Islandboy Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 We have our share of monster roaches here in Hawaii, we fondly refer to them as B-52’s. I’m only bothered by the fact they’re like caviar to our monster centipedes, which upon sighting, my wife hysterically refers to as “BRAAAAAADD!!!!!!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99call Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Baked Beans.........a truelly repulsive "food". Personally I'd rather eat rats rear end. Seriously what is that disgusting luminous orange gloup. Oddly my childhood in the 1980s seemed to be rich with perverts on TV, getting into baths of baked beans for charity. There should off been some sort of "contains strobbing lights" like warning,. As I would nearly through up all over the TV set. I cant touch a sealed can, I hate the colour of the can, the smell would make me gag,. Just utterly repulsive. I actually now feel sick even talking about it. I'm off for a long hot shower 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iznogood Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Flapping wings. My wife is terrified when birds start flapping their wings around her. She is cool if they are walking near her, but as soon as they start flapping it's a screem fest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever wake up at night and realize afterwards that something crawled across your leg and THAT’s why you were awake...? It’s a well known fact that if you walk into a room and see a cockroach you can’t take your eyes off it or it’s gone.... So, I’m about 14 or 15 years old. I walk into my bedroom and spy a monster on the opposite wall. Like, you coulda put a saddle on him and ridden to the local packie for a fifth of Old Grandad. Knowing better than to look away I hollered at my dad, “hey Pop. Get me the Raid. Got one!”. I’m striking my best second leg relay runners pose, eyes on the prize, and dad stealthily slips the Raid can in my outstretched hand so as to not disturb our “guest”. I crept up, calculated my distance (so I didn’t fire from too far away and miss my quarry) and deliver the death spray simultaneously executing a 180° spin and dash perfected by years of practice. As I burst into the livingroom at a dead run with the whole family watching, Pop asks “get him?”. Silly question. Of course I got him. I’m an athelete. I swear, as the sound of my voice died out that f_cker crawled up and over my right shoulder.... I didn’t sleep that night.... *Soooo - your roaches were Joe's Apartment residents...?

My first encounter was in my dorm room so I grabbed my hockey stick that was next to me to try and kill it, only to have it unexpectedly take flight straight for my face. I lost that battle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duabley Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Not sure I am allowed to publicly state my phobia these days...however it's nowhere near as great as my wife's, who's absolutly terrified by wet hair! She once was trapped in a shower for 5 minutes of screaming for me to remove a couple strands of loose hair from the floor and provide her sandals to walk in. I asked her why she just didn't step over the offense? She responded that the hair had "contaminated" the entire floor!???? Shes the only one in the house with hair that long. She also screams if someone tears cotton balls by her ear....not that I would ever. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philski Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Just to calm things down a little; a good mate, who's the biggest, roughest, ugliest rugger bugger you could ever meet has two phobias. 1.

gcman68 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Snakes for me so much that even on the 3 floor or higher in a hotel room in Arizona I do a room check before bed. I once even called my 82 year old dad over to get rid of a little garter snake that got in my house. Also, really tight places like a MRI tube. I always cringe in war movies seeing guys crawl or dig like in The Great Escape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotusguy Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Man, I’m glad I don’t have any to speak of. I dislike stepping on wet floors with bare feet but it’s far from a phobia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goddamnit! * Well, just a note of advice then, if you can't stand that color of orange: DON'T* EVER* READ* STEPHEN KING'S* short story of "Room 1408. Like 99.9% of his stories, the book is always more thrilling and on-target than the films. While the film with John Cusack was reasonably well-made...the story in King's book will F&%K YOU UP. And that room of 1408 was that color orange. The main character had trouble looking at that color orange from then on too, just like you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
