Fear?

[Rubyrose]

When and why was the last time you were scared? I don't mean scared like you thought you saw a spider on the carpet... I mean real fear!

[redcrx]

when i saw my 10 month old son standing up on the middle stair and i was at the top. I had to get to him before he fell. Was terrified he was gonna fall.

[Rubyrose]

My most recent was when my best mate rang me and said 'I need you to come with me, I have to rush my son to A&E'!!! I was so scared... my heart sank.. and then she added... 'he has shoved a bead up his nose'!!! Not so terrible but scared the cr@p out of me when she said it!

When I was walking to get train once with my mate we were walking down an alleyway and I could hear footsteps behind us, I looked round and 2 boys were following. Then all of a sudden my mate shouted RUN! And the boys behind us started running chasing us. I was running as fast as I could my heart in my mouth picturing them grabbing us and attacking us. I was so scared then my mate said �That�s our train� :-)

last time i was REALLY scared was when the judge sentenced me to 12 months imprisonment.It turned out not to be too bad

i stupidly decided to walk home from my friends house, down the canal there were no lights i could hardly see anything and i convinced myself there was someone behind me (there wasn't it was the echo of my footsteps) i nearly cried i was so scared, won't be doing that again!

Flying back from holiday last year, about 30 seconds after we took off & there was a loud bang. Apparently the container holding the suitcases underneath was loose & made the noise. Pilot didn't tell us tell we landed about 3 hrs later though.

about 3 weeks ago when i was coming back from my holidays and we had to emergancy land the plane i thought i was gonna die as the plane was going evrywhere and the lights were flashing on and of!! very scary indeed

When I had an accident with a huuuuge HGV on the motorway... that was a lil' bit scary(!) :o)

[aka pixi]

when my lad was about 2 years old we were in the back of a car driving down the road when it caught on fire (fire officers later said it was a petrol pipe or something that wasnt connected properly) The lad driving quickly pulled up and screamed at us to get out of car. I had my head down chatting to my lad when he screamed it and when I looked up I saw the flames coming out of the bonnet. I have never moved so fast in my life. I took off my seat belt, unfastened my lad from his car seat and had only just placed him on the floor away from the car when the fire whoosed through the entire car. I was terrified, I think I was still shaking a month later. Even now thinking about it makes my heart race and my stomach shrivel up

Also a couple of weeks ago I fell asleep on my mate in bed ;-) and as I woke up I thought two people had ran in the room and were attacking us, I screamed my head off when I actually woke up I realised my full length mirror had fallen off my wall onto us and it must have been us I could see. :-) I was that shaken though I burst into tears.

Just a few weeks ago. Crossing the road to a central bollard, a white van pulled out from the traffic on the other side and overtook on the wrong side of the bollard, missing me by a whisker. I was shaking for hours afterwards.

When my wife had an ectopic pregnancy a couple of years ago and nearly bled to death.

About 3 Saturdays ago I was at home alone with my 7 year old grandson, it was about 10pm and we were in the front room and the front door opened and someone went upstairs, so i said to my grandson, 'Oh your Daddy's back'.
Then after a few seconds someone came downstairs and went straight out of the front door, i shouted my Son's name and went through to the door, looked out and there was no one about. I went out and ran up to the top of the road and looked and noone was about apart from a tall lad in a shall suit knocking at the door round the corner, who i didn't know.
I came back in and locked the door and rang both sons and neither of them were anywhere near the house, they both came home straight away.
It was the next night when we found out it was the drunken mate of my eldest son and he had left an Xbox game in my son's room and he walked in to get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was really upset all of Sunday and even when I found out who it was it still bothered me and so i make sure the door is locked now.

[4getmenot]

I'd say someones out to get you whiffey :-)

[Rubyrose]

Whiffey - I am going to sack that driver... I told him not to let you get away!!!

[4getmenot]

Sorry rubes I'll try harder next time :-(

[Rubyrose]

You have one more chance.... Otherwise its back to normal deliveries for you! Tut tut... "if you want something done...."

I have 2, and they both happened a few years ago:

I was in Israel and there was a bombing a few blocks away. I was in a high rise hotel, and the entire building shook. Most terrifying.

Also the night of 9/11... being on call for emergency medical services that night to help retrieve injured people from the world trade center. That whole situation was so scary that I was completely nauseous from fear.
