Have you ever seen something scary, like a horror movie or just something scary in general, and started making these almost irrational precautions so that whatever you're scared of doesn't get you?
Some of my past precautions are: looking around while I was doing something in my room when it's late, leaving the bathroom door open when nobody's home so that if something's in there I can run out or if something is outside it doesn't take me be surprise and I can close and lock the door.
Make sure you include what made you do these things (mine include watching IT and Halloween in the same two days)

Yes. All the time. I'm Paranoid, even after reading the, "Adventures in Sleep Paralysis" Thread, I would fret going to sleep. And, watching those Alien shows where they "Were abducted" I would look around (But, the Adventures in Sleep Paralysis thread cleared that up) Anything really frightening I'll take unecessary precautions. (Although, around groups I will have lots of courage, one time on a sleep over, my friend said he thought he heard the door open at like 1PM and saw someone, and I went and looked through the bottom floor of the house [it was me and 3 other people])

Yeah, I'm a scardy cat =P

Well, I have gone to the past only once before. There, my safety isn't guaranteed. So I bring my own weapons, you know, just in case.

I always arrive at least 15 minutes early to everything. The bad thing is, no one is there to appreciate it....

Push it to the limit.

After I got pulled over a couple of years ago, I was cop paranoid. I started looking at every Corwn Vic that I passed just to make sure it wasn't and unmarked cop car.

Achh. I used to be in Cub Scouts and they showed a child protection video, called It Happened to Me. It was extremely gpahic and now I am super paranoid of child molesters.

_________________

oh yea. You told me about that like last year. Was it like one of those old 80's, black 'n' white instructional videos? I saw one, making fun of se*ual harassment lawsuits.(I think it was on Comedy Central, but I saw it on a website with funny videos.)

well.. ever since i beat the game "Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth" with the lights out, Candels surrounding me while im in an elder sign, ive had to actually lock my windows and doors, cause i dont want no Deep One coming in and slashing through me with a three foot long fingernail.

Oh yeah... my favorite books are "1984" and "Farenheit 451".

They make me paranoid that the gov't is out to get me, so I moved into a cabin in the woods. It's safer here.

Ghosts, man. That's all you need to know. Just ghosts. Oh, and anything that comes on Discovery Channel will make you paranoid. Every week they come with a new "The World's Gonna End" special.

Most of 'em say the world should've ended by now. Lousy Discovery Channel, making me fearful of everything...

I don't watch scary movies or anything, but I'm paranoid about my own family stealing my money, so I'm always changing where I hide it. Last time, I stuffed my money into the pocket in my pillow. This time I've hidden my purse on a hook in the back of my closet.

_________________

That's sad. Has your money been stolen by family before? Who?

I think my mom's stolen my money, but I'm not sure.

_________________

Crap, why did I see that one coming?

_________________
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?

Why would she steal your money, I know a friend whos friend's Mom steals her money, because she takes it to go to the Casino.

_________________

I dunno. She might need the money to buy necessities. We're sorta poor. Most of the money I get is for holidays, and I try to save it up.

After we watched the original Psycho, my sister made me sit ouside the bathroom keeping watch while she was having a shower.
What a cool movie.

NOT A SIGNATURE!

Sounds like in the movie "The Interprater" (Wow, I know that is spelled wrong), where they thought she got shot in her shower.

_________________

Oh man me too. I have to be covered so that I don't get shot or something. When I'm alone in public I gotta make sure every time someone suspicious walks by I keep an eye out.

God, ever since I saw that special on Super Volcanoes, I've been like paranoid of springs and Yosemite. Discovery Channel knows how to get in your head and make everything a crisis.

My parents steal my money all the time. Since I tend to hoard it and they feel free to take it whenever they need money. Then I notice that there's no money left in my little safe thing and I ask them what happened and they say "OOOHHHH YEAH! I BORROWED LIKE 5$ FROM IT EVERY ONCE AND AHWHILE!". So, I hide the safe in a new place and tell them not to take from it. And they find it and take as they please.

After awhile I got fed up, and told them "OK! You'll never find where I hid my safe this time!"

So, I took all the money out and gave it to my freind and hid the money under a bunch of yu-gi-oh cards inside a crazy bones lunchbox in a toy chest in the back of my closet behind the black mage robe

er...all of which are completly necessary. They haven't found it yet.

wow, your parents don't really respect your personal space, or money.
Do you get allowance, or get it from relatives?

Ever watch the one on History channel about Nostradamus? He predicted WWI, WWII, JFK assassination, Cold war, Korean war, 9/11, deaths of kings, D-Day, the bombing of Japan, and more, back in the 1500's. He predicted the world would end on 3717 AD.

Well, I'm pretty sure that I won't be alive by then, so no need to really worry.



I'm really cautious before I sleep. I unplug my compy, lock all the doors and windows, and personally check every outlet in the house to make sure nothing will happen. And then I get up in the middle of the night to double check.

Yeah, I saw that one. The one that blows me away is that he put the year his coffin would be found, and had himself buried with it. In the 18th century, some guys dug it up on the exact same year he wrote down.

I saw that program, man was that spooky. The good news is we'll get to the futurama ages!
If reincarnation is real that is.

_________________

I've seen that. I still can't find the killer in the trees. It looks like a branch, not a gun barrel.

_________________

Wha-? Are you talking about how he predicting the JFK assassination?

_________________

I'm starting to wish I had Discovery and Sci-fi channels now. So interesting...
But I saw a program on some real smart guy (I forget who, but he created the theory that gravity makes things fall) and he predicted that the last day would be somewhere from 2030's to 2050's (he knew exactly, but once again I forget).
