Blog EntryMovies have made me paranoidFeb 25, '08 12:40 AM
for everyone
These are a list of things that I am "paranoid" about because of the movies.  Some are funny, some are practical.  It is also a work in progress so I may add a line or two every now and then.
  • I cannot get in the front seat of a vehicle (especially at night) without checking the back first for "unwanted passengers".
  • When walking around the house at night in the dark, I don't look at the mirrors in case I see someone else in them (meaning not just me)
  • I cannot face a mirror with a lit candle.
  • I sleep at night with my blanket pulled up to my chin to cover my neck.
  • I don't answer calls (on my cell) from people who's numbers are not in my phonebook.
  • I try not to piss off the people serving my food.  If they do anything I find disagreeable I have a quiet talk with the manager.
  • When I enter a bathroom (toilet and bath combo) I cannot use the seat without checking the bath area first (opening the shower curtain) to make sure I am alone in the bathroom.
  • I cannot use the bathroom seat without checking that there isn't someone's head in it.
  • I cannot use the bathroom seat without checking if cockroaches are not swimming or surfing in it when flush.
  • Before getting into bed I check the closet properly so that if anything comes out of it I will have early warning.
  • I don't hang my legs off the side of the bed because someone might grab my ankles from underneath.
  • There is NO WAY you will get me to say Betelgeuse three times!
What things have the movies made you paranoid about?

Everytime i walk into a room i don't know, I have to fight the urge to look up before I step through the door. Might be some goatsucker ninja mutant spider thing just waiting to get the drop on me. :))

Ooh! That image actually made me think of Toad from X-Men, hehehe. Sticky tongue, yuck!

I don't pee any place other than the toilet lest some snake pop out.

That "Snakes in a Plane" scene just...ugh.

Ooh, which movie did this come from?

Which reminds me of that episode of Grey's Anatomy where this guy had a fish stuck in his urethra. Turns out he went to some place "exotic" and took a pee in the stream and the tiny fish swam up his pee. Ewww!

Quite a few comedy flicks have this but I can't think of a single one off the top of my head, hehehe.

Me = i hate seeing any tv that ain't on. The black screen gives a reflection that always makes me remember that man with a cloth over his face in RINGU.

I'm glad I didn't watch Ringu (or the English version, The Ring). Otherwise, that would freak me, too.

Makes for an awesome cheap Halloween costume, don't you think? haha

This is an old one: there was a time I couldn't accept anything good happening to me at face value. Because in the movies, scenes like your sudden newfound promotion were often intercut with scenes of a young Erik Estrada doing your wife and enticing her to run away with him.

It's hard to this day to resist the urge to ask: Okay, thanks, God. ...but what's the catch?
