so much scares me too!!! 1. crowds are one of the worst! it's like a writhing wall that has no doors. 2. loud noises and loud places are so unnerving. loud places take away my ears which are my eyes. people forget how important visual clues are in conversation, so audio clues are all we have. 3. angry people. they turn into monsters in my head. guess I've watched too many scary movies. eek. 4. blocked sidewalks. totally agree! the road is scary! broke my ankle in a pothole, so uneven ground is really scary. 5. using the bathroom in public places. just yuk. most bathrooms are challenging with people being inconsiderate with wet toilet seats, toilet tissue on seats (is it soiled?), etc.

Train gaps also make me nervous! I use a cane so I tend to put it out and down on the ground and jump to that point. I also jump wide because I'm afraid of falling through as well. I'm terrified of revolving doors as well!! I avoid them at all costs. And I have to use one I have to be the only one in it. So scary. When cars park on the curbs, or if there's bins, I get aggressive with my cane and smack the car... I will also kick bins out of the way. Shouldn't be there! Not my fault... I didn't see it there! Mwahaha I've whacked many cars... iPhone! And when drunk people crowd about on a sidewalk and you can't get through? I will shoulder check someone, then they feel sooo bad and apologize. They don't realize I've done it on purpose. I need to get my fun in somehow!

I think it's something totally creepy until I get closer to it or it's something totally different than what I think it is. I also hate winter as everything is a blur of white. Best type of day for me is cloudy but not bright, during the fall or spring. Summer's are hard too because of the brightness of the sun. I have night blindness too. One time the city bus didn't pull right up to the curb. I took a step & fell between the bus itself & the sidewalk! The driver did come out & apologize & helped me up.

I couldn't have said it better myself, especially the bugs, our eyes playing tricks on us, ice, low hanging branches, sidewalk clutter, & bicycles! Oh yeah, and trains! Many years ago, I visited Berlin as an exchange student, and we almost missed our stop. I was the last one to get off the train, and it STARTED MOVING as I was trying to get off! I was so scared! Where I live, the first train fatality was a girl whose arm got stuck in a train door & she got dragged to her death, so all I could think of was that! Also, as a visitor to London, UK, the tube platforms drive me nuts over there! Here in Canada, our platforms tend to be level with the trains, so I really struggled with not knowing how far I'd have to step up or down! I had a sighted friend with me who'd at least tell me if it was a step up for down, but when you're not used to the stations, it was nerve-wracking, especially when you're trying to get off as quickly as possible & have your white cane in one hand & your luggage in the other with no handle to hang onto because the door either doesn't have one or because your hands are full! And loud car nosies freak me out, because I've actually been hit by a car, so I panic & worry it's going to happen again!

+Circle of the Blind Mice I think bugs have to be the worlds worst for me. Oh my gosh that sounds terrifying! When I was in London once a woman got her arm caught in the train doors and she was still holding her luggage. So she spent half the ride screaming as she had to hold her suitcase whilst her arm was out of the train doors until my dad and two guys could wrestle it open...I don't think public transport is that safe for anyone to be honest.

The cane can't find the step until it's turned into a step which means I'm stooped over convinced I will somersault down it. Meanwhile half of London is huffing with impatience behind me. I avoid tube stops entirely that don't have lifts, it's that bad. Also can't handle revolving doors my uni had old fashioned wooden ones that got faster the harder people shoved them.

I hate buzzing noises too, and bugs in general. Loud noises are not desireable and I jump at them if they're sudden. Ice is a pain and I always wind up stepping in puddles, particularly when I have a new pair of shoes it seems. When I was a kid in particular and still now somewhat I was very scared of hights when in a car or bus. I'm fine on my own two feet but in a car where I don't have any control, well, forget about it. I'm fine with airplanes, though. At one point I was scared of elevators as well and that I'd be the unlucky person to wind up in one that breaks or falls. That's entered my nightmares a few times. Of, flames. How I hate you. I don't mind bonfires and such but when it comes to creating flames myself I'm skittish. Once, when I was sixteen, I poured too much lighter fluid or whatever on the grill and the flames shot sky-high. Never wanted to grill after that no matter what kind of grill it is. Also, a year or so later, I blew out a cheap candle only to have wax fly up and literally cover my face. Luckily it didn't burn me or harm me in any way or get in my eyes since my glasses were on but still. It took me years to blow out candles willingly and I still flinch.

