Irrational worries.
Sometimes when I reach up in a cabinet to get a bowl on a high shelf, I wonder if a tarantula is in the bowl and will either bite my hand or fall out onto my upturned face.
Does anyone else worry about this? |

I think you are rich (bmw) so every fear you have is probably healthy, keeps you running marathons and not dead. Good work.

I sometimes have a concern that there's something in my shoe before I put it on...
Does that apply here? |

That is a real fear here in Hawaii. We keep our shoes outside the front door (as does everyone) so you have to make sure there are no centipedes in them before you put them on. My next door neighbor, who keeps his shoes right next to mine, found one in his shoe one morning. I guess this isn't an irrational worry.

It is customary here. There is a lot of Asian influence here, a lot of Japanese, Korean, etc., here. Under their customs you do not wear shoes in the house. It keeps your carpets clean. The majority of people here are of Asian descent, and the custom was passed down from their parents, grandparents, etc.
When people go to another's house it is expected that they will take off their shoes. Most people wear flip-flops here, so that isn't too hard. Even when a repair man or delivery person comes into your house (plumber, cable guy, whatever) they take their shoes off. |

I'd worry more about the spiders you don't see...those subtle little bastards, like the brown recluse...are there tarantulas in CO? But, after having had that scenario set for a bit, yea, broke into a light sweat.

I thought about today setting up a shotgun to blow off someones head if they try to break into my apt, but I decided that a guard spider would work better.

I have the tarantula in the high bowl problem too.
Plus, whenever I go to sleep I'm afraid I'll wake up without any arms. FAX |

Two weeks ago, Colts fans had irrational worries about losing out on Luck. Now they have a tarantula on their face.

I was worried about the lights hovering above my house the past few nights. And then someone told me that Christmas is this Sunday and I thought it was still September.

There was this girl I knew in Carmel who read a lot of Carlos Castaneda books. She told me that, if you're going to die, Death will appear over your left shoulder. It kind of freaked me out and I worried about it for a long time. I was always sort of looking over both shoulders in case she was wrong.
Then, this one time, she peeked over my left shoulder to see what I was doing with my hands and I instinctively reacted with my right fist and smacked the living crap out of her face. FAX |
