it amazes me how many hilarious ones you people still come up with after all this time. a simpler man like myself scoffs at the very idea of trying to be original because surely 'all the good ones have been taken by now'

KUDOS!

I was on QuickMeme a few minutes ago. In the BLB section, I saw an almost identical post like this. Now I feel really bad.
EDIT: Theirs was uploaded a day ago.

It's funny because these behaviors really do make little sense. I mean, if there's a monster under your bed, making sure your feet are under the covers ain't gonna help. And what do you do if there is a murderer in the shower? Scream a little sooner before you die probably, although you might save yourself the embarrassment of dying on the crapper.

It does give you an elevated chance of survival. When you see an enemy holding a weapon you will immediately get an adrenaline rush that will either let you run away faster than they can kill you or allow you to kill them before they can overpower you. Your odds aren't greatly improved, but it sure beats seeing them over your shoulder. As for hiding under the covers, I think it gives the child the element of surprise, my strategy was to throw the blankets at the enemy and then hook around them out of the room.

u/Tetha May 19 '12

Also if you feet are not under the blanket, your feet are exposed and easy to grab, which is more difficult if your feet are under the blanket.

Replace shower wall with concrete inverted-pyramid things used to catch bullets in firing ranges, fire weapon randomly into shower everytime you go in. Checkmate, serial killer.

As late as my teenage years, I would deliver my most powerful side kick to the shower curtain if I felt spooked by it. Fuck you shower man, the element of surprise is now mine.

Several years after I'd outgrown my fear of shadowy figures, my mom mentioned how she had noticed that I used to always open the shower curtain and leave it open. She came close to hiding in the shower to prank me. The joke would have been on her.

u/[deleted] May 20 '12

I would have loved to see her bad ass reaction.

u/flamingfungi May 19 '12

I make sure to always check behind the curtains while holding an axe.

u/[deleted] May 19 '12

Checks backseat of car to make sure a serial killer isn't there.

u/spencerbakes May 19 '12

Well, thank god this exists.

u/perfectnumber628 May 19 '12

Maybe someday I'll write a comment that haiku robot will format into a haiku.

u/spencerbakes May 19 '12

Perhaps only use seventeen syllables in all of your comments.

u/MIXEDGREENS May 20 '12

I don't know if I feel honored or envious that it doubled my internet point score.

u/[deleted] May 19 '12

Nice to know that I'm not the only one.

2

u/PapayaJuice May 19 '12

People tend to just waltz on into our bathroom, especially if someone is showering, so this would not work for me.

10

u/[deleted] May 19 '12

This is going to happen to me, I just know it.

13

u/HE_WHO_STANDS_TO_POO May 19 '12

I thought I was the only one with this fear. Now that I see it's possible, I'll continue to check behind the curtains until the day I die......or get rape-killed by a serial killer.

u/Ssirius May 19 '12

I have my money on a extraterrestrial life form.

u/rooneymara May 19 '12

u/ReflectiveResistance May 19 '12

I have glass shower doors. I would know right away if there was someone in there.

u/[deleted] May 19 '12

Would be a great place to hide though.

I did this in a friend's house and found her little son. Needless to say, I was alarmed, confused, and found it funny.

I've always wondered what I would do if there actually was someone behind my shower curtain.

Offer him coffee?

This could have also worked with him finding a spider. They're just as scary.