With all three of us kooks, we could write a hilarious book one day, maybe turn it into a cartoon like Ice Age. I think your fear of train doors is just good common sense. Loud noises scare me too; I've discovered I am and light and sound sensitive the older I get and it causes migraines if I let it, but I control it by knowing my limits. The cool thing about escalators is that there is usually an elevator nearby them too. Those people parking on the sidewalk, just start beating their car with your cane and scratching it all up LOL.

Back intothousand 10 it was at night and as I understand bicycles need to have a headlight on them just like cars need to have lights on. Well I was on my way to a music ensemble practice because I was going to school for music and I was going with my parallel traffic sure enough I had no idea that there was a bike rider all of a sudden hit me on my left side my cane goes flying out of my hand and thanks to learning how to fall properly in jujitsu, I turned my head to one side because my fingers scrape the curb so if I fell face first I probably would’ve broken my teeth. Luckily a woman saw that she helped me and yelled at the bike rider and I needed to interrupt her yelling at this man to get her assistance in finding my cane because I had somewhere to go. Thankfully once I got my guide dog we’ve managed to avoid that but it’s still scary because at night pretty much totally blind but during the day same or similar thing that I’m not gonna notice the bike rider until they are right next to me and only on my right side because that’s the eye that has an OK amount of vision.

And dentists too. I am absolutely, absolutely terrified of the dentist for so many freakin' reasons and oh God, I can't even think about it. It sends my anxiety through the freakin' roof. I literally laughed out loud when you mentioned puddles because I HATE them. I have no depth perception. I never know how deep they are, so I always walk around them (or try to). Sometimes, if there isn't light hitting them to get the glare off of them, I can't even tell there's anything there and then I step in it and sometimes they're really deep and I get my entire foot covered in water..

Train and trolley tracks really scare me, because I'm afraid of falling on them and getting hit by the train. I'm also bothered by loud noises, because I use my hearing so much. I'm also weirded out by rubbery things, and I don't know why. I'm afraid of uneven ground and going down steps, probably because my vision was so bad I fell down some steps that I didn't see as a small child. I should have been taught to use a cane as soon as I could walk, but I don't think it was general practice to give canes to small children back then.

I'm with you on matches, but my first apartment had a gas stove. I learned to use those big kitchen matches, but I do prefer the pistol lighters. I can build a camp fire. I think fear of train doors is valid. In Vancouver BC, we took a tram that nearly separated me from my dog. It just started closing on us and wouldn't reopen. A gal with a Seeing Eye dog had a similar mishap realizingd the very thing I feard on the same train. The dog got stuck partially outside the train which took off and literally tore the dog's face off. Now I've really helped your fear along. Sorry. But it's certainly valid. NEVER use the monorail at the Vancouver BC train station. I've been scared of escalators and train tracks. I don't care if a track hasn't been used in 30 years. It would be just my luck. They might need to use it for some emergency. My foot will get stuck in the track and there I'll be, a hood ornament on a locomotive. I don't like unenclosed heights either. I feel like something's going to suck me right over the edge. I don't like elevators or escalators, though I do use them. Loud noises used to terrify me when I was little. I used to be terrified of getting stuck in a restroom stall with the toilet overflowing. To this day, I never flush it until the door is unlocked. Now they have these automatic flushers. I hold it until I get home. I don't like restrooms in general cause I can't see what i'm sitting on or what's on it. I don't like buffets either. In Hawaii, I ended up with some weird food. I just know I'm going to bump into someone and wear my lunch homeon the front of my shirt.

One thing that happened to me very shortly after coming out of the hospital when I became legally blind: I went to the mall with my caregiver around Christmas, and I was standing in line for a good sample, when I felt somebody behind me hit me in the arm, really hard. I asked Sherry what happened, and the person came around and screamed at me, "Hey, asshole, why are you ignoring me?" It turned out to be a worker I knew from the same place, who I hadn't seen for almost a year. Sherry had to explain to her that i was now legally blind and didn't see her coming up behind me. She was really apologetic after that, and I forgave her, but it was a big shock that something like that could happen in public.

But that is snakes. Literally, scariest thing in the world. Because I can't see them, obviously it would be vey easy to accidentally tread on one. It would also be harder to work out if it was trying to then come back around to bite me in response. Also, anyone else find the sound of a train approaching the platform a bit off putting?

I hate ice, walking in the snow is a nightmare too. My foot gets caught in a snow ditch then end up on the floor with my dog looking at me like mum what you doing?

