James. Posted 18 May 2007 Posted 18 May 2007 Can't stand them. Wouldn't say I suffered from arachnophobia but they do scare the shit out of me Saw some absolute monsters in Thailand - the sort of spiders that if you stamped on they'd probably just tense up, shrug you off and eat you. As for the weirdest phobia I have a friend who is absolutely terrified of balloons. I thought she was making it up but then we had a party for my girlfriend, I blew up a couple and she had to leave the room. No shit. Bizarre.
Daggers Posted 18 May 2007 Posted 18 May 2007 My wife is scared of anything claustrophobic...which made her great fun to be with when we went into the caves at Cheddar Gorge. She can't watch any underwater scene in films either so she really didn't enjoy The Abyss or The Deep. My sister-in-law is scared of fish; there's a big fish tank in the middle of the shopping centre in Nottingham and she has to walk by while averting her gaze. She bangs into people a lot. The weirdest is one held by a girl I was at Uni with: She is scared of holes. She can't eat any food with holes in. We were at a great Sunderland curry house one night, all of a sudden - screams and hysterics. She had to be taken home shaking and in floods of tears ~ her chicken tikka had skewer holes in it. Mental.

Alexikokopops Posted 18 May 2007 Posted 18 May 2007 My friend really can't cope if you stick a sticker on her, ha. Fun.

Joe. Posted 18 May 2007 Posted 18 May 2007 Forgive my ignorance but what's an EMO? Taken from urban Dictionary, An entire subculture of people (usually angsty teens) with a fake personality. The concept of Emo is actually a vicious cycle that never ends, to the utter failing of humanity, and it goes something like this: 1. Girls say they like "sensitive guys" (lie) 2. Guy finds out, so he listens to faggy emo music and dresses like a dork so chicks will see that he is sensitive and not afraid to express himself (lie). He dyes his hair black, wraps himself in a stupid looking scarf, develops an eating disorder, and rants about how "nobody understands". 3. Now an emo guy, he meets Emo chick and they start dating, talking about how their well-off suburban lifestyles are terrible and depressing (lie) 4. Emo guy is just too much of a pussy. His penis is too small, he's too depressed to bathe, and has more mood swings than emo chick, and he doesn't even have a menstrual cycle. Emo chick dumps him, saying "It's not you, it's me." (lie) as she drives off with Wayne, the school jock and captain of the football team. 5. Emo guy goes home and cries, proceeds to write a weak song and strum a single string on his acoustic guitar. Another emo chick sees how he is so in touch with his feelings, and the cycle continues. This is the sad truth of the emo lifestyle/music, and now that I look at how pathetic it really is, maybe the emos DO have something to cry about! When she sees how sensitive and emo I have become, she'll definately go out with me!
potter3 Posted 18 May 2007 Posted 18 May 2007 Boviphobia I swear. I just hate there bloodshot eyes And they tend to walk up too menacingly. Even the normal ones without horns <_< Have to get a bog stick and wave it around or something Am I weird?
Bert Posted 18 May 2007 Posted 18 May 2007 Forgive my ignorance but what's an EMO? Prime (ish) example.
Geo V Posted 18 May 2007 Posted 18 May 2007 Im OK with any animal, insect or even humanoid but Im just OK with heights. The odd time I thought I was OK with a particular height until I almost lose it
Finnegan Posted 18 May 2007 Posted 18 May 2007 Prime (ish) example. Narh, bad example. That's very Americanised - back from the emo/geek movement that saw the likes of Weezer and Jimmy Eat World rise to prominance years ago. Nowadays, in this country, emo's quite different. Think My Chemical Romance, fringes over one eye, feathered black hair and pink highlights. Tight jeans, black hoodies, eye liner et all.

lookwhaticando Posted 18 May 2007 Posted 18 May 2007 I once saw a large gathering of scary Emo kids in the city centre one day. Frightening. They're made all the scarier looking by sucking on dummies. What's that all about? 90% of them were scary-thin legged girls wearing the tightest possible leggings or blokes in jeans so tight they must take half an hour to get into or out of. Such ugly bastards, every single one of them.

I know someone who has a phobia about balloons especially when they've gone a bit flat. I also knew a girl who couldn't stand mushrooms, real ones, pot ones, growing ones if you went for a meal and someone had discernible mushrooms on their plate, like on a pizza she had to leave.
Daggers Posted 19 May 2007 Posted 19 May 2007 Brum centre has herds of emo/goth kids milling around like doleful cows with a knowledge of their own fate. I don't mind them at all - the alternative is for them to be assholes in sportswear or teen alcoholics, both of which are a far bigger pain in the arse. Of course, they could just be individuals instead of adopting group mentalities...but people aren't very good at that kind of thing (Ref: LCFC forum)
Fez of Mahrez Posted 19 May 2007 Posted 19 May 2007 Emo is like chav. It's just a term that used to mean something but now has been picked up by the national media and is instead used by people to describe a large cross-section of young society that dress differently to them.
