I Fear Not.

Hey people. Those who follow me on Twitter would have seen my tweet about the post I was initially going to put up being too serious so I made like Obama and flipped the script. Let’s have some fun today.. you know, break the rules, skip the categories and just talk. What do I want to talk about. Well, There’s something I’ve had in mind for a while and since this week has been mostly about you guys, the comments and feedback, I’ll just share my thoughts and see what y’all think about it.

Let’s talk about our fears.

No, I’m not talking about the deep kinda stuff like your fear of never getting married or not having kids. I’m basically just freestyling here, so lets keep it simple and short too.

To the fellas reading this, have you ever been with your lady, you know, kicking it, having fun and all of a sudden, some sugar-high cockroach decides to dull your shine by making a grand entrance into your room? I’m saying, like you’re approaching second base and the low down dirty thing decides to test-run its new pair of wings gliding from one end of the room to the other.

That has probably happened a few times to a few people here right? So, five out of six times, in such situations, the MAN would probably take control, depending on how ghetto you are, you either swap the mo-fo with the back of your hands, pick a shoe or run to go get a bug spray. Whichever way you decide, my point is, the MAN handles the situation.. yeah?

Ok, hold that thought…

Picture the same scene above but replace the roach from Uncle Joe’s apartment with any member of Ratatouille’s gangster looking fam. Yup, a rat. It decides to get an afternoon snack somewhere in your room while you’re getting your freak on. Your chic sees it and freaks out on you. Once again, the seemingly logical thing to do here will be to show yourself as the alpha male that you are and move swiftly lifting your chic with one hand and using the pinkie toe on your left leg to pin Jerry the rat by its tail. Right?

WRONG.

Hi, my name is Toolsman and I hate roaches so much, they scare me…. well, for the first few seconds I come across them. Then I go all gangster and do the stuff I described above. Yes. Seriously. I also hate snakes. Like totally. But if you must know I have a pet spider.. no, not on my iPad.. like a real one.. Oscar..

Anyways, this one is for all of us who rap along with Rick Ross talking about Big Meech and Larry Hoover. Yeah … Yeah, we know… Let’s see how many of you guys can open up and publicly admit to getting scared sh*tles of certain things. Use the comment box and speak your mind, you never know, it might just save your life.

    I kept refreshing the page!

    Changing your mind at the last minute isn't always good,you should've gone ahead with the 'too serious' post…I don't wanna talk about roaches/rodents. :(

    I'm not afraid of insects,I HATE them. Like I run out of my room and start to pray/cry/scream. And I can't even look a snake in the eye…a picture snake.

  9. Ms_Anee says:

    I'm also scared of electric shock. Like there was a time I couldn't touch any fridge or light switch without a stick. I don't know who has put my name in Sango's calabash. HELP!!!!!

  21. Honey_wealth says:

    CHICKENS!!! I just don't get the eyes and feathers and wings. i need to be at least 7 feet from them to be comfortable.

  22. Ho ho ho! says:

    I'm scared of being in enclosed spaces (claustrophobia) , I'm scared of birds and fishes (I still believe there's something diabolical about them). Heck, if it's living and it's neither human or from the dog family, I will freak out! & I'm scared of walking on grass *cringe*.

  23. shydiva says:

    -___- …no offence intended,but I still don't get the fuss about @toolsman's posts. I can barely read them to the finish.

  24. Mohnah says:

    I'm mildly claustrophobic.

    I hate snakes but I'm fascinated by them too.They are said to give good massages.

    I'm also scared of unfriendly dogs…that's why I bought a bottle of red wine to bribe my friend's dog with while I'm in gidi,since he likes wine. :)

    brush silently past Уσυя feet *shivers* i can't visit friends if they have dogs in their house, but other house hold pest just irritate me. But worse of all am scared of surprises, sudden loud sounds, shouting my name when am sleeping or tapping me from behind.

    But @toolsman, dis post is not the ish jor. me-no-likey

  31. Terdoh says:

    I have chromophobia.

    Chromophobia comes from the Greek word "chroma", which translates as "color", and "phobos", which translates to "fear". The two form to create a portmanteau which it is assumed means "fear of color".

    I only wear black and white.

    (Oh, and before I click "submit", I'm scared that one day, I'll become one of the 'celebs' @TheGothPrince talked about)

    Cool story.

