What scares you..? A real physical thing....? [Archive]

NOT events, Name things that scare the puppy poop out of you, Physical real things that make your blood run cold.

Military Rotary Aircraft, like Blackhawks......I hide in the bushes like a little mouse when they fly directly overhead. I have been working on Manning-up, and standing in the open meadow when they fly overhead, but my heart is pounding.
Not the little re-con birds. The big huge gunships. There is something about their being able to stop overhead, and all that firepower.

Name things that scare the puppy poop out of you,

I hope I never come across one of those situations! In my psychology class, we were taught that we come into this world afraid of only two things: heights and loud noises. Everything else isa learned sense of afraidness.

While I haven't came across anything that I'm afraid of like you described, I have a strong dislike of spiders and heights. But I deal with them in ways that I can.

I can't say I mind spiders but I lived in an old house. When I look up near the eaves of a door I just walked under, I don't want to see a crouching big brown the size of a baby's fist in his funnel mesh... nearly 6" from my eye. Scares the **** out of me. Need to burn those bastards out and keep em on the ground.

An idiot with a 22 rifle and a brick of ammo that's trying to burn it up with 50rd mags as fast as his finger can go in all directions. For this area guess that's it.

Hopeak - It's a great question! I think the one thing that always managed to scare the bejesus out of me was my kids and heights. I was a rabid nut case every time my kids would get near some place elevated. Caves, observation platforms, etc. Rail or not, protected or not, I still became a quivering scaredy cat. Heights don't bother me but they sure did if my kids were around them.

Funny you should mention snakes. I was in a customer's home today - they had several pets. Two Burmes Pythons - the albino was about 70 pounds, the other about 140.

They've also got 7 dogs in the house, which they have to put in their crates when they take the snakes (one at a time) out for their weekly bath. While we were looking at the albino snake their little chihuahua came into the room - looked at the snake and ran away....smart dog.
