Stupidest Thing That Has Scared You!

What stupid things have scared you? Not proper phobias, but silly things, preferably as a child!

I remembered this morning something very silly that scared me when I was a little boy (like about 5 years old) - a character from a comic book. The comic book was called the Munch Bunch, a group of talking vegetables!

But there was a nasty character in it, an evil highwayman called Dick Turnip, and I remember I was scared of him!

The best image I could find of him is here, he's on the extreme right of the album cover, in his mask!



I was also scared of the Cybermen in Doctor Who, the proper 80's ones:

Dick Turnip must have been one evil veggie Ayrton.

I used to scared of the Yeti in DR Who, the old black and white ones, with Patrick Thornton.

When i was a kid, i used to imagine that big triangular weighing machine every butcher used to have....coming to life, in my dreams silly but true! oh and the loud road cleaning machines.

When I was very little, I was scared of a vase 

Yes, I know, you can laugh. 

This vase had a face of sorts, and I was really frightened of it, it was on the windowsill as you went upstairs, it was an ugly hideous thing, and it used to look at me, and it was horrid, I begged my Mum and Dad to move it but they wouldn't. 

One day, it met with a nasty accident.............he he, no more vase 

Funny the things your scared of as a kid, but you know, you never forget. 

There was this song that was played on the radio, don't know the name of the song, but I do know it had a talking/accordion/piano/ or something that sounded like a synthesiser.

It scared me half to death and as it was a time before the TV made an entrance into our house the radio was always on but the song has stayed with me all my life but thankfully I have not heard it since I was a young kid.....

I remember him! That's a good one, Davros was another Dr Who character who scared me as a kid - don't know why my parents let me watch it TBH!

I used to be scared of the Rent Man when he came around to the house, I used to hide behind the bushes next door for ages till he went 

My sister used to be dead scared of the Daleks, wouldn't even go inside them ones in the Fairground    The same sister cried when ET died 

Oh yeah, she cried when Nemo got lost as well......she's 36 

I thought ET went home Smiggs , not die?

He died first gareth if you remember, he was lying on the bed looking like a piece of turkish delight with all white powder all over him, then they revived him

Those blue monkey things from the movie evolution.

This thread's turning out to be a good laugh rather than scary

I used to be scared of walking down the stairs using two feet..... 

I always used my right leg and did one step at a time. Instead of left, right, left, right, it was right, right, right, right!

I thought that if I used my left leg it would get eaten up by the stairs!

  Your right MsG,  this is turning into a funny thread !!  chats, its a wonder you never went around in circles !! 

I knew I'd get some responses to that!

If anyone told me to start walking properly I'd just hop but cleverly disguise it!

See, I was a genius even when I was a kid!

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for some reason. But i dont even remember watching it, the mother just said i was
