I'm claustrophobic. I always have been, but certain situations made it worse.
~One time when everyone was at school/work, I went into my brother's room to watch a movie and the door jammed shut. I went nuts and nearly killed myself climbing on his desk trying to force a window open.
~A got stuck in a hotel bathroom on a trip to the beach. I was in there for two hours while my parents tried to contact someone to get me out. To make matters worse, I was in my bathing suit at the time (I'm pretty overweight and was planning to throw on shorts and a t-shirt before going out.)
~Several times I've managed to accidently lock myself into places.
~I was in a car accident, and the car was flipped over and crushed in. I was so panicked about being trapped, I didn't have the capacity to unlock a door for the rescuers. (They had to break open a window instead.)
So, my claustrophobia is surfaced in a few quirks. I always sit near a door. I hate booths in restaurants. If I'm in one, I need to be on the outside. Planes and boats make me uncomfortable, and it has nothing to do with heights or motion. Cars also raise my blood pressure, but not as bad. (Submarines are the scariest things on the planet, and I hope never to be in one!) I am afraid to lock doors. I usually don't even close them all the way for fear they will jam. I sit in the front row on the side closest to the door in every class. Not sure this is claustrophobia, but I also prefer to sit in a place and position where I can see a door and as few people as possible wherever I am...
Yeah, I'm a mental case I guess... But I'm terrified of being stuck somewhere.
i can't even sit on my own toilet!!!Quote:

I CAN'T - I mean CAN'T - sit down on any public bathroom toilettes or ones in ANYONES house other than mine.
i also like to heat the house and sometimes open a window for fresh air.
i cant sleep without a heavy cover.i like down comforters. they make me so warm and cozy:D :D
my favorite place in the whole world is my bed. i would stay there all day if i could.
i CAN'T STAND it when people watch me sleep! it's so annoying!i always have to hide my head and cover up if i'm sleeeping in public.
i know thats not all but i cant think of anything else right now
Like so many of the others, I simply cannot type an email or a post on PT or any other group when others are in the room. That's why you see me post mostly during the day, or in the evenings (like now) when no one is awake or my husband is out of town.
I almost think of Pet Talk as my own personal place........although nothing I would post would embarass me with my husband or my daughter, I feel better doing it when no one is looking! :o
Same here Logan! :oQuote:

My sister read a *few* posts a while ago and went "Those people love animals TOO much huh?" I just smiled and said, "That's why I like 'em!" :D
I hate to have my feet wet with socks on. I get totally freaky if I have wet socks. Like walking thru a melted puddle of snow in the house. Ugh
I have a very hard time falling asleep without Kylie. I am kinda used to not sleeping with Keegan b/c she isn't allowed on the beds at my parents house and at home if she gets hot she gets off the bed, but if Kylie isn't there, or is mad at me, I toss and turn for awhile until I fall asleep.
I am a "ya know" and I don't think that commitment has anything to do with it, but Anna didn't mean to offend anyone or point fingers. I find it rather funny for someone who offends so easily also GETS offended at the drop of the hat.
Sorry Soledad, call it like I see, this is a confession thread!! ;) I thouroughly enjoy your kitty stories, and was fascinated by your moving such a long way back home. I truly hope that this doesn't banish me to your ignore list!!!
I am a bona fide dog lover, but the thought of sharing my fork with my dog, literally gives me chills. But she can lick my face, as long as I don't know where her mouth was!!:rolleyes:
I also am a little freaky with birds and rodents. I love watching brids outside but wouldn't want or allow either of them as pets. I get freaked with the feeling of their little scratchy paws on me. Just the thought of it about sends me over the edge.
My sister read a *few* posts a while ago and went "Those people love animals TOO much huh?"
This is POSSIBLE????
OK - for my deepest, darkest secrets...or at least a few of them....
My biggest one concerning this group is that I'm just learning all the tricks one uses on a computer. Like I didn't know how to pull a quote off of a PTer's post until just now. We'll see if I did it OK when THIS post shows up. Anyway, that's why I haven't been able to share photos of my cat, Briggs and I'm dying to do so. Can't wait for you all to see her. SHe's such a doll!!!!
I talk to ALL animals the same as I talk to people.
If my hubby and I are away from the house on an outing that takes several hours, I can't wait to get home, especially to be with Briggs.
When our dog, Rat was alive, if we went out like that, Rat would stay with her grandparents rather than be left home alone
:)
Ok ok...........I'll confess. I'm like so many of you in this. I cannot post on PT, type emails, chat, etc. if there's someone behind me. Its not that I'm saying anything I can't say in front of them. That's not it at all. I just don't like other people *hearing* when I'm talking to someone and not them.....you know? Even when I chat with my cousin, my own cousin, if my brother comes in the room, I tell him to go away. The reason is.........because I just don't like talking to someone in front of someone else, who's not part of the conversation. And when I talk to my cousin, well its his cousin too, so he keeps quickly typing things on the keyboard to say things to her, and it ruins my conversation. :o LOLQuote:

