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

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter

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

Don't worry, OP. We're all still kids at heart.

Unless your name is John Connor and your mother's name is Sarah, you're fine. You probably told them lights "hasta la vista baby"

I actually know a girl named Sarah Connor, needless to say the "I'm a friend of Sarah Connor" line in my best Arnold voice never got old.

If you're name is John Carter then, you should be scared..
Nilorak 24
If you're name is?

Afraid of what? Having your body replicated on Mars becoming superhuman then unifying the races deterring civil war while netting yourself a princess/priestess (with a rather nice rack to boot) to marry, yes be very very afraid.

Sorry, but I have to say: What a shitty movie. At least it provided some comic relief though.

I'm down with being transported to Mars and having the events of John carters life happen to me
Warden1986 16
Yea I screw up. Apologies.

Every once in awhile , while I am swimming, I will open my eyes under water and expect to see Jaws! We all have our little fears...
amphetamin3 17
This is what my nightmares are made of. Could you imagine seeing something totally terrifying while you're swimming? I'd panic...and probably drown. Lol. :(

But what if it comes to life while it's unplugged? Just kidding, we've all been there to some extent, OP; you're not alone!

That's a legitimate fear. What if you're the great great grandfather of John Connor?

Please, you cant stop the Terminator that easily. You should have shot the DVD player multiple times, got in a car chase with it, and then crushed it.

Then melted it in molten lava.

Next time think of them as Rudolph's nose. And be excited to wake up and have presents in the morning. Just a kid at heart

Since when does Rudolph have two noses?

Your DVD player is possessed too? I thought mine was the only one.

I am too. Don't worry. :)

Wasn't The Terminator the hero of the series the last two movies? John taught him to be compassionate in the second movie.
NikkaRoze 6
He doesn't know what he is scared of just that he is terrified of red dots, I should let him borrow my cat, she would chase her around.
AngelSpit 18
That particular unit yes but he wasn't the only Terminator remember the liquid mercury one and the chick from the third movie or even another Schwarzenegger model that isn't full of mercy compassion butterflies and rainbows.....
AngelSpit 18
In fact if I remember correctly in the third one it was Connor's wife who had to send the Terminator back to make sure they made it to the bunker because Skynet managed to kill John using the Swarzenegger model because of his sentimentality for it

Ah. It's been ages since I've watched the third one, so I wasn't exactly sure. I just remember a scene where he saved them at a cemetery or something like that.
