We all have our ‘worst nightmare’ situations. It could be being buried alive, getting stuck in an elevator, or suddenly ending up face-to-face with a crocodile.
But what if some of those seemingly absurd fears actually came true in real life? How would you handle such situations?
These photos from the Fears I Never Knew I Had subreddit show just that. It’s a collection of creepy moments you likely never knew you’d come across. Many of these images involve terrifying arachnids showing themselves in unexpected places, gnarly injuries, and supposedly tranquil moments taking sudden, unpleasant left turns.
Scroll through if you’re ready to be freaked out. But proceed at your own risk.

Not Seeing Spiders On My Hoodie In The Dark And Putting It On
Hell nope. Got bit by a spider recently and got an allergic reaction so now it's a no no.
I would've taken my shirt off right there in public if that ever happened to me.
I'm not fond of spiders, but with a little squinting these make for a really cool pattern!
Omg

A Spider In My VR Helmet
I remember this, he played fnaf vr after and kept worrying about if the spider layed eggs.
Should have wiped that down with an antiseptic wet wipe THOROUGHLY.

It's 3 AM and you groggily make your way to the toilet in the dark. You sit down and begin your business, when you hear "CROOOAAK!" You leap off the seat, slip on the rug, and bang your head on the bathtub. By the time the forensics team arrives the frog has moved on to the next house and they never figure out what happened. Happy Halloween.
Oh, this isn't scary at all! .....Well, that is, if you saw it BEFORE you sat. Tree frogs are quite cold & sticky-squishy and would certainly make you jump up extra fast if he decided to leap onto your bum.
Hey Siri...why do my intestinal winds sound like a frog's croak? 🐸 💨 🚽 🤔
Always Check
Jeez
This has happened to me. Twice. Returning home from my husband's funeral a garden table tied to the roof of a car, lifted and crashed the windshield. Second time an unsecured armchair fell from a pick up truck causing a 5 car collision. Both incidents occurred on interstate 95. Please be sure to use tie downs appropriately.
Appropriately is such a relative term though. Personally, I am happy to change lanes and back right off from anything on a truck bed or trailer that looks like it's been tied down with some spare rope etc.

You shouldn’t ever be hanging around near trucks anyway.

I would think it shouldn't be used so close to those power lines, but what do I know?
I'm guessing that is the while reasong they are used here. Cutting down tree branches to clear them from any risk of hitting the power lines?

Really this pretty cool. And if you have a home invader emergency you can just break the glass.
This would be good for teaching kids but how would you collect the hunny? (If you wanted)
Here you can't have bees unless they're 500 yards away from everyone else's property.
Why so long? Even if you have kind bees? What about solitary bees? Even that they are "wild bees" and doesn't produce honey, but are really good at pollinating flowers!
