Is there anything that would completely freak you out and turn you into a blubbering, hysterical mess?

YIKES!

Spilling milk.

Yes.

I'm not sleeping tonight. Thanks. :p

I found his rat traveling through the sewer and coming up in your toilet post far more disturbing.

If I awoke and someone I loved was butchered?  That would do it.  If anything would cause that it would be suffering of some innocent, animal or child.

Spiders?  NO.  That can be handled by simply carefully walking backwards.  OUT OF THE HOUSE. LOL

Don't even SAY that.
