Especially the kind with eyes that open and close, and the eyes are missing.

When you go to a restaurant and order fish and you get a whole fish with the head on.

Gas station bathrooms.

A giant sized pickup truck with tractor worthy tires, never hauled any cargo except a flag collection, and of course blowing clouds of black smoke. Sorta weird and creepy both, and definitely cringe worthy.

Or, is that a category?

after birthing their child.

It's just weird and creepy to me - they have their reasons. Please don't tell me my post is woman hating or anything like that. It is just my personal repulsion of trying to imagine that practice - but people are free to do whatever is their own preference.

although I hardly ever think of ordering them.

One time I ordered them at a restaurant and they were served in one piece, like all three segments still connected. I had never seen that before.

I ate them, but never ordered them in that restaurant again.

Interesting about clowns-- I never particularly cared for them (they certainly didn't make me laugh) but I never thought of them as creepy.

Don't ask me why, but I cannot watch Orson Welles. He freaks me out. I'm laughing at myself.
I don't understand it. Maybe I'm weird as well?

Is it really going to kill you to return a 'hello' when we pass in the store entrance? Or even make eye contact, for that matter?

I guess so, since no one around here will do it.

IIRC, there was a woman in her 60s or older who cosplayed as Sophie from Howl's Moving Castle.

25. Father-Daughter "purity" balls.

A daughter being publicly required to pledge her virginity to her father, until she gets married, when she and her virginity become the ‘property’ of her husband.

Truly, deeply, weirdly creepy.

As is a guy asking his girlfriend’s father for permission to marry her. “Sir, I’d like to take your property and make her my property!”

If I had a daughter, and some smarmy creep tried that with me, I’d kick his creepy ass right out of my house.

with coiffed hair, heavy makeup, expensive suits, screaming their "gospel" in front of audiences of thousands.

The preachers freak me out, and then too the size of their congregations.

And so many of the preachers turn out to be sexual predators.

Add to this the whole discussion of being "washed in the blood of the lamb" and the nauseating obsession with the details of a horrific execution. I'm looking at you, Mel Gibson.
