Little Things That Scare You

[316zombie]

waking up in the middle of the night and NOT hearing my husband snoring.

having to light the pilots on my work equipment.

hearing my storm  door creak, and when i get up to answer the door there's no one there.

the smell of a spoiled boiled egg.(relates to the pilot thing)

Tub Faucet knobs that come to a point


We had these on our old tub when I was growing up.  I was always afraid if I ever slipped and fell in there I would land face first and gouge out one of my eyes on one of those things.

I've been playing the ultimate edition of Fallout New Vegas, trying to complete as many of the side quests as possible, I find the Cazador wasps to be annoying and a little bit scary at the same time, of course in the game they're giant mutant wasps.
                                                                                           

                   Finding this on my morning walk last week was pretty startling, I haven't seen one of these in years. The one I saw was about as long as my thumb, just not quite as wide.


                                                                                           

Right after posting this I went back to playing the game, walked out of a cave in Zion and was attacked by 2 of these wasps, the ones in the game, the real ones are actually not aggressive unless disturbed.
