Today, I was in bed staring at two red lights coming from my DVD player. They reminded me of the terminator movies, and I had to unplug it. I'm 23 years old and scared of The Terminator. FML

Today, I was lying in bed, staring at the ceiling with the lights off. It was 1AM and I'd just finished watching a scary movie so I was a little paranoid. I was about to fall asleep when an eerie light lit the room. I jumped, got tangled in the sheets, and hit my head against the bed frame. Where'd the light come from? Not a space ship. Not someone breaking in. It was my phone. FML
Today, I thought my house was being broken into in the dead of night. Frightened, I dismounted a floor lamp as a makeshift weapon and crept through the house, channelling my inner Ellen Ripley. It turned out to be the wireless printer with a paper jam. FML
Today, I fell asleep while watching an action movie. My newly installed surround sound system scared me so bad that I fell off the couch and smashed my face on our coffee table. FML
Today, I found out my old DVD player is jealous of my Blu-ray player. It fell from the top of my closet and hit me in the head. FML
Today, I was laying down on my couch. My friend IM's me on my laptop to watch a video. It turned out that the video was one of those scary pop up's. I got so scared I dropped my laptop. The screen had a big crack. FML
Today, our internet is down so I told my daughter to watch a DVD instead. She looked at me dead in the face and asked what a DVD was. To think I even remember VHS tapes. Damn I’m getting old. FML
Today, I was watching The Ring on TV in the early morning. When the scene where the girl is crawling out of the TV came on, my dad grabbed my shoulders from behind me out of nowhere, causing me to shriek like a little bitch. I don't know how long he waited to do that. FML
Today, I found out that my old DVD player had stopped reading my DVDs. I had the dumb idea to stick my finger in there to see what the problem was. I found the problem, which was that my fingernail wasn't on my finger after doing that. FML
Today, I got burned, all because the toaster scared me while I was holding a pot of boiling water. FML
Today, I was trying to lower the volume on my TV, but nothing was happening. I got increasingly frustrated, smacking the remote and yelling at the screen. My brain finally woke up when I realized I was holding the air conditioning remote and had been turning my living room into a freezer instead. FML

Indeed we are. I still sleep with the light on in case Casper the friendly ghost decides to show up

Sorry, but I refuse to hug a cobra.

And embracing death is a little hard as well.

It's not that hard, really! He's a swell guy, once you get past his cold, scythe-y exterior.

2: actually he is coming back, yet another remake.

If the terminator is from the future, wouldn't that mean he's not coming back, we're going to him as time moves forward? Serious question, the time frames are confusing

Wow, at a glance I thought "Just chill" said Julia Childs".... And I said to myself, she kinda scares me too... Guess that's the sign to go to sleep.

The Terminator is scary regardless of your age! Be glad it wasn't actually him this time!

It's ok. I can't walk outside at night without being a bit afraid of finding those pink slugs from "Slither"

I have one of those siding closet doors & it has to be completely shut at night or I can't sleep. Even though I know there is nothing scary in my closet. We all have those moment. Lols

Weird. I sleep with my closet doors wide open so I can see that there's nothing hiding in there.
