Escalators –I have never stepped on an escalator and don’t know when I will or whether I ever will. The concept of a moving staircase scares the daylights out of me. At railway platforms, malls and airports I‘d rather use the staircase than an escalator.
I say an escalator is as fearful as a creepy-crawly alligator
A moving staircase
😅That would be straight out of a Harry Potter.
My friends join me in the elevator
Cajoling me to step on the scary people - mover
I am terrified!
Ha Ha! An escalator to me only spells disaster.
Snakes – Snakes may be beautiful and fascinating to
some, but to me they are simply slippery, slimy creatures who bring on nightmares
even during the day. I fear snakes and I can’t even bear to look at one for
long. Many moons ago, my then toddler
brother went to pick up something that he thought was a black ribbon, but which
turned out to be a snake. The disaster was averted in time by my ever-vigilant
parents.
Spiral staircase – A spiral stairway frightens me to no
end. Besides the fear of falling through the gap between each step, I can’t take
the twists and turns. They leave me feeling giddy and uneasy. A teacher
remembers me crawling up the spiral staircase in school when the main staircase
was under repair.
Cable cars – Cable cars don’t appeal to me. Once again, I am besieged with fright as I wonder,’ What if the cable breaks”! I’ll go plunging down and might meet my creatures. I fear heights.
,Speed – I don’t care for speed. Car and motorbike racing just don’t hold any allure for me. Moderate and steady is more my style. I will even caution the auto-rickshaw driver to slow down if he thinks he’s on a racing track.
So that’s me, folks, I am not a very daring or adventurous
person. I love to travel but often have to find a way out of these impediments.
If not given a choice, I pray as if my
life depended on it and at that time, it would.
Are you a dare-devil or do you too harbour fears and phobias? Do tell.

And I love some of these. Escalators are my first choice where they are available. I can adore snakes from a distance.
ReplyDeleteSnakes, cable cars and speed, I get, maybe even spiral staircases but escalators? :-)
ReplyDeleteNow that was some list! Snakes are not for me either.
ReplyDeleteI am also not fond of spiral stairs. Although, we don't see them much these days but I remember climbing them long time back but the fear of falling in between the open spaces is still so fresh in my mind.