As for PT, yes, I do close the screen when someone comes in as well. :o I was on PT the other day, but not on my computer........I was near the desk. Anyway, my brother comes in, so I go back to the computer and close the window. He asks me *what were you doing?* Me........*Oh........just reading some stuff about pets on a pet website.* Him........*You and your EXTREME love for animals! :rolleyes:* and walks out. :p Hehehe. He has an EXTREME love for animals too........he just likes to tease me about it. He doesn't know about PT..........not that much. He knows I go to pet boards and read about pets, but that's about it. But he does the same thing (closing screens when he's chatting with friends/cousins etc). I don't think much of anyone feels comfortable when talking to someone and someone else comes. Even my dad tells me to go away when he's writing an email. :p Hehehe. But when my mom comes, if I'm looking at someone's pets' pics, I leave it open, and she always comments on how cute they are. Sometimes I close it, sometimes I leave it open..............but when my brother comes, I ALWAYS close it, because with him, I know I'll never hear the end of it. :p
I don't mind my family knowing though. My parents know and I took their permission before I joined. Outside my family.......my friends.......I don't want them to know about it *AT ALL*. When my friends come over, we often use my computer together.........so before them come, I delete PT off my history. :p Only because, I really really really don't want my friends to know. They don't need to. He he he he
OK, I seemed to have left the quotation ID off, so I'll try again:)Quote:

My one really yucky behavior to confess (cause the fact that I love animals so much isn't all that weird, to you guys, anyway):
I eat ice cream every night and then lick my bowl clean:p
AAUGH!!!! So if that makes you squeamish, be sure to BYOB when you come to my house (Bring Your Own Bowl, of course)
Teehee guess i will confess
*forgive me PT for i have sinned* (No offence anyone)
#1 i have had a crush on the same friend since high school that only one person knows about.
#2 i dont sleep well at all, and i have to know where Yumi cat is before going to bed (she is usualy on the end of my bed) but if she isnt i feel guilty and go and search the house for her and invite her to sleep on the end of my bed.
#3 uh on occasion i have let the dogs eat off my fork *crazy i know*
#4 i leave the radio on for the dogs if i go out , even if it is only for a short while.because i realy do think they would like to listen to the music and talk back radio.
#5 Ummm, i have not "come out" so to speak (only 1 friend knows) i just have not found the "right" moment
#6 i hate Sundays that are too wet for dog training of anysort and the dogs spend the morning in the dog trailers (whilst the hoomans sit in the club rooms and gossip and drink coffee)
i think that is all for now, but i am sure i will think of more later
I love to eat Condensed Milk straight out of the can
I am addicted to the cartoon "Pinky & The Brain"
My husband has NO IDEA how much time I spend on Pet Talk!
Awww yummmm Condensed milk i love it :D
I was really baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad....*cringe factor ahead*
In no particular order...
(On the subject of underage drinking, my parents let both my brother and I start drinking from age 15, three years before legal adulthood. As a result, we both learnt about responsibility with alcohol by the time we became legal. Which brings me to confession number one)
- A month before my 18th birthday, Mum took me to the races in the country. We both got stuck into the wine and orange, not to mention the riccadonna. A little bit worse for wear, we were stumbling about the place and giggling. It must have been Mum's idea to chat up the two cute policemen ... it certainly wasn't mine. Luckily, they were focussing on my cleavage and not the fact that I was underage! :eek:
- I was really naughty in highschool. One day, we wagged PE and stole all the goodies out of our classmates' lunchboxes. Immature, I know. I smoked the cigarettes I stole from my auntie in the toilets and blamed it on some ninth graders. Who then got suspended. I cheated on my French test, and encouraged the rest of the class to do the same. I snuck some alcohol to school in my drink bottle, but it was too disgusting to drink. I let off illegal firecrackers at the local shopping mall. I was really ashamed of myself when my geography teacher phoned my parents - to tell them what a smart pupil I was!
- I stole $15 from my stepdad's wallet.
- I told my brother, age six, that Santa wasn't real.
- I said a bad swear one day when I was ten. Blamed it on my brother who prompty got his mouth washed out with soap.
- I dared my brother to use the kitty litter. He did.
- I dared my brother to throw a firecracker off Dad's balcony. He did, it flew onto the balcony below. The firebrigade were called. Mum was never told.
- I threw a water bomb at a moving car and broke the dorky protector visor thingey.
- My friends and I used to play "Chicken."
- A guy at school was really, really, really scared of spiders. To the point of psychosis. I bought a MASSIVE fake spider. This thing was so comical, no one could really believe that it was real. I put it in his desk. He let out an almighty shriek in history class and earned himself detention. I then put real spiders into his glue stick and scored an even louder scream and more detention.
I am now TERRIFIED of spiders. I just killed a baby redback on my hand. That's the second baby redback I've found in the house. Those things have been known to kill young children and the elderly. Karma at work.
I am also a model citizen and, believe it or not, actually got a really good score at the end of highschool!
Confessions of a reformed degenerate adult:
1) I can't cook
2) I kiss my cats
3) I eat too many tortilla chips, lollies and icecream
4) I am addicated to <i>Australian Idol</i>
5) I think Orlando Bloom is really cute
Argh! The shame! Feel better now for confessing all.
