What Scared the Crap Out of You Today?

Hollylane · 04-27-2013, 05:41 PM

This is trying to get into my bedroom window right now, and is stuck between the storm window and the outer window:

Oliver, the hunter, is fixated...I am terrified.

Traffic on I-5! Hey, Oregonians, I realize I have Oregon plates on the car, but I don't drive like you! PLEASE stop trying to kill me. I know it's nothing personal (cuz ALL y'all drive like crazy people!) but sometimes I don't wanna go 70 miles an hour over the Marquam Bridge.

Word, some of my fellow Oregonians are simply absurd on the road, and have never heard of the word "safety".

maryam · 04-27-2013, 08:34 PM

I really lurve the heck out of Oregon, but I still avoid I-5 as much as I can!

Did Oliver get the hornet?

Bèsame* · 04-27-2013, 08:47 PM

hmmm..that first clap of thunder. I wasn't ready for it yet!

No, but the good part is (I feel bad saying this, I hate wishing harm to anything, even to bugs. I'm still feeling guilty about the ant bait) I think the hornet beat itself to death between the panes of glass (or hopefully escaped to the outdoors)...

My son....blew up a balloon...I was in the kitchen....he sneaks up behind me.....and lets the air out of it....high pitched squeal.....right in my ear....can we say heart attack #2?? I hit the floor swinging....as did he...laughing his ass off....I....on the other hand......was not laughing....at least until I could breathe again. Payback is on the way....hehehehe

candy_coated_bitch · 04-27-2013, 08:59 PM

A terrible, terrible nightmare. I woke up not knowing where I was, or even WHO I was. Total, utter panic. Yuck.

LadyRieinAL · 04-27-2013, 09:07 PM

My 109lb great pyrenees, Bella - who doesn't come when called, sneaked out the front door when I went to empty the trash -
Fortunately, she likes to go for rides in the car, and had to trick coax her into the car and YES, I took her for a ride when she jumped in the back seat.

JustBeingMe · 04-27-2013, 09:46 PM

Totally squealed like a huge big ol' baby ........while getting the areas surrounding my rose bushes ready to pour their liquid food on the roots, I saw snake skin from a baby copper head snake...............eeeewee I don't do snakes of any kind, totally squealed very high pitched thinking the snake was still there.........nudge it with my long handled hoe ready to kill it, finding it only to be the remnants of it's shell, the skin because it had molted. But still scared the babyjeeebus outta me. I am deathly afraid of snakes any size or shape or color or anything about them period. I was ready with my hoe to do battle with said snake just sayin...........
OK so I am a big ol baby when it comes to snakes. That comes from my childhood of being chased and whipped in the legs by a coachwhip that I walked up on as a small child going fishing with my uncle. Had nightmares for years afterwards. I can't even go into the reptile part at the zoo, knowing the snakes are behind safety glass and can't get me, it's just looking at them that even sets off my anxiety about snakes. Gives me shivers just thinking about that snake skin I found today. UGH

I was in the bathroom reading a book about the paranormal and haunted sites in Arkansas, when my daughter came barging in. My heart still isn't back to normal.

That was quick thinking! I'm going to steal this idea if that ever happens at my house again.

tonaderspeisung · 04-29-2013, 06:13 PM

i was playing the laughing game with my nephew over the weekend
things started to get a little rowdy for a car ride so we were forced - by threats of walking home - to extended it to the no talking game

we were texting goads to each other and i played some dirty pool and changed my alert tone to a howling scream thus winning the game.

today i paid the price - out of nowhere a blood curdling howl interrupted my zone out music at work

yikes
notification sounds are now set back to quiet chirp

Hollylane · 05-03-2013, 09:05 AM

A chalk drawing of a humungous anatomically detailed penis on my friends' (Hayden & Alison) driveway. It is really freaking me out. I'm very worried that one of their neighbors is aggressively letting them know that they do not approve of same sex couples.

Hayden is not taking it seriously, because she says that she has had far worse done to her in the past. 20 years ago someone had egged her car, and written "queer" in spray paint on the back end of it.

But to me, that was 20 years ago, not 2013. I am very alarmed.

Apocalipstic · 05-03-2013, 01:03 PM

A straight woman hitting on me at my Adult Children of Alcoholics support group. It ripped me out of the frame. I still have a headache thinking about it.

Glenn · 05-03-2013, 08:16 PM

I've been camping and meditating near the lagoon, in a ruined, and abandoned-for-decades, retro camper, thats full of cobwebs, rust, and holes, just cos..

Well, sometime maybe between midnight and 2am today, I heard a loud crash againest the trailer, and I peeked out a hole to see an outline of a very tall man throwing rocks at it, just cos..Scaredthecrapoutofme though.

cinnamongrrl · 07-13-2013, 09:02 PM

This woman on the highway today...she was traveling in the passing lane first of all....

THEN....she went change lanes...apparently didn't look and came THIS CLOSE to hitting a cute little Fiat.....which had to swerve to avoid hitting her

THEN....we were on a ramp..and it merges...with plenty of notice...and she just suddenly cut in front of the car in front of me...which also had to swerve to avoid hitting her....

Glenn · 08-03-2013, 12:30 AM

I was walking in the woods with my furkids tonight, when suddenly I saw the big black outline of a dog's back hunched over.. standing very, very, still...only about 15 feet away from me..then I saw it had a large chest...I think it was a Mastiff..then I saw it was staring at me... deeply and intensely.. but it was dark.. and I could'nt see the face clearly... I immediately thought to myself... this is a do or die situation... then I very slowly scooted over behind the nearest tree.. took my quilted vest off as fast as I could.. wrapped it around my left hand and arm for the block.. unsheathed my razor-sharp bowie knife with my right hand..and stared back at him from behind the tree...for what seemed like forever.. I was ready to cut him from ear to ear if he tried to jump one of my furkids... but lol..he gave me a little smile.. reared up his front legs.. spun around.. then took off running like a scared jack rabbit!
