Are you creeped out by something benign..something like clowns? Teletubbies?

[caudor]

My daughter is afraid of clowns (that's not, however, where I got the idea for my avatar). I think she has found them to be creepy since watching the movie "IT".

About the only thing that is normally associated with happy thoughts that creeps me out is teletubbies. Have you looked closely at one of them? Jeez, they are creepy.

So what person, place, or thing--that is normally considered to be benign--creeps you out (or someone you know)?

You think clowns are benign???

The painted smiles...the demonic eyes...*shiver*

Now I won't be able to sleep...

Alright, this will sound really funny but....plumbing...seriously scares the hell out of me. Anytime the toilet breaks, I can't even bring myself to see if there is anything wrong. Even as a kid, the sight of a toilet with the lid missing off the top scared me to death.

Weird, eh?

Dolls creep me out, man...I'm always expecting them to turn their heads and say something...

They freak me out, man...(shudder)

And for those of you in the NW Suburbs of Chicago...have you ever really looked at those snowmen outside of the Santa's Village theme park? They're awful creepy too...

Yeah, that is weird.

Bees/wasps/etc. and deep water.

I'm afraid of deep water, but I suppose that isn't really benign. I was watching t.v. the other day (some reality home improvement show) and there was a woman who's afraid of goldfish. :\

There's a woman I work with who's scared of balloons.

Yeah amish people scare me...alot

I afraid of Bridges that cross water. I always have visions of the bridge breaking and crashing and me falling to my death. The Booh Baah's creep me out alot. They are alot like the teletubbies, but they dont really talk, they just jiggle and move there big creepy eyes.

My son is afraid of anamotronic animals, and characters. Like if santa is a singing machine, it terrifys him.
I have a friend that is afraid of refrigerators.

What creeps me out. Necklaces, collared shirts, ties, and anything else that goes around my neck. They irk me, grate against me, and I'm always uncomfortable when wearing them. This probably came from a fight I got into when I was five or six, this guy had me in a choke hold and I couldn't get out, and I came very close to passing out. Man I think thats the cause.

By the by, I never lost a fight since, and I've never, ever, put myself in that situation again.
