    Thunder storms.
    hate the thunder, love the lightning. One of the best things I ever watched was a thunderstorm over the TV tower in Tokyo from the nth floor of a hotel with a bottle of whiskey. Had I been able to hear the storm, chances are I would have been under the sheets.

    I've realised lately that I kind of like that feeling of being a bit creeped out. Not full-on scared, just that shuddery feeling. Does this happen to anyone else or am I truly a weirdo? I sometimes look at photos of things that creep me out as a means of entertainment. Okay I am a weirdo.

    So, the main things that creep me out but I can't stop looking at the are:
    1) giant rabbits
    2) pictures of bats faces, close up
    3) images that come up when you google 'trypophobia'

    Anyone out there??

    You absolute beast :(:(:(

    Get out of that ship before it lists to 45 degrees, after that it is the point of no return.

    Rumour has it the captain of the Titanic died because he went back for his protractor..

    Unattractive naked people.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Me too! Don't ever watch Adrift- most of the film was from the point of view of the people trapped in the water with the hull of their inaccessible yacht curving out above them...shudder!

    On a kinda related note, large dams like this one http://www.hydro.com.au/system/files/imagecache/lightbox_image/images/gallery/gordonDam.jpg

    They make me feel violently ill. It's the idea of the sheer pressure of the water. I also really hate the idea of the wall on the water side, sinking down into the dark with god knows what lurking around it...

    Does anyone else get this with certain songs. The Cure's Wrong Number has this effect on me, it's that weird synth they use but there is some fascination, I can't turn it off straight away although I always do eventually.

    Like someone said about being beside big ships, I feel the same about harbours.and piers. I'm with water in general but just something about the drop off a pier. Also when trains go through a platform I'm waiting at without stopping, I have to look away

    Oh god, that picture of the dam freaked me out a bit too. It gives me a bit of a world-ending disastery feary feeling (great English)

    My Uber religious neighbour who hates me for the lifestyle I live. Totally creepy guy but endless source of fascination and amusement as to how weird he is going to get next. Chanting and flicking holy water into my garden over the fence was one of my favorites. Actually the Uber religious in general are fascinating. Not your average joe brand on the street..... but the ones who are convinced that the non religious are literally satan incarnations and the like.

    Also some of the ways that nature deals death are fascinating. Like those wasps that inject eggs into worms and caterpillars. And the hatched babies eat their way from the inside out. But they have evolved to do it in such a fashion that the agonized death of the host is elongated to the maximum length of time possible.

    Bill OReilly.

    And seriously drunk people.

    Oh yeah, serious drunk people is one for me too.

    There's so many different emotions that seeing seriously drunk people gives me:

    1. Amusement
    2. Worry - are they gonna hurt themselves/puke/die?
    3. Embarrassment - for them (they are gonna regret this tomorrow) and for myself (I've never been THAT bad have I?? Oh god remember when...)
    4. Intrigue - what are they gonna do next??
