I once bought a few items in a drug store, and the total came to $13.34, including tax.

I gave the cashier a $20 bill, she entered it, and then did a wide-eyed double take when the cash register indicated that my change due was $6.66.

I smiled and said, "Not to worry; I'm not the beast."

@Thinkerbell

There was a kid in my ‘hood growing up who wore a soccer shirt with number 666. And the name - you got it…Damien

😂

Try saying that with the drunchies!

I developed a fear of packed, enclosed places, such as trains and buses. I've always hated confined spaces so I accepted being claustrophobic a long time ago but this overwhelming feeling of needing my own space when places got crowded started about 5 or 6 years ago.
It's led to me getting off a train in the middle of nowhere and leaving the Natural History Museum after about half an hour and I won't even get on a train if I see people standing.

@mossyboots I've always hated the thought of being locked in a confined space but never felt claustrophobic on trains etc until 2019ish, I was on my way to Swansea for football and the train was rammed, more were getting on a Pontypool so I got off, no idea how I got off because it was so packed but I was suddenly on my own on the platform, mates ringing me to ask what was going on.It was just a relief to be off the train. I nearly did similar on a bus between Warminster and Bath but managed to stay calm.
The fear of lifts is understandable and I can imagine the feeling of a car wash. Fingers crossed I never need a CT scan!

@RodneyTrotter1 CT scans aren't that bad - it's having an MRI. I kept glancing down at my feet to see the outside but was only in fifteen minutes. The women spoke to me through the headphones and so blocked out a lot of the noise.

@mossyboots That doesn't sound too bad then 😊

I have a fear of needles. Not for a vaccine type injection but rather any needle that's put into a vein, like for drawing blood or for IV's. I don't know why, but they really hurt me a lot.

I also do not like crowds of people in enclosed spaces. I have no problem with crowded elevators and such, but I have a problem with crowds like on an flight. I also don't like flying.

@IM5688 I'm not afraid of needles, thankfully. But I hate it when they cannot find a vein and keep tapping and prodding around. I ended very bruised once when the nurse kept moving the needle around under the skin one time.

I don't like being looked at is one. My line number is 6669, a guy working at a hardware store years ago was taken aback by it one day, visibly shaken that I had such an evil phone number 🙂

TheRealBarbossa · 36-40, T
Santa, clowns, bananas, feet, heights, tight spaces, being abandoned
mossyboots · 51-55, F
@TheRealBarbossa @TheRealBarbossa I never found clowns funny as kid. I must have been odd 😂 but all the slapstick just didn't make me laugh.
