Lol, the amount of near-misses I've had due to stupid drivers have been insane. I even saw a fucking jeep on its roof in ditch.

And that doesn't give you pause? That doesn't make you wish you could go back in time and shoot the motherfucker who invented the automobile in the fucking head before he has a chance to invent it or whatever?

i mean, yeah, i know that cars are important, because they facilitate basically everything in society now, but like

i'm just saying
i don't think it's terribly controversial to be scared shitless of driving--what, just because it's mundane?

Rather than shoot the fellow who invented the automobile, I'd shoot the people who pass these fucking retards and let them onto the road. Vehicles are merely tools. They don't wake up one morning and decide that it's time to go for a Sunday Driver medal.

And neither do most drivers. But their retarded manner of driving is the issue.

They get passed because they abide by the rules when they're learning. Once they've passed they don't give a shit.

You can't weed these people out.

Oh really? Then how come you can make that statement that those people exist? You can't weed those people out when they're under the pretense of putting up a good show. It's always like that Lemon.

Best way to look at somebody to find out who they really are is when they're alone. I'm sure it'd be pretty easy to monitor such activities. You've got cameras all over the place these days. Electronics in vehicles themselves.

Hell, take a ghost car and just drive around to spot the really visible offenders.

Claustrophobia. I can blame my brother for that. I start to panic and scream when I get into really small areas.

big dog · August 23, 2015, 06:32:29 AM

Dolls. Can't eat if there's one in the same room as me.

Super Irish · August 23, 2015, 06:37:11 AM

Anything death related, drowning, falling, etc. The things that can do this (Oceans, heights) I'm not afraid of, it's just death by them.

Large quantities of strangers usually gets me fidgety, so cities are kinda meh.

Ásgeirr · August 23, 2015, 06:43:17 AM

oh yeah, claustrophobia, but only if i cant move my hands

ExodusMae · August 23, 2015, 07:22:46 AM

Honest to god, the Dogs with Hands segments on Sesame Street still give me nightmares when I have fevers.

YouTube

And the fucking vegetable opera segments they had on ABC "Soupe Opera".

YouTube

And I'm kinda scared of turkeys. Long story short, when I was about 6 my mum took me to the duck pond, time to leave and I didn't want to go. So she got in the car and started driving away. Then I got chased by 3 massive adult mae turkeys and she wouldn't stop the car.

Peckophobia

It's a constant fear of breaking my fingers. I keep my hands in fists when I hug someone, and handshakes almost cause me to panic.

very steep escalators make me uncomfortable, especially if they're in "tunnels" and not out in the open. the longer they are the worse it is as well. when I ride a steeper than average escalator I feel like I will fall backwards and tumble down the entire thing.
