[Closed] The heebie-jeebies

It is a bit scarey to see that much water above you. We have a brook running under our house, which is fine until the water rises like it did last Saturday and boulders start rolling down, going thump thump thump under the house. I hate the sound.

Heebie jeebies are the feelings of fear you get after a works night out, at which you were bladdered and made a roaring **** of yourself.

Aka the cider spiders.

Them’s beer cringes

I get the heebie-jeebies worst from seeing forks with intertwined tines, I feel it in my teeth and if I ever had to try to pull them apart I’d likely vomit. Once, when I lived alone I opened the draw to find a pair of forks caught that way, I slammed the draw a few times but it didn’t free them. I ignored the drawer for a few weeks, in the end I closed my eyes and with some riding gloves on ‘stired’ the drawer with my hand until they were free.

Less so stumpy little fingers.

That TV and doing the rounds at the moment with the ice diving.

Makes me shudder every time I see it.

I was stood next to that Dan 2 weeks ago and the water level was well below the lip. stunning to watch if you are in a place of safety.

dissecting penectomy specimens literally gives me the willies

Also reservoir related, these spillway designs scare the living daylights out of me...

Roller coasters that go really high in the air, I'm not brilliant with heights and then my engineering brain usually kicks in saying "what if the person who maintains this thing is an idiot and left a bolt loose"

Last time I thought that was at the top of the loop on Stealth at Thorpe park.

The Mrs has Trypophobia and that really gives her the heebie-jeebies

Trypophobia for me too. Ahhhhhhh! !!

I'd put a YouTube link to 'Heebie Jeebies' by The Rifles but I'm useless.
It's a great track though.

Trypophobia for me too, it's so weird- it's not like a conventional "urgh" or anything, it totally short circuits my brain. Even just writing this is unsettling. Pretty fascinating but also pretty awful

(PS in advance, anyone posting a pic for "lolz", you're a ****)

Anatidaephobia is the best phobia, ever.

I thought it was ankle length leather trenchcoats Houns?

Anyone got pics of those mtbers crossing Blackwater dam (above Kinlochleven) when it was overflowing?

people still using facebook despite everything we know about how they operate. freaks me out

Trypophobia here too, there was a phone doing the rounds last year that said it took SLR level photos. The back was a mish mash of lenses and not in any uniform pattern, just thinking about it sets my beard on edge

I used to have a dream about being in some deep water at the side of a very large ship.
if I imagine that it gives me the shivers.

Elan Valley (or Derwent) style overflows don't bother me but I'm not keen on bell mouth overflows.

Or silly people cycling along Collie's ledge.

+1

Same with planes, ships, buses, hire cars/bikes, lifts etc & it doesn't have to be an idiot.

Work has allowed me to see these things made and how they're maintained

It was the Nokia 9 Darthpunk. It looked like a circle to me and not just spalttered everywhere but that one also set the Mrs on edge

Avalanches.

Never gave them much thought (other than the obvious 'they're dangerous, I should avoid situations where I might get caught in one') until I set one off accidentally last winter. I avoided getting carried down the back of a corrie by not much more than luck.

They properly give me the sweats now. The thought of getting trapped below all that snow and suffocating to death. Horrible.

One went off downslope of me last month. I was on solid ground on top of a ridge, the rumbling/roaring noise still sent shivers down my spine.

Once, when I lived alone I opened the draw to find a pair of forks

This gives me the heebie-jeebies.

It’s a drawer.

Come on I'm not the only one who remembers the Heebeegeebees.
