Creepy things meme

Posted on by

I saw at Elle‘s this meme to name five things that creep you out. I’ve been pondering this for a few days, but since I normally try not to think of things that creep me out, it has taken me a while to come up with a list.

1. Silverfish. Yuck. Ugh! We used to find them in our attic occasionally, but thankfully I haven’t seen one in a long time.

2. Vomit. This was a fun one when my kids were little. It was all I could do not to add to the mess when they were sick. If my husband was home, he would take the child to the tub and I would take the bedding to the washer. If he wasn’t home, I’d have to clean things up in stages, taking frequent breaks to stick my head out the door and breathe. Really! If it happened on something other than bedding or a wood floor, I would feel like I could smell it for days. I would make myself miserable when I was pregnant trying to avoid vomiting, and I finally learned it was better just to get it over with.

3. Rodents of any kind.

4. When people I don’t know well invade my personal space.

5. People who don’t wash their hands after using the restrooms, especially in restaurants and grocery stores. I feel like the whole building and everything in it is contaminated.

Now I feel like I need to go do something extremely pleasant to get all this creepy stuff out of my mind again! If you’d like to share what creeps you out, let me know in the comments, and I’ll come look when my stomach’s feeling stronger. 🙂

  1. I agree with you, even thinking about the creepy things is a creepy thing. I’m with you on your #2 as well. Husband is a champ when helping with those events. I’m better with blood. We all have our gifts.

  2. The task my husband has to take over for me to prevent catastrophe is cleaning out disgusting sippy cups that rolled under the couch or something and turned to moldy yogurt. Yichhh.

  4. I’m with ya on the vomit thing! LOL My absolute worst nightmare. I’d rather be sick for days on end with a fever, aches, pains, chills . . . than to vomit once! Sam called Sunday and first thing he said was “I was sick yesterday” and my stomach lurched – and he’s a two-day drive away. It’s crazy, but it’s the way I am. My husband just does. not. understand.

  6. Boy, I totally agree with this list but especially the silverfish and the non handwashers. Both of those make my skin crawl. I can’t even stand to think about silverfish. Ugh.
