I’ll start with a few things that really weird me out:

Identical twins. Particularly if they are dressed identically.

Dressing as Santa Claus

Mayonnaise on chips/fries.

Clowns. Of course. Everyone is weirded out by clowns, surely?

Okay... your turn.

For a short time, there was a young woman living in our neighborhood who had two heads. I'd see her (them?) walking her (their?) dog. I had seen this before in infants, many years ago, when I toured a state hospital back east as a part of a psychology class. But it was something else to see an independent young woman with this condition out on the street. We didn't speak. (I typically don't speak to people on the street anyway.) I tried not to be "weirded out". But it was certainly unusual.

Hotel hallways. I hate stepping out when I’m by myself going to the vending machine or getting ice. I have to look up and down the hall. I think the book The Shining went to my head. I assume I’m looking for the twins.

I also get weirded out in motels. Being in a small room and the only door leads straight to outside is really creepy. Walking around outside of a motel in the dark is creepy AF.

Breastfeeding. I completely support it and I understand that most people agree it’s the best way to go but just...not for me.

For thirteen years I worked in this fabulous, funky old beat-up beautiful coffeehouse. I worked the night shift so I had a lot of customers who were freaks. Perhaps the strangest were a set of triplets, young women about 20 (when I met them). Perfectly identical. All 3 tall and very large and round. All 3 had long golden-blonde hair and large blue eyes. In the many years I worked there I never did learn to tell them apart. (They were tolerant.)

The 3 sisters claimed to practice witchcraft. For whatever reason, all of them were very kind to me and I felt fortunate, because they were never known to be friendly in the least. One was just slightly more outgoing than her two sisters were. The outgoing one was especially into reading tarot and was often in the cafe sitting at a table with another customer, reading the person's tarot cards. Once she read mine and darned if the reading didn't turn out to be spot on.

I'll never forget "the triplets".

What wierds me out? Not too much does. I'll try to come up with a few things...

1. Santa Claus. Really weirds me out. When I worked in Macy's over the winter holidays in my senior year of high school, I used to hide in the stock room when Santa came around after hours to hand out candy canes.
Eh, I don't like candy canes, anyway.

2. Tweekers. I'm tolerant and understanding about substance use. After all, substance users are self-medicating. If I have to choose a street drug that gives me the icks, however, it's speed. For some reason "speed freaks" have always given me a creepy feeling.

That's all I can come up with for now. But I'll be thinking on this one...

Deep sea creatures

Hammerhead sharks

[cool09]

The music in "Deliverance".
Athletes with 7-digit incomes.
The average intelligence of the human population.
The number and diversity of weapons the Military possesses.

Oh, yes; hallways. Not just hotel hallways, for me, I have nightmares that Hell is either a never-ending hallway or a kind of Möbius strip round hallway.

Motels. Brrr. Traveling on business in a small town with a single ‘good’ motel and there are things that aren’t quite right. It would never have occurred to me to walk around a motel at night — too creepy.

Which ‘types?’ What do they have in common?

Santa, naturally. I took speed once and swore never again. No cocaine, nothing considered an ‘upper’ (my first mental ‘clinic’ stay — young man on meth stripped to his underwear, jumping around the couches whilst sporting an erection), but if I had a choice of drug to become an addict I would have chosen heroin.

But speed freaks and heroin addicts are both creepy, aren’t they?

Well, yes — the young albino boy strumming the Deliverance theme!

The 7-figure income athletes? I let football players slide because most don’t live long.

Absolutely terrified to even consider the types of killing apparatus possessed by our armed forces.

And I saved the ‘average intelligence’ for last. I think that, as a race, our intelligence is far below what it should/could be (using race to mean what it means and not the color of one’s skin).

I did a short line of crank one time with the horrible effect of my feelings and emotions being completely seized. It was an extremely disturbing sensation and not one I would ever choose to repeat. (And it didn't even give me an erection. )

Heroin...I've had so many junkie friends. I've always liked them a great deal; they are generally intelligent, creative, intriguing and intrigued people.
Creepy....hmm...yes, there is certainly a creepy vibe to heroin users. They always, without any exception I've ever seen, have a flat, charcoal-grey aura. Not sure how to explain it....sort-of like they are living within a deep-grey cloud that never moves or shimmers, but just hangs around them.

I've been very curious about heroin for many years of my life. Forced myself never to use it, however. Heroin users...might be more sad than creepy. They are very, very sad. As Neil Young put it, so precisely...Every junkie's like a setting sun...

Eyeball tattoos. I am all for body mods and I think these tattoos look neat. I just could never allow someone to stick my eyeball with a needle. Shivers.

Microfiber anything

a couple of weeks ago, someone told me that their favorite thing to have for lunch was a "fish finger sandwich"

no. absolutely not. it would weird me out if I sat by someone who ate fish fingers like that

people who are asleep.
I have a phobia of it anywayy, but even if I didn't, talking/ moving in a person's sleep is just freaky.

pure optomists. I can never work out how they can be positive over everything- even if it's the worst thing that could possibly happen

oh

people with prosthetic limbs, or limbs that crack easily. I don't know why it weirds me out- they are just the same person

large amounts of blood/ vomit

Okay... your turn.

I wouldn't in a billion years ever say that to my (everything you mentioned) twin sisters. But the love for each one is different, never allowing our hearts to make one more or less than the other.

Peppermint flavoured toothpaste, though I love the chewing gum of the same taste.

I'm getting dentist appointments every month. Probably to undo 10 years damage.

edit: Alcohol and Zeprexa ruins your body when they are combined.

I don't have to say it, but I feel obliged

Tent caterpillars and canker worms. They dangle face a hair height from the trees they eat on long silk threads. They fall on your heads and clothing. Sometimes I discover them when they crawl across my glasses. Yep, this pretty much weirds me out.

Spiders. Since I was little, afraid of those things. Those are vectors if I recall correctly. I do not know but the only reason a nosleep story I read scared me because it mentioned spiders being squashed by the monster it narrated the details of.

people with fake nails.

keep thinking they are going to fall off like some scary halloween trick or something

[Shazerac]

Worms I hate when after a hard rain the crawl out on the sidewalk. **shivers**

[mugwort2]

How anyone can like "reporter" Nancy Grace" when she caused a 21 mother to commit suicide. The woman Melissa Ducket sp? shot herself after she came on the Nancy Grace ti tell of her son was kidnapped. Ms Grace took no responsibility or remorse. Nancy ironically named Grace presumes everyone is guilty,

[Albatross2008]

^^I don't like that screech owl of a woman either.

What weirds me out? People whose eye contact is just a little too fixated.

I avoid making eye contact, instead move by head here and there. Like I am doing a little dance. I guess that's good... :/
