Tube, and even then correct form is to pretend the person with their nose in your armpit isn't really there.

Very much. The goats may help to redeem you, however.
You also drink whiskey and not wine.

In my experience Americans have a smaller personal space and are way more touchy-feely than Brits.
I'm not keen on:
really pale blue eyes
the grids at the bottom of swimming pools
veins in roast beef
U.S. Personal Space is 1.5 to 3 feet.
I have to take a test for my Assault Training Cert every year. That's one of the first questions.

1.5 is waaay too close. Unless we're having sex.
I've noticed that people in elevators disperse like a gas, and everytime one person exits (I was going to say 'gets off') everyone else rearranges their position slightly to achieve maximum total spacing.
Agreed, Monster. 3-5 is what I consider normal. Normal conversations don't occur at 18 inches, unless there's absolutely no space at all.
let's add
sharing food /drinks. DON MOT LIKE. spit issues. I'm no germ freak -my house is filthy and I eat food off the floor, (yes my real name is The Hoff) but there's something about slobber sharing.
I hate dogs, I'm scared of them, but I'm more scared of the slobber than the teeth, if I'm honest.
people like that noob UsageBSomethingorother coming into the chat room and leaving without talking :p
Did I mention the pale blue eye thing already? *shiver*
I hate the cotton wood pads the dentist uses. The sensation of them touching my teeth is worse than nails on a blackboard.

:D Okay, I'm still figurin' this chat thing out!
Sex from a foot and a half away?!
You must have a pretty good size, uh, imagination.
space thing is a biggie for me - i don't like it when people get in my face
we have a sales guy that comes in to the office once a month - he could totally pass for WC Fields - 1st words every time -
"you lookin mighty pretty today" - then he proceeds to tell a couple of jokes (real knee slappers - [COLOR="White"]sarcasm[/COLOR])
creeps me:
spiders
holey textures
boring mediocre people
flames and what not painted onto a normal everyday car (and spoilers)
dog food
The fact that Hugo Chavez and George Bush are world leaders.
creeps me:
...
boring mediocre people ...
Hey! I'm working on it.
Now you made me cry.
Not YOU! No Cellarites! Just the general feeling I'm getting about the immediate population around me, today. ;)
boring, dumb mediocre people.
obviously none of us qualify!
guys with wimpy handshakes
not looking me in the eye when talkin to me

Where are they looking?

yikes - left myself open with that one:blush:
Hardcore fans.
Myself, I have... um... impulses.
I hate the cotton wood pads the dentist uses. The sensation of them touching my teeth is worse than nails on a blackboard.
not to mention the splinters!;)
Food or utensils I'm about to use touching my kitchen counter. Because my cat walks all over it...after walking on the floor...and in his litterbox...:greenface
not to mention the splinters!;)
:lol:
I prefer the biting stick to the cotton wool
Finding someone else's pubic hair as I unfold a "clean" hotel towel.
After a very tasty cup of hot joe at a diner, the person sitting in the facing bench tells you about the lipstick on your cup...sure enough, you turn it around and there it is...gross.
Any unidentified smell in the back of a taxi (that I didn't create). ;)
Hilary Clinton.
Limp & slightly moist handshakes.
And much, much more...
1.5 is waaay too close. Unless we're having sex.
I must agree, if you are not going to give me a blow job you are about to be exterminated.

GASP! The secret is out!
TheMercenary is a Dalek!
There is absolutely nothing sinister about pink eyeshadow - it's all shimmery, pretty goodness.
hahahahahahaha @ roast beef veins!
What's really creepy:
- touching toilet paper when your fingers are pruned.
- people who like turnips.
M&Ms with hair.
Wear many sweaters with pockets?
Easily avoided if you stop shopping the Arnold Palmer men's section of the Sears Catalogue.
Corpse-pale lipstick like [SIZE="1"]Paris Hilton's.[/SIZE]
Creamed eggs. Just thinking about them makes me shudder.

