DON'T DO IT OR I'LL HAVE YOU BANNED ALL THE WAY TO ZIMBABWE!

Remember that I can just edit it out if you do post it. And didn't you already tell me it was Jackie Chan?

I have always had an irrationl fear of oil candles WHILE they are lit. If they aren't lit I'm fine with them. I always think that they are going to spill and catch the house on fyah.

Eh...I'm only 14, but have that. The dark just creeps me out. But it's small dark places that are the worst.

And no, I don't have claustrophobia.

Ever read The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Poe? That'll haunt your dreams for years. (those of you who have read it will know why)

Yes, I've read it (a few days ago in English Class). It's actually not that scary, to me.

I guess I meant to say "Calm Dark Places". When I'm sleeping, I need a radio or a fan on.

I'm-a have a go at this.
Fear list:

1. When people knock on your window late at night. Like when my brother was back from a night at the ba he knocked so I would open the door.
2. Hearing things I can't see.
3. Needles.
4. Anything else of the slightest creepyness.

I think I've mentioned this somewhere before, but I have an irrational fear of the Glad Man. You know, that creepy white-haired guy on the commercials. I don't know why, but I've always been scared of him. They tell me that it's now a different Glad Man than the one from when I was a kid, but I wouldn't know as I haven't looked at him for more than a split second for about 20 years. There was a teacher at my high school that looked like him, and I would go the other way when he was walking down the hall.

May I just ask who the crap is Glad Man? Is he anything like the Burger King? Cause that guy creeps me out.

As far as I can tell, he was the mascot for Glad.

I have no idea what he looked like, though.

Time for your shot.

I used to be afraid of needles, but not anymore. I just realized, they were only made to help.

I am having too much fun with this topic.

Shopiom · **Posted:** Tue Sep 27, 2005 9:13 pm

There's gonna be some serious bannination up in here if you guys keep talking about the Glad man!

Just to point this out, not even Wikipedia knows about Glad Man. MHG, you're probably making him up, you crazy person you.

Jitka · **Posted:** Tue Sep 27, 2005 9:19 pm

I wouldn't be surprised.

At first, I actually thought she was talking about Mr. Clean, but then realized she wasn't.

Hey, speaking of creepy mascots of plastic bag companies, anybody remember that finger guy from the old Ziploc commercials? He used to bug me like crazy.

I'm talking about sowing needles, not their medical versions.

Huh, really? I assumed it was doctor's needles, too. I guess sewing needles are creepy too.

Neo · **Posted:** Tue Sep 27, 2005 9:39 pm

A short list.

Hights
Darkness
Spiders (a lot)
Bees
That sound bugs make when they fly near your ear
Blood that's not mine.
Germs (somewhat, I wash my hands all the time with germ-X but other than that I'm fine)
Dogs
Those sounds that houses make that sound like footsteps.
And.... that's it! Mostly.

i was scared of some stupid things when i was little

Sharks (well thats not THAT stupid)
Clowns and people in big costumes, u no?
the rubbish truck - this was the most pathetic thing. id wait for it to come then when i heard the loud noise it made id run away screaming!

Stinko girl 20x6 · **Posted:** Wed Sep 28, 2005 4:08 pm

i was never scared of sharks- i mean- i wanted to be a shark.

i was scared of this book we had. there was this picture on the front of this strange yellow furry thing hiding in the woods and i always thought that it would come out of the book and kidnap me or something. i still dont like that book. ugh.

Didymus · **Posted:** Wed Sep 28, 2005 4:44 pm

I used to be afraid of what we used to call "skeeter trucks." They're those trucks that drive around spraying insecticide to kill mosquitos, and the noise they made would scare the living crap out of me.

Nowadays, I'm more afraid of getting bitten by a mosquito and turning into an Egyptian! (you know, West Nile Virus?)

I've never heard of those trucks. probably because there are now mosquitos in my country.

Yeah, the most deadly creature in Ireland is the bumblebee.

Go figure.

Glo Sticks.

Really, if I give an explanation of why I'm really scared of them, it doesn't seem so weird. But here go anyway.

So I was sitting on the couch, and there was this Glo Stick next to me. So I thought, "Hey! I'll snap it and play around with it." Everyone knows that you have to snap a Glo Stick to get it to light up, so I grabbed both ends and bent 'er back. Suddenly juicy gooey stuff squirts up in my eye and I feel a slight tingle. I grab my eye and run down the stairs. I find a sink and splash some water on it. I go find my mommy.

She calls poison control, they tell her to get me to stand in the shower with my head up, eye open.

The end.

Ugh. Gross. That was always a small fear of mine.

Anything that's poison or harmful is scary.

Bad Pun'D!

As for the Skeeters, they don't scare me like they used to as much as they are just an annoyance. Poison Ivy though, that I'm run from, mostly because if I gets it again, it won't be pretty.

No, we have panthers and common vipers here. Though both are pretty rare, but natural. Not escaped zoo animals.

Plus the most dangerus creature is mankind.

Okay, I just spent a LOT of time looking for a picture of him. And his name isn't "Glad Man", I don't think. I don't think he has a name, really, he's just a spokesman. But my search was fruitless, which is lucky for me. Maybe he's just a figment of my imagination?

Well, he has white hair and wears a white suit and is creepy. If anyone finds a picture of him, post it and I won't have you banned. I might scream a little, but no bannination.

One other fear: Smoke

Why does California have to have a fire season?! WHY?! WHY?!

Speckeldorf · **Posted:** Sun Oct 02, 2005 4:45 pm

I used to be afraid of my Grandpa, when I was little. Old people used to scare me.
And then there was this one thing in Kid Pix (the old one) in the video section. It was like, a ghost. And it made noises. Jibbly.

Dark Grapefruit · **Posted:** Sun Oct 02, 2005 5:45 pm

Hey, the Glad Man is awesome. He was even in an episode of Corner Gas. He was having a barbecue in heaven.

Prof. Tor Coolguy · **Posted:** Thu Oct 06, 2005 12:56 am

Sorry, I had to necro this thread because I just got a bad case of the jibblies.

Needle Dog's avatar and banner sig, scares the living jibblies out of me *shudder*.