OMG I feel the exact same way. I've had bad experiences with dentist and doctors for that matter who have not been very happy with me when I try through this with they were doing but what can you expect when you don't give her verbal directions. It drive my mobility teacher crazy how wary I am a dream doors and how much I hate doing escalators but I think like you said because I can't tap on the bottom is coming up and it is and that's what I have there is moving. It also drivability teacher crazy how weird I am a broken doors. Getting trapped or get hit like the value of coarse and also because the glass I can't tell if it's a door or at sometimes even when it's open because the glass see-through so it's just not a good visual I do enjoy the snow though I too am extremely wary of ice and skeptical a post. It is hard to tell the difference between bottles in puddles of the canned of help. Anytime I find my self had a conversation with Aaron piece of clothing or laundry basket which was either in the middle of the hallway on the floor or hang on the back over door. No one should have to look into the road because someone parked my car at Pitman. Bike bicycle us and drivers should be very careful with your favorite dog and be able to disability. They should be mindful of the fact that might not be able to tell where they go in or they coming from. I think it's great that you found a way to take this and make it not only educational but also amazing.

I relate to so much of what you said, I do love snow too I just hate it when it turns into ice! But then again going out in the snow is difficult because it masks all the nosies and everything is so bright. I think if I was just going out with my friends for a snowball fight and to lark around that would be fine. But its when I have to go to uni or work that I hate it. i'm so glad you liked this video and found it funny and educational, as that was the balance I wanted to strike.

I can of course see why it would be inconvenient for you to have to travel to snow for work or school. Right now I enjoy snow days means I have off school but next year when I'm at college I can imagine that I think crossing campus in the snow will be quite the chore.

I was at alton towers yesterday, well we qued for the roller coaster restraunt and I didn’t realise we were stood right near one of the corners on galactica aka air, so when it came round that corner I jumped a mile, one of the staff saw, came over and said it’s ok that was just galactica your stood right near this corner on it to your left and now nemesis is coming but as that was a bit further away yes I could hear it but wasn’t as loud. So that didn’t scare me.

Also hate loud sudden noises. It first started with my balloon fear. I hate the way balloons feel anyway I want to rub against each other make that squeaking noise and it sounds like they’re about to pop. I tried overcoming that when I was 12 and blew up a balloon and it popped right in my face. My dog is also afraid of balloons I found out from her puppy raiser. She stop I felt a sign in front of me told her to go forward she backed away from it thought maybe a bike ride it was coming. The wind is blowing and then I hear balloons rubbing I said OK let’s speed it up here come on girl I try to encourage her she eventually did but I was afraid one was going to pop. Same thing with champagne bottles you damn well better tell me you’re about to open a champagne bottle because whatever is in my hand is going to go flying out and I almost always scream. Thank you dictate I said sudden. Another one is ophthalmologist. When they put the eyedrops in and it’s only with my right eye they have to try three or four times for it to be done correctly I hate the idea of things being stuck in your eyeballs or hearing people talking about operating eyeballs are stabbing eyes it creeps me out. My left eye is so useless they can put the eyedrops in just fine but my right eye twitches and plus the nice stag mess makes it even worse and then I get so nervous I can’t stay still.

I'm just enjoying giving something back. In any case, you'll be getting a shoutout in my own blog when I write about doing these, to show people how useful subtitles are and how I added them to my own clips. I might do one or two more captions as time allows in the weeks ahead as well. :)

+Angel dog Ice is just a pain, snow is lovely to a degree but when it turns into ice thats when you have to worry. My god thats terrifying! That must be a real bother to you :/ I live on a main road with many little side turnings which can be difficult for cars to see me when they speak into the main road so I can relate. I think thats when you kind of see why people advise you to wear high vis things in those situations

The train track gap is really scary. Even crossing a street with a big set of train tracks especially when that automatic gate goes down I’m thinking while I’m crossing does that gate is going to go down and cars have to wait but I’ll be stuck there as the train is coming. Anytime we cross those try to encourage my guide dog to go a little quicker I make sure I left my feet up as much as possible to hopefully not tripped on anything. Hate going down stairs. Going up is fine but going downstairs or even with a cane and you didn’t catch yourself in time or stopped to close and over balance because of awful depth perception is really scary. I’m glad guide dogs are trained to have a certain distance from stairs, but overtime my dog got used to that and she would somewhat curl in front of me if we’re at the top of a set of stairs which is fine because it gave me time to adjust my foot and feel with my right hand if there’s a railing if not I will slowly drag my hands down the wall I don’t care.
