Silly/Embarassing Confessions

Claudia · Gucci

well, I think this a little different. but I'll share..

I was craving a mcflurry for a couple of days but the machine was broken. So I decided to call them ahead of time to know if it was working. I felt kind of embarrassed. I bet they thought I was a big fatty! lol

Whoa both of these freak me out too! When my sister was little, her friend told her that if you aren't covered up with at least a sheet, Dennis the Menace will come and put staples in you. To this day, all three of the children in my family (I'm 24, they are 31 and 32) must be covered by at least a sheet.

I have to think of some more.

hmmm.....haha ok....my most embarassing one is:
when i was little my guy cousin would scare me by telling my the say bloody mary three times in a dark room with a mirror (esp the bathroom) and she will come out and get you. to this day ( i am 23 yrs old) i cant say it three times without flinching. wow. kind of scared myself as i am typing this out.....

ejc423 · Coach

^^^ yeah, I'm pretty sure that's why I can't look in the mirror at night. *shivers*

fashionista L · Coach

WEIRD!! I am the same way, I will look into mirrors at night but I am always afraid something besides me will be looking back. I get so freaked out!!

jen · Kate Spade

I'm scared of cats. I've cried before when one was in the room from the thought of it jumping on me. Try explaining this when you go to a new person's house and their beloved pet walks in...

Lilykind · Hermes

I still run upstairs from the basement of my childhood home because I've been convinced that ghosts live in the laundry room since I was 3. I'm 20.

I call all the locations of any given fast food chain (McD's, Burger King, Jack in the Box, etc.)when they have certain Happy Meal promotions and find out which toy they're giving out so that I can complete the "collect all 8" that they talk about on TV.

HaHa, when Burger King had those Star Wars toys we had to stalk every Burger King in the area because I HAD to have Darth Vader and Yoda I know, I'm a nerd

And about the mirrors at night....this is why I don't sleep in my bedroom at night. The closet doors are mirrored so I sleep on the living room couch.

I remember that as a kid too. Growing up I didn't have a mirror in my bedroom, so when my family went to a hotel once there was a mirror in that room. I kept thinking "Bloody Mary" over and over in my head and I freaked myself out SO BAD about the whole thing that I ended up throwing up.

Collette · Chanel

Great now that you all keep talking abut BM ( I refuse to type out her whole name for fear she will get me later as I sleep) I'm petrified to go into the bathroom and look in the mirror.

I thought I was the only one with this irrational fear! I"m so glad I'm not alone.

esquiress · Marc Jacobs

oh my gosh i thought i was the only one with the BM fear! when i was seven some older kids told me and my best friend at the time and we got SO FREAKED OUT. to the point where i couldn't sleep and my parents had to move my bed into their room. *cringing w/ embarassment*

also, i refuse to watch any commercials or anything having to do w/ that new movie "the exorcism of emily rose". to be honest it freaked me out to even type that all out. my best friend's the same way and we literally dive for the remote to change the channel whenever any of those commercials come on.

Andrea Julia · Coach

I WAS afraid to even THINK the name BM. I was afraid that it would still work if I was just thinking it instead of saying it, which of course would make me think of it even more.

ME TOOOOOO! They freak me out so bad and I heard the movie wasn't even scary. I just keep picturing that face!

Andrea Julia · Coach

I used to push the planchette on the Ouija board and then would get totally freaked out that the demons would come get me because they were mad that I was pretending to be them.

Hehe...this made me laugh.

Hmm, well here's one: I am totally, completely BROKE. As in, right now, have NO money in my wallet and $2 in my checking account. I am babysitting tommorrow though, so that can fund my weekend shopping.

Ooh, and this week I spent my lunch money on an awesome black clutch at a thrift store, then asked my sister to give me money for lunch .

And I *always* check under my bed and in the closet before I go to bed. If I don't look, I am scared someone is going to grab my ankles before I get in bed. I am fully aware that this is stupid and that there is nothing under the bed but I still check every night.

Escrime · Kate Spade

I don't like opening my eyes in the middle of the night, especially when I am in a hotel room (which I am in A LOT), for fear that if I DO open them, someTHING will be standing over my bed staring at me.

And before I go to sleep in said hotel room on said hotel bed, I do a dead body check under the bed and under the mattress. It doesn't matter what kind of hotel I am, from Holiday Inn to an Intercontinental, I check.

Metric · Gucci

I can't sleep with the closet door open. I'm not afraid of something specific, just whatever might be hiding in the closet. I'm 26. Pretty sad.

And I don't like being in the laundry room with the lights off, I quickly flick the switch and run up the stairs. My new house has ground level laundry room, Yay! No more darting up the stairs with baskets of clothes.

lindsayp · Kenneth Cole

remember that episode of South Park where aliens put an anal probe in Cartman's ass? Well I'm scared of those aliens. Even though they're a cartoon and made of white construction paper.....