on the commercials!
Welcome, Violet Haze.
Never mind M&Ms with hair -what about when you bite into a sandwich and the bit in your gob remains connected to the rest of it by the amazing unbreakable, undetachable from the food human hair. The one that looks like a record-breakingly long pube. So entrenched in the food that as you pull the remaining food away from your mouth, it yanks the bite you just took straight back out. Not that you wouldn't have spat it out anyway. barf. ick. yeuch . squirm.
How am I supposed to eat my egg mcmuffin now?
on the commercials!
Doh!
That obviously flew right over my head :bonk:
people that are not able to connect emotionally
people that fragment their emotions
people that are too controlling
people that are too nice (I need to get over that one)
With all the Paris Hilton comments, the cover of today's
New York Post seemed appropriate to share.
How am I supposed to eat my egg mcmuffin now?
You just got a kick start on your new healthy-eating plan.
It's just one of the many free community services I provide :D

Hmmph.
Doh!

I totally thought she meant the candy, too. Do the M's on TV have hair?
People who think emotions are more important than reason. You never know what they will do and they never make any sense. Avoid at all costs.
there's a new set of commercials on tv with M&Ms with hair. They are uuuuugly!
people who think reason is more important than emotion. They always think they're right, never listen, and are deluded in thinking all problems can be solved with logic.
:p
Creamed eggs. Just thinking about them makes me shudder.
Creamed eggs? (confused) You mean scrambled?
LJ's Goo Pic. *hides under bed*

never stated any of those things.

That's just WRONG!
I got some kiwis:p
Thems some nice, er, um...kiwis you got there, rage! :D

teasing ya! both are valuable, really. Too much reliance on one side of the brain, without opening oneself to what the other side is telling you, is not a Good Thing.

Not sure if this is too off-colour for this forum but... speaking of kiwis...
Ever since a close friend of mine once joked in drunken hilarity that semen "tastes like kiwi" to her, my face feels a bit hot every time I'm somewhere kiwis are served and her husband is in attentance.

Is this him?
One of those kiwis needs to be much longer than the others.
Which is more important when judging kiwis? Width or length?

@ monster: are you always so accomodating? :lol:
(p.s. that was a rhetorical question)

Ahhh.. the age old debate of length VS girth, eh? People get so caught up soley in the issue of the plug, when it's the volume of the receptacle that dictates such requirements.
Monster, now it looks like two of those kiwis should be...rounder and less long. Too dangly. ;)
Ahhh.. the age old debate of length VS girth, eh? People get so caught up soley in the issue of the plug, when it's the volume of the receptacle that dictates such requirements.
The receptacle can expand, astonishingly so. The girth, well, it only gets so girthy. :blush:
The receptacle can expand, astonishingly so.
But if you could park a semi in it, it there ever hope of it contracting sufficiently?
Have we come full circle?okay, I know! How about those commercials for "vaginal restructuring." Be a virgin again!
A virgin again? Who the hell would want that? That's akin to wanting your wisdom teeth to grow back and needing them pulled again.
Creamed eggs? (confused) You mean scrambled?
No no, scrambled is fine. Creamed eggs are like... well, imagine egg gravy. It's usually served on toast.
Ugh, wait, I found a picture.
That looks quite disgusting.
All it needs is some garnish...a sprig of parsley or two, maybe some pimento strips for more color...
http://www.lileks.com/institute/gallery/knudsen2/7.htmleggs mornay is pretty good, with a swiss cheese sauce.
Finally!!!! Other people that think similarly to me regarding kiwis!!
The firm little hairy things....I'm drawn to them, but repulsed at the same time.
Sure, just as I was thinking 'gee, I like creamed chipped beef so maybe creamed eggs would be good' you hit us with this! Damn, it looks so life-like, too.
Ewww, those wet-type farts are just wrong wrong wronggggg!!
and really inconvenient.
Of course I should have labelled that picture
Colonic Collapse Disorder to sneak in a clone thread within a thread......
You know what? After that image, I may never eat SOS again.
說中文太多… 會想只用中文! 阿呀…
According to Google...
"... That too many Chinese will want to stick to the Chinese! Ah ah ... "
SOS?
SOS is a term that originated in the military, as far as I know. In this case SOS stands for 'Shit On a Shingle' and is a nickname for creamed chipped beef on toast. I'm sure Gaelic Ninja was referring to this.
Creamed chipped beef on toast is the best food ever! :o
Those creamed eggs? That just looks gross.
very small showers creep me out.
Along with the following:
open blinds at night from the inside of the house
houses that have boards on the windows
people who stare blankly
puss
anvil clouds
it's PUS!
(sorry, private joke)
I like puss...thats weird isnt it? I mean, I like squeezing things that are puss-ee.
Means the pimples quit hurting -- at least so much. Lancing with an alcohol-dipped needle is definitely recommended.
Creamed eggs look quite a bit like Hollandaise sauce... I'd probably like 'em. {Google is my friend}... all rightee -- not Hollandaise, but a roux-like cream sauce of flour and butter and milk... seems it could use something to pep it up...
Anviltop stormclouds are just fun -- to be inside under a roof from... haven't been in a good oldfashioned mountain-states thunderstorm in decades.
All Purpose Porpoise Pus is funnier than regular pus.
I remember a family friend once calling them "gorilla balls."
Dried figs look a lot more... scrotal.

