Sharks in the swimming pool.
 

I didn't know whether to post this in Support or here, but I thought I'd let you all have a laugh at my expense.

Okay, well, we have a pool at my house. And I love using it (who wouldn't?). But I have a really bad problem iwth it - I get terrified there's a shark in there with me.

And when I get that fixed in my head, I just have to swim as fast as I can and get out.

I know it's just a figment of my imagination, but it still terrifies me. I mean, literally.

It's worse at night, because we only have one underwater light in it, so there's one corner that gets quite dark and it scares me that I can't see to the end of it properly, but I still get scared in the day.

The same problem goes for Vampires, by the way. Except noone can prove to me that they're NOT real so I kinda have some justification for that one :p (Btw, the vampires don't come in my pool, just in the downstairs bit of my house.).

Help?!

OOOoooo Dont watch Jaws!
lol
aww hun, you need to take a nice man in there with you to protect you!!! that would work.
For night time, could you not maybe add some extra lighting?
Oher than that, i have heard shark stew tastes lovley.

It's not in the dark tho, there's lots of lighting and it's really nice.

Except when the shark comes.

hugs you
 

Chels

i understand your fears
can you keep checking it everytime before you go in, and yer have someone else with you,
be gentle with yourself chels, yer dont watch anything to do with em
or read anything about em. you sound like your now a fast swimmer.

hey, lol I thought I was the only one! I always get this scary belief when I am in pools that there is a giant whale or shark in the bottom that is going to eat me or swallow me by accident. I would not ever swim in the dark so I think you are very brave for that. All I try to do now is either go swimming with someone else (in my logic the shark or whale is more likely to get them and so I am doubling my survival chances) or just imagine yourself wrestling and beating the sharks arse!

OOOORRRRR Audition naked men and women for the position of your private lifeguard. That way you will feel safe and also have some great viewing!

:coolwink:

OMG i love the blue planet aquarium lol
hmm if i wasnt working tomorrow i would go! lol
Ooo chels, you could come up here an swim with them for real :-D

And Irene how do you know Chels hasnt already got a strap on?

Thing is, I do actually really want to swim with sharks.

Just not imaginary ones.

WHAT IN GODS NAME ARE YOU SAYING???? HOW FREAKIN RANDOM IS THAT???

Good god woman! Im shocked! I mean actually shocked!


Chelsea you are a flid! But i love you.

Come up here an swim with them Chels!!! Would be fun.

OK Ween lets get one thing straight.

You tell her she needs a miners torch, simple and avoids confusion. You dont say she needs a strap on!!! There are young easily disrupted young pengies surfing this site!

*waves strap-on at Matthew*

I think I'd be tastier for the shark if I was skinny dipping, so anyone care to join me?

;)

Oh god this gets worse!!!!

Is the strap on to dazzle it so it gets scared or to shag it to death???

hahahahaha strap ons! *runs away*
*runs back* sorry about the shark fear Chels....want me to kick 'em?
*runs away again*

The strap on's for you Matthew :p

and only in vets could a conversation about a true fear such as sharks and vampires turn into a conversation about strap on's

I know.

And it was a serious post as well!

:(

*runs*

Ha Matthew what you running for?
Dont you want Chels to use her strap-on?
