Things that scare me
Why is it that some things scare us more than others? I guess it depends on our personal experience and imagination.
For me, the things that scare me are the things I can't see, but imagine might be there, you know, the things that go bump in the night. Which for me is not necessarily a good thing....
You see, being a flight attendant for the past 22 years, I spend a lot of time alone in strange hotel rooms. Of course, the urban legends we were told when we started flying didn't help. Seems there was a flight attendant who didn't show up downstairs to be picked up with the rest of the crew. The captain called her room and she said she was having trouble finding her one shoe. The captain went up and helped her look. He started opening the drawers (which we never use on overnight trips) and in one of the drawers, there was her shoe....along with a note that said "thanks for letting me watch you sleep". Yikes! that one still gives me goosebumps.
- I loved it! Post again. You have a cool job, you should tell us about it.
- Hmm, I've often wondered that myself. I am deathly afraid of most types of bugs and needles, but and yet I can handle snakes and the notion of the world ending. It seems where we place our fears is kinda messed up sometimes.
- Loved the flight attendant story! Good and creepy. The film that scared me the most recently was "Juon" (remade in the U.S. as "The Grudge"). The creepiest moments where when the ghost boy was watching someone who was unaware that he was there. C R E E P Y !
- I'm deathly frightened of cockroaches, I can't even sweep them up when my partner has killed one. I once picked up my phone as it was ringing just as I was opening my fly screen and in slow motion I saw a crockroach fly in past my head and as I brought the phone up I squashed it against my ear. I screamed the house down and flung my phone across the room (it never recovered)! When I think of it I think of the movie Bug. I also don't like unatural movement - ie in The Ring 2 the jerky movement of Samara coming up the well, the fiddler in The Gift and even the martians in Mars Attacks!! For some reason it totally freaks me out.
- I think some of our fears are prgrammed into us. Like the sensation of falling or the movements of a snake.
