Thread: Hebejeebies

A couple weeks ago, I used my toilet and could have SWORN I felt a spider tickle my thigh. When I got up, I lifted the lid and didn't see anything and wrote it off as fatigue.
Today, after using the toilet, I poured in a lot of water to flush it and I noticed a HUGE yellow and black fat spider. *shudders* Who knows how long that sucker lived there! *shudders*
The RV toilet doesn't have a tank like a typical toilet. It has outlets at the top of the bowl itself that pumps water to clean/clear the bowl. But with the water not running properly through it, those holes make a perfect den for spiders which I never thought of until today.

So... what gives you the hebejeebies?

reading your post...ech!

Bomb your RV....bomb it to freaking death.

ROFL!
I've now been living in the RV, consistently, since November of last year. This is the first time I've ever SEEN a spider
Spiders in and of themselves don't normally give me the hebejeebies... it's only because I ASSUME that tickle I felt 2 weeks ago was actually the spider I saw today. In actuality, it could have just moved in today.

Stop posting and go bomb your RV.

In the words of Alma, "Kill them...kill them all..."

I will tell you what gives me the "hebejeebies". I JUST used that word in a post in Extended Discussion, and it was my first time to ever write or type it. I had to Google it to see how to spell it. There are so many spellings for it, apparently there is no "right" way, so I went with "Heebee geebees". It was in the thread about whether people are afraid of death, and then I come here and see that you started a thread about the term. You are the person who spooked me out a little with your wicca thread because the most insane "coincidence" of my life happened the one time I practiced witchcraft, and it involved death. Then this crazy "coincidence" happens in YOUR thread. There is some crazy stuff going on. It really gives me the hebejeebies.

Well two things. First, cockroaches in bed, and two the fact that because of this thread I now have the concept of "cock roaches."

The rough side of velcro. If I touch it, I have to jerk my hand away and try to scratch the feeling away from my fingers. Goddamn velcro.

UM- most awesome! I, too, used google to see how to spell it before creating this thread I just typed in how I thought it was spelled and when it didn't correct me, I went with what I had.

*shudders* Cock Roaches. Blah! I have a phobia about roaches to begin with- so thank you for that picture When I lived in Florida I always shook out my clothes and shoes before putting them on because I was so afraid they were hiding on/in them!

I don't care for velcro, but it does give me the hebejeebies. BUT, my hubby collects art glass and some of them have a finish that I absolutely cannot tolerate: Burmese Satin Finish, I think it is. I always confuse the names of the finishes though. It could be "acid finish".

Transvestites...

Just kiddin'.

... Or am I?

No, but seriously. I hate when I get out of the shower, my skin dries, and then I have to put on socks or otherwise handle thick cotton. No idea why, but my flesh just crawls at the touch of cotton after a shower. Small wonder I never wear sweaters. I'm a windbreaker man.

EDIT: Just realized that I also cringe at the touch of denim. Also explains why I never wear jeans. I'm a khaki man.

I canNOT tolerate certain rayon wear. When my kids were babies and were given clothes, I gave away everything with that feeling. My skin catches on it and it feels really gross.
I like most cotton, but rough wool is icky and so is rough lace.

Zhaylin...why did you tell me that??

Spiders give me a major case of hebejeebies. Two reasons mainly.

1. The way they just sit there...I have never seen a spider crawl. They just sit there, waiting and watching, ready to pounce at any given moment.

2. They don't die quietly. I don't like getting close to them, so I rarely smash them with books. Most times I'll spray them with bleach . But no matter how I try to get rid of them, they always react so quickly! You know what I'm talking about, when your attempts to kill them fail they start spazzing out, their legs flailing around everywhere as they scatter for safety.

It's disgusting and terrifying to say the least.

I love to say "heebie jeebies." Such a fun word! =D

In my old house, we used to get a lot of crazy looking centipedes during the summer. Oh man..when I saw one, I just used to freeze. Couldn't do anything, just stared and watched it move around. Scuttling.. -squirms- At some point I'd brave up and try to kill it, and usually did so. I used to freak out so bad when they got away.. In the sink of the 1st floor bathroom, I remember there used to be a centipede in the friggin sink every single day. I guess I got used to it, I used to kill them every day. I doubt I'd be able to handle one now.

Along with the centipedes, there used to be these large cockroaches during the summer. Not even going to get into them..

Luckily there aren't many bugs and such in this house. We get these large and insanely thin light tan spiders, but they don't bother me at all. And ladybugs, which don't bother me either.

Anything full of little holes. No idea why that one gives me the heebejeebies. The most disturbing instance of that was seeing drawings of various vaginae in an anatomy book, wherein the hymens were all malformed. In one diagram, the hymen completely obstructed the vaginal opening, save for a bunch of little pinprick-sized holes. Creeped me the hell out.
