What things scare the bajesus out of you?
Poisonous things like scorpions and rattlesnakes scare the trout out of me. Natural disasters scare me because I've never been in one and don't know what to expect, hypothetically speaking. Needles scare me because I was in and out of the hospital a lot as a kid and the nurses could never find my vein, so they'd poke me over and over.
Also, I was mortified of Dracula and vampires as a child.
What choo fraid of, EoFF?
Love.

I'm not afraid of anythang.
You two are the worst.
Hey, my answer makes sense. Love makes people weak. My hated archnemesis Dr. Psychopathico would be able to strike at me through my loved ones.
I'm joking, of course. Dr. Psychopathico is a puppy dog. We all know my real nemesis is Dr. Light and that machina infernalis of his. You will never know how close my esteemed colleague Wily was to a cure for cancer when that damned robot broke into his lab, destroyed his research, and murdered him. We must remain strong to resist such evil.
A truly accurate answer would take too much time and no such things go bump in the night. The darkness is nothing to be afraid of.
Psychological type horror as seen in Silent Hill 2 and Amnesia: The Dark Descent. I can play those games perfectly calm, but the idea does scare me. If anything remotely close to the settings of those games happened in real life I would be a mess.
Moths.
I'm not really afraid of most anything. There are the innate human fears of dying alone and typically being unnerved by things unknown, but those are pretty easy to come to terms with. And darkness isn't so much a fear, it just makes you proceed with caution. Putting aside things that are a little scary but don't make me lose my cool (going outside to check what that noise was, for example; I know I can take care of myself no matter what's out there), the only things that I actually have a real fear of are drowning and THOSE GIANT smurfING COCKROACHES WITH THE WINGS. Because when I was 6 I was learning how to swim and one of those giant smurfers swam in my mouth and I freaked out and almost died. I was coughing up water for a few minutes and was shaking like crazy.
So yeah. Giant cockroaches and drowning are my phobias. But nothing else is really scary at all as long as you remind yourself that you're a smurfing human being and can take care of yourself by remaining calm and rational in the face of adversity.
I'm pretty sure I could take on those situations in real life fairly calmly. It's not like video games haven't been mentally preparing us for the weirdest things that could possibly happen. I might be a little jarred at first, but one adapts and overcomes. The idea of being stuck in a world like that is actually kind of exciting to me.Quote:

This means, the sudden appearance of objects within sparse seconds where once there was nothing, impact noises, unexpected impact against my body, or fidgety behavior in other people around me can all inspire the one-time (quiet) jump. In general, I can only be "shocked" once every half-hour or so. So there's only a slim possibility that wandering through a horror house can get the jump on me (since I'm on guard from the moment I walk in as was the case in high school where my teacher asked me to grab an "eyeball" off the floor. I couldn't have cared less if the eyeball were real, I didn't find the situation intimidating although my older cousin standing right next to me was shivering head to toe. Best experience of my life)
As a kid, I once had a huge black spider (legspan approx 2 in) drop from a ceiling fan on top of me. I jumped up, screamed, and ran for my life. Those things are poisonous!
My future mother-in-law scares me to death. She called my phone once while I was peeing and I dropped my phone in the potty.
Cockroaches, centipedes and eternity shake me up.
That being said, I startle very easily. For example, the other day I was helping my friends paint their new house and I was in the bathroom, just paaaaainting away. When Greg says "That's some good painting" from the doorway and I screamed because I didn't know he was there.
Generally though, my response is to punch.
What is in the dark.
hearing the national anthem at 3AM only to be followed up with an echoing and emotionless voice informing me the broadcast day is over. then came the colourful bars and high pitched "beeeeeeeeeeeeeep". sends chills down my spine to this day.
and the staggered buzzing from the emergency broadcast system via radio/tv. that is the sound we will all hear before the world ends.
I had a friend as a kid who told the class she was afraid of the skinny children from the commercials about sending African children money. I thought it was funny then and, by George, I think it's funny now.
Kathy Bates.
Scorpions, lizards, snakes, lobsters, escalators, flying.... the future.
I've been staying with my boyfriend and he apparently lives in lizard country because they're everywhere. They are small and (he says :shifty:) harmless but they still creep me out. And last week I found a dead dried up scorpion while sweeping. None of that would be as bad as if I saw a snake though. I'd probably cry. I'm happy that I haven't seen one in many years.
Centipedes. Don't know why they get me so, but holy crap I lose all of my trout when I see one. :(
My mom spooks easily. She hates scary movies or even any show that hints there might be a spooky scene upcoming. She covers her eyes, shrivels up into a ball and tries not to listen to sudden noises.
She startles easily too. If the sound around her is generally quiet and someone says something from a direction she's not expecting (i.e. normally, my dad would be using a computer at the dining room table, and if he's not there) my mom jumps. She jumps if she turns and finds you there even if you've been there for the past few minutes. Even if you made a point of a noisy entrance. Even if your shadow is clearly visible on a near wall. Even if there is a mirror in front of her in which she has already seen your reflection. Apparently, none of this aids her in judging your distance from her when she turns, so if you happen to be close, she jumps and make a slight squeak. Then she gets mad at you because she apparently has poor depth perception and is must be going deaf in at least one ear.

I was standing by the window last night and he stuck his front legs up menacingly at me after sucking out the innards of a fly.
Grant me the power to stop this thing from becoming more powerful.
Zing him with some hairspray. Hairspray is spiders' kryptonite. (That and shoes, anyway.)
Or you could not be a horrible human being and let him live. He's obviously not an australian spider because you're still alive.
But he keeps getting bigger. He's clearly evolving into an Australian spider.
trout. Run. Or get a sword.
FORGET THE SWORD GET THE HAIRSPRAY
GET A HAIRSPRAY SWORD
OH GOD WHERE DO I GET ONE OF THOSE
Just get hairspray and a lighter.
Now you're cooking with gas.
Wasn't the hairspray sword someone's ultimate weapon in FFX-2?
Quite the opposite, in fact, it is a combustible liquid. It would be more analogous to cooking with lighter fluid.Quote:

Dammit Clo, grow some balls!
Stuff doesn't really scare me. It's more quick movement or things that startle me.
crane fly and zombies.
I tit myself whenever my computer dies and I cant get it back on and I think I've lost it all.
Infact I was asleep this morning when there was a bang outside like a car backfiring or something and my first thought as i woke up was "I hope that wasnt the sound of my computer exploding"
I put it to anyone who says they arent afraid of anything to pour some hot coffee over thier hard drive right now. And not just some spare one you have lying around, i want you to pour it over the one where you keep the porn you havent backed up.