Not if you're a Pink Person like me. Makes me look as if I have an eye infection. Or hung over.
Middle age women dressing like their teen daughters...and it is especially icky if they are showing their chub.
Furry men working in the heat with their shirt off. Yuck.
I like watching The Closer. It's a pretty good show, it's not reality TV, and it's not a rerun. The thing that keeps me from enjoying it more, and creeps me out is, Kyra Sedgwick's mouth. It's freaky. As I'm watching The Closer, and trying to follow the story, and figure out "who done it", I get distracted by her mouth. I start to wonder, why would someone with such a freaky mouth put red lipstick on it to draw attention it? Also I spend much of the show trying to figure out who she reminds me of.

I totally agree. My wife loves this show, and to be honest, the writing is better than CSI's (by a thousand miles), but Kyra's mouth is a distraction. And the chemistry is not there with her live-in boyfriend (FBI Special Agent Fritz Howard - Jon Tenney). I have to take my bathroom/kitchen break when they are in a scene together. Waste of programming.
Also I spend much of the show trying to figure out who she reminds me of.
I think she looks like Julia Roberts.
Uisge Beatha: Why yes, that's exactly what I was referring to. Thanks.
As for what actually freaks me out? Um... whole lotta nothing. Except maybe Cthulhu.
I think she looks like Julia Roberts.
Thanks a lot. And I mean that in the sense of when someone helps you get a really bad song stuck in your head.:)
The new yard guy at work really creeps me out. I spoke to the other yard guy about it today and he said he even creeps him out.
I don't know what our boss was thinking!
I'm weird. Seeing food in non-food circumstances, like if part of a sandwich is on the floor or something, is creepy. So is non-food in food circumstances -- in the sense that mildly gross things seem much grosser to me if they are, say, in a fridge or on a plate. And I really hate to deal with anything that's in the mid-range between edible and not edible, like peeling a carrot and then having a bunch of carrot peelings to deal with, or taking a plate and putting it in the dishwasher, where it goes from being a plate with food on it to a "dirty dish." The food transforms into dirt... which sort of makes it seem like I was eating dirt in the first place.
Of course, the ultimate level of this particular phobia is seeing identifiable [former] food in bodily wastes. Eewwwwwww. *shudder*

Ha! freakin, ha! Today's ep had her mouth and the lipstick as a plot device! :3eye:
Full grown women with little girl voices.
On the old Loveline radio show, Dr Drew used to point out what they could tell just from a caller's voice, in the same manner as wolf can tell things from purse contents.
Little girl voice = sexually abused, at the age the voice indicates. Remaining the emotional age of the period of abuse.

I was like wtf? I already read that.