  32. mo' says:

    If I had to choose I would prefer rats, roaches and snakes go in extinction instead of dinosaurs yes I hate them like that.snakes are sent from hell but sadly I had to kill one 2yrs ago I went to PH to see my mum and we lived in the barracks to cut d long story short one morning I was home alone I saw this black shinny thing thought it was rubber until I went close and saw it was a baby snake I used d head of a broom to murder the mofo I was in shock 4 a long time and became ill eventually. No one told me to leave custom barracks that weekend *chills in my spine*

  33. Chinny (@chinnydiva) says:

    I'm scared of penises, they give me the creeps.

  34. thatifygirl says:

    *insert Eminem's Not Afraid*

    I mainly get irritated. By insects, etc. I'm not scared, I just don't want to be near them. I really hate rats, chickens, lizards but they don't scare me.

    Cats are just annoying. I don't like them and I would gladly wipe them from the face of the earth.

    I don't like snakes. But I once played with a baby snake (it was about 4 ft and it was non venomous.)

    However, anything that can squeeze the life out of my body or bite me is a general no no (Hi, Captain Obvious here.)

  35. ME. says:

    Apart from being scared of creepy crawlies,im freakn scared of the dark.i sleep with the lites on n if deres no power of any sort,i use my fone torch! thank God for those.

  36. Jasmine says:

    Snakes and all crawling insects esp when they are in a 'pack'. I've never watched Anaconda, Snakes on a plane or any movie that has snakes as the 'main xters'. If I see them, I freeze, get goose bumps and break out in cold sweat, it's that serious.

    Actually got goose bumps typing this cos I was visualizing them.

  37. Arthur Bizkit says:

    don't know whether it falls in this category,

    but I utterly detest "Dead Gadgets", especially when u can't recharge all of them for days.

  38. Naa says:

    i hate hate roaches and rats and caterpillars!! especially caterpillars. i mean what is up with all those tiny creepy legs? im nauseous just thinking about them ugh!

    on the other hand, i like snakes. dunno why, just do. played with a baby viper when i was younger at an animal rehabilitation centre and ive liked them ever since.

  39. Ahhfee says:

    Dead or alive, i cannot stand rats. Better alive than dead cos den i'd jst climb a chair and poke d corner its hiding wit a long stick n it'd run out of d house.

    But dead? No way i'm going close. Nah mehn.

    I'm scared shit of RATS, geckos,lizards n snake-lizards.

  40. deevagal says:

    I generally hate all animals actually, particurlarly rats( ewww) lizards, wall geckos (gosh) reptiles altogether.

    I'm also scared of heights, darkness, being ill.

  41. Sir Fariku says:

    I dont mess with Rats bro, it will take some 'ginger' for me to gather courage to kill the thing and no I wont use my hands. It might kill the mood with the girl for sure.

    What do I fear? getting surprised by rats and roaches for sure. I dont like being Ill, being naked in front of other dudes, really obnoxious and belligerent girlfriends etc.

  42. Drpeperempe says:

    Scared of markets! I get really queasy and nervous in markets!
    I have an intense fear of getting caught telling a lie!
    I also have a terrible fear of mad/mentally unstable people! Its really bad!
    Animals, penises and all the other stuff, nah!

  43. Ms Osunsan says:

    funny i had an encounter with a rat today i screamed and ran one way and the rat ran the other way. i don't like spiders or cockroaches but once i get over their presence, i will kill em. i don't like life chickens or turkey but i can eat em… YUMMY. i don't like dogs i have tried to get over this fear but the dogs keep attacking me and i have decided that we would never see eye to eye. I am just really scared of all animals. insects i can still stand a bit. if i see a dog even on its leash, i would be so uneasy cos a dog once got out of its leash and chased my room mate and I while we were in college X_X

  44. Maureen says:

    I am scared that i might call out the name of my EX during sex with my boyfriend! His name is always in my head!!! Scares the shit out of me!

  45. MzLucyM says:

    :( I hate all animals! Got bitten by a dog as a child! Shit scarred me mehn! Chickens oo Lord , y do they fly again? and some human beings tho! I'm more scared of human beings than animals tho!

  46. KenniBaL says:

    I'm not scared of spiders, moquitoes…all those small insects.

    I admit, I've watched a 30 minutes show with a rat at the side of the couch, in the open. I didn't chase it, I just raised my legs. That makes me not scared, right?

    • Jojo says:

      I can totally relate to this, there used to live a brown mouse the size of an adult cockroach in my house that I thought was utterly cute, even nicknamed it Stuartlittle. It was just the smallest cutest rodent ever

    I'm not afraid of rats, and I'd kill roaches in seconds, with swift 'back-hands' from my dunlop slippers! I'm gangster like that.

    However, I HATE needles. I wince and struggle everytime I have to get a blood sample taken, or something. Sometimes I even cry x_x :(
