We all have our little neurosies . . . things that give us the heebie jeebies.

Instead of throwing thousands of dollars at a therapist, share your worst fears with your fellow Sleuthians here . . .

For example:

The movie "Silence of the Lambs" really gave me the heebie jeebies. The whole idea of what that guy was doing with those girls made my skin crawl . . .

Wake up in a hotel in Las Vegas, see that a total stranger is sleeping in your bed and then realize you got married on an impulse the night before would most definitely give me the heebie-jeebies :-)

Nice expression btw, the heebie-jeebies :-)

Cockroaches. When I was a kid we lived in an old brownstone, and now and then we'd get them. My dad did maintenance on the building, and would arrange to have the 6 apartments in our building sprayed when people noticed them, but there was one couple, who were university professors, who refused to have their apartment sprayed because they had a dog. I mention that they were professors, because they had a LOT of books. And I know now that cockroaches LOVE paper.

*shudders*

Anyway, the cockroaches would come back every so often, because the whole building wasn't able to be fumigated because of those neighbours. Eventually they moved out, and my dad had everyone evacuate for a couple of days and had a professional exterminator come and bomb the building. When it was safe to go back in, he went into the empty apartment where those people had lived.

Lord have mercy, as my grandmother would say.

There were THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS of dead roaches in that apartment. He had to have someone come in to shovel them out. When he told me about the DUSTPANS FULL of roaches he swpet up before he gave up and called in a professional, I literally ran to the bathroom to hurl, right then and there. I was 13 and will never, ever forget that mental image. And just imagine--those people packed up their belongings, likely FULL OF ROACHES, and moved to a new place and brought the infestation with them! In their books! Because of the DOG! *gags shudders gags*

Anyway. We never had another roach, and I haven't seen one anywhere I've lived since then. I have told my husband, though, that if I *ever* see roach ONE, I am taking my kid and we are OUT of here until the house and everything in is is burnt down to the ground.

*shuuudddder*
