Things that terrified you when you were a kid

[lucky number 7]

Ok since everyones being a bit of a **** recently I thought I would post a lighthearted thread.

What random **** terrified you for no real reason as a chap.

For me it was bloody measuring tapes , the metal tape part would move so fast and cut people. indeed my cousin told me that one time it cut him to the bone as a result I avoided them as best I could.


That and the wooden spoon..**** I hated the wooden spoon

Old people! I remember my mum always saying 'never accept sweets from strangers, especially old people', so they always scared the hell out of me, especially as they're the adults most prone to talk to kids.

Yeah I was only afraid of murderers who came prepared with ladders or were serious climbers.

[Cave Dweller]

I'm ****ing sick of these warnings about "unattended packages" every time I get on the train.

It's ******** anyway - it's not unattended packages I'm worried about - it's the ones that ARE attended by a sweating guy from the middle east that terrify the **** out of me.
