What spooks you? What makes you startle or jump? Don't you want to kill people who do that to you?

    I can't remember the last time, or what it was.
    Probably some unexpected noise that woke me in the night.

    I was a terrible kid, in that I would try to sneak up on my blind grandma and startle her.
    I seldom succeeded.

    That's absolutely shocking, I hoped you  got caught and your parents belted you for being so wicked ...

    I was never hit as a child ,but some kids really do deserve it...shame on you.

    I think my grandma has super hearing.
    The family would all be noisily celebrating some holiday, and she would say "What's that dog doing across the street?"
    We'd look out, and sure enough there was a stray dog walking up the street.
    It hadn't been barking or anything, as far as anyone else heard.

    She would tell us grandkids: "I can hear the frogs pissing a block away", and we believed her.  lol

    It was a game with you two. And she enabled your inner monster.  Mwwwaaaahaaaa.


    I am very jumpy when I get into deep thought and someone is all of a sudden THERE.  I jump.  I am probably shell-shocked and do not know it.

    Sudden unexpected noises like that have probably caused SO MANY horrible instances.  Thank the lord you guys were spared more than just a minor heart-attack.  And you are right.  That driver was STUPID and clueless.

    People learn very quickly not to startle me.  My instinctive reaction to being startled is to punch.  One time a manager thought it'd be funny to try and scare me.  She snuck up behind me while I was stocking the shelves and yelled, "boo!".  My instinctive reaction sent her halfway down the aisle.  Ever since that incident I've learned not to react when startled.  At my last job the employees purposely tried to startle me just to see if they could get me to react.
