ONTD

crying at "marannaise."

i am afraid of sharks (one time i borrowed my friend's cell phone to make a call, and she had a shark wallpaper on it. i opened her phone, shrieked and flung it across the restaurant we were in. then i laughed maniacally for a really long time because that is how i handle panic, and it was horrifying. embarrassing life stories!!!)

UGHHHHH FUCK KEEP THE OCEAN AWAY FROM ME. i used to go swimming in the ocean all the time (b/c for some reason my shark fear didn't kick in until i was 11 or 12) but i refuse to go on a boat/cruise/whatever. my family is like "bye going on 1473987392 cruises don't u want to come???" and i just want to strangle them and be like IT'S NOT OUR TERRITORYYYYYY STAY OUT OF THEREEEE

and i haaaaate when people don't respect when you're scared of shit, like, ugh. ): in high school people would show me pictures of sharks just to freak me out. and i worked at a bookstore for a few years, and my coworkers would run up to flash shark books in my face just to hear me scream lol q_q life is so hard.

also, i went to the aquarium once, where a man and his small child once laughed at me after i ran through the shark tunnel with my eyes closed and then did that maniacal laughing/verge of tears/panic thing when i got to the other side. i was like FUCK YOU GUYS SHARKS ARE SCARY

srry im like comment stalking you but you are a braver/better person than me because i would last about three days sleeping with motherfucking raid next to my bed before i blew that fuckin popstand

we lived in a disgusting place for about a year back in germany and i had one IN MY MOUTH bc that bitch crwaled inot the milk carton and died.

fuck, i could vomit NOW just thinking about that, 20 years ago!

I hate bugs too, ESP roaches & bed bugs :/

Ugh, I fucking HATE cockroaches! When I was in college, I was getting dressed to go to class one day and when I pulled on a pair of jeans (jeans that had just been washed the day before, mind you, that had been hanging up in the utility room where the washer was) I felt something crawling up my leg. Cue me freaking the fuck out and stripping off in the middle of the goddamn living room, and shrieking like a banshee when I knocked a roach off my leg. Thankfully there was no one else home to witness that. Of course, there was also no one around to kill it, so I had to do it, which always sucks. Also, I never got to class that day, because I was too busy sobbing and trying to scrub my skin off in the shower. :\ Still makes my skin crawl just thinking about it, tbh.

Also, spiders. I consider that a legitimate fear though, because my old house was full of the evil little bastards, fuck whatever Charlotte's Web tried to tell me otherwise. I got bit by one when I was a kid, and my leg swelled up like a softball. It was horrible and traumatizing, and I turn into a wibbling, insufferable little bitch whenever I see one.

Omg, I wish I had taken a picture of this but last night I found two huuuge cockroaches in my kitchen, we rarely have those kinds so... I was fucking horrified. Like they were ready to spread their wings and take off when they noticed me just staring at them. I sort of panicked and grabbed the closest spraying item (turned out it was our clorox spray) and sprayed the fuck out of our kitchen until they died.

Then I just walked away and left them there for someone else to throw them away, lol.

ROACHES ARE LITERALLY THE WORST. I live in the south and our yard has a lot of pine straw bedded gardens so they are everywhere year round. I sleep with a towel stuffed under my door at night so they can't crawl in and it has fixed the problem of them being in my room. I still have to call my dad to kill one, cannot do it myself. I constantly have nightmares about them.

AHHHHHHHHHHH just your description is making my skin crawl I HATE HATE HATE those fuckers with a fiery passion. UGHHHHHHHH GOD. I live in New Orleans so they are basically impossible to escape and we have ~special cockroaches that are 2-3"+ long and can fly and are disgusting ughughugh. I lived in one apartment that was infested and I would wake up to them on my wall/on my bed/on me :(

yeah, once i fell asleep on the couch and woke up to some shark TV show marathon. i was like completely transfixed by it, but then my mom walked into the room to find me curled up in terror on the couch and sobbing and unable to even get the remote. i guess i was just staring in horror at the TV. stability!!!

nooo i haven't! like, logically i know that sharks aren't just swimming around waiting to snap humans up like delicious treats, and all i have to do to avoid them is not go in the ocean (or if i do go in the ocean, avoid thrashing around like a dying seal), but i have lots of nightmares about them. ):

thank you for the recommendation, though, i will look it up right now!
