QotD: This Totally Freaks Me Out
Do you have any phobias?
Submitted by Amirul B Ruslan.
When I was a kid I had a fear of calling people on the phone. I remember once my stepmom asked me to call the avon lady and i almost made myself sick with panic before i finally just lied and told her i did it and that there was no answer. When I bought my first car from a friend of the family, I was too nervous to call him until finally i made up a flow chart of how the conversation would go... the 'if yes, then say: XYZ' variety. I never ordered pizzas or called for information, even as a teenager.
I spent a few years around college struggling with this before I found myself in the professional environment where i basically had to get over it or get nothing done. I still have moments of panic when I'm calling people for the first time (which i put off until i absolutely can't anymore), or even when answering the phone if i'm not in the 'mood' to do it. I almost never check voice mail, I just delete the messages as soon as they start playing. it's like I'll find something terrible there, so i just don't go looking.
is that the weirdest shit you've ever heard, or what?
haha apparently i have a condition!

And now, one sentence too many . . .
Could have cured all this a couple years earlier with some nasty sex a la Aerosmith.
It's only nasty if the firemen show up.
I'm just going to leave my comment there.

lava: i don't know what that is, but i think it's a type of mustache/sideburn combo and i don't get what it has to do with donkeys
