Every single time

At some stores when you buy nothing you still need to actually go through one of the check outs to get out the exit door!

Fina Destination thoughts

I’m an introvert and I absolutely loathe environments like this. Why am I here? Because you sent the meeting request ffs

me and my introverted ass absolutely agree with this

I feel this.

This has to be an American thing. Here in the Netherlands I am more often annoyed at a police car passing me at 5 km over the speed limit. Feel like reporting them to their boss :-0

It is easier to defend a friend than yourself

...and have one person per group do all the work whil the others giggle ;)

"Phone" is my least favorite app on my phone.

its a millenial/gen z thing. most of my friends whatsapp me to say they're outside instead of knocking. tf

Calling in general. ♡

Just walking over it period, always think with my luck I’ll fall right through

It doesn't make me nervous but there is a real "will it, wont it".

Interviews aren't so bad, but there are a few questions that really tick me off. Like "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" I don't even know if I'll still be alive in 5 years, anything can happen...

The worst!

Suprise guests? I don’t open my door to anyone I’m not expecting. Ever. Those who know me would never drop in unannounced. I am being treated for PTSD related to phone calls, email, paper mail, doorbells (demanding entry) stalking, accosting…. It is serious for me. Medication helps but only so far. I’m terrified to check my mail right now and it’s been a month. I jump when I hear phones and doorbells on the flipping television! I made a young man jump out of his seat when a phone rang next to us in a public building. : (

I don’t answer the door, of course while my dog is going ballistic, but the people you know would know to give you a heads up, worse is though when they say, I’m down the street or 5 minutes away, can I come over? Nooo

Not going to happen if don't open door

This is my family in law. Sometimes my MIL and FIL but more often my Aunt in law. She keeps coming unanounced and since my partner doesnt want confrontation he opens and says nothing to her. Even duing the pandemic! Last time she came when our new pup was 2 days at home, with her agressive dog. Our other dog is already terrified of her. I said that day that it is enough. That dog isnt coming to my home to terrify mine ever again. Now they are angry with me. They never liked me anyway for being foreign.

Oddly, this I love! I don't apologize for the state of my home. If they were not invited they can deal with the mess. Screw 'em.

There are no surprise guests at my house. You whether call first, or you are not getting in. I am not home. Sorry.

Bonus points if the surprise guests are a police officer and a DFS official the same weekend because the person who filed the report got the address wrong bit you still extreme cleaned after saying "one moment please!" Just to be extra sure!

I'd rather a surprise guest than a planned one. As an introvert with the planned visit I have time to think of 10+ reasons why I don't want a visitor. On the other hand, if it's a surprise I don't have time to talk myself out of it and enjoy myself instead.

Answer naked... it won't happen again. Now why don't I receive my mail anymore.

Had my in-laws drive from Dallas to Houston the day after Christmas and planned to stay the entire week! Surprise!!! They were very politely told that we were both working that week and that the kids had already gone to my sister’s house! They were actually pissed because we didn’t change our plans, They left the next morning and never pulled that stunt again!

My friend in Florida was always a suprise guest like it didn't matter how antisocial i was being sje was coming over with NO DAMN WARNING

Oh, I hate that, I really do! Even I try to keep calm now I'm in the sixth decade of my life

I have responded "no" to this before. Boundaries are good. Sometimes I don't have the energy for someone's honesty at the moments. Maybe later. But in that exact moment, no. I've even followed up with, "Please lie to me." It's a great sentence to lighten the mood and people will tone down their brutal honesty.

If you're nervous, know you can always help feed it back in. If you hold onto the tape with your other hand, you can slow it down considerably.

this is pure horror!!

I'll say it again. "Phone" is my least favorite app on my phone.

I have learned that when you first confess to the people that you are nervous, you have won them over a bit and they will laugh or smile and help you get over your fears!

I'm also terrified but it's very important to find the right doctor!the last years i have a great one and the procedure is a lot less stressful

I think everyone feels that way!

It sucks because you'll get the "may I help you sir?", you'll say "just browsing", then you might not find anything to buy and feel ashamed for walking out empty handed!

this is just a practise make perfect thing

Especially if you live alone

Climbing the ladder to stand on the roof is the easy part! Getting back on the ladder backwards and coming down without killing yourself is the terrifying part!

Better cautious than one-armed!

Omg yes, I accidentally clipped my daughters finger when she was a baby coz she moved just as I went to clip the nail. I cried more than she did coz I felt so awful.

I forgot how to speak. Can only type.

You see someone you like, you meet, start talking, you build an interest in the person, start interpreting the small signals, build up your courage, ask him/her out and they say no... The mental stake is high, and you lost. It will take a while to rebuild your bank. Of course it's scary!

That's why I LOVE big cities. Anonymity wherever you go. And if you make a fool of yourself at the bar 1) it's unlikely anyone will remember & 2) if it was really that bad, there's 100 more bars within walking distance. Try one of those instead.

If you feel nervous walking behind a woman on a quiet street then imagine how she is feeling, stop and wait a few minutes or cross the road. Give her a bit of space and you will both feel better about it.

Then don`t do it

I think this one makes most people nervous.

You did it "only" 10 times? That was very brave, but why doing it at all?

That's ironic

I totally get you. There was an infection in his bladder I needed to take like for 3 days in row to different docs, and also days later for check ups, since then i'm so in stress to take him to the vet even for his annual injections.

Even as a project manager knowing a dev needs to do this makes me nervous!

Ask questions about the person you’re sitting with no matter who it is people love to talk about themselves.

Or having a neighbour who tunes his

the disposol is usually plugged into an electrical receptacle under the sink - a required disconnecting means to satisfy electrical requirements in the US.

Pilot here, and yep, still get nervous landing sometimes

Did I accidentally pack illicit drugs and forget?

Got one of those things stuck on my bumper once. It was not pretty and super embarrassing to go and find an attendant to help

I hate that also!
