These came from an article about someone getting traumatized by hamters and LJ users began to share their own personal stories…
ride_my_rage: we had a dwarf hamster that gave birth to about 7 babies and one was paralyzed so we called him/her Cripples. One day his/her siblings decided they were hungry and ate him/her. Poor baby :’(
-> littletootall: i seriously dont get this whole hamster eating each other shit… is there a reason behind it?
yrsuchariot: Our hamsters had incest babies. One day, my sister, who was 3 or 4 at the time, picked up one baby and squeezed it because she wanted to see the eyes bug out, but she squeezed too hard and killed it. She threw it back int he cage, and then the other hamster babies started eating it. Then along came my brother, who was about 5. He discovered the scene of carnage and was totally traumatized.
oblivious_frog: Guys I’m kinda freaked out I’ve been home alone all day and I went in the bathroom to brush my teeth and there was water on the mirror. HOW DID IT GET THERE?!?!??!?!!
-> phantomangel777: Yesterday
snuffydoop: my fob relatives ate my rabbit. more wtf than traumatizing though.
tenninch: my family told me my turtle ran away. so, can you imagine how embarrassed i am not that my 6 year old self went arounf telling people ‘MY TURTLE RAN AWAAAAAAAAY. I AM DESPAIR’
yunaresuka: lol I was scared of microwaves for awhile after my bagel lit on fire when I was little. now I am scared of ovens because my mom always burns herself in fucking dumbass ways. and also I’m scurred of zombies. probably should go live in a hole
-> rhapsodeeinblue: YOU CAN FIGHT ZOMBIES. JUST DON’T BE STUPID. I dunno what to tell you about microwaves and over, though.
love_alice: My ex-roomate had hamsters growing up, and APPARENTLY their family went on vacation and they came back and the hamsters were gone. She jsut thought they died, but she found out a few years later that her mother had DROWNED THEM in THE BATHTUB because she didn’t know what to do with them while their family was gond. IT SHOULDN’VE BEEN MY FIRST SIGN THIS BITCH WAS CRAZY TOO, BUT ANYWAY.
youwantsum: i’m traumatized by fucking ants. i was at a shitty fair and i was standing in line for the bathroom and i guess hella ants wanted to take a shortcut OVER MY FUCKING FEET. ants were in my shoes on my legs and i started to cry bc they wouldn’t come get off and my sister just stood there and laughed, w/e im an only child now.
dd_sp: an ant crawled into my vajay and i had to get it out in the school bathroom… i’m a different person now, i’m a ~*~survivor~*~
bob80: I was like 4 when the video for Thriller came out. For a kid, that video was scary. I had a teenage sister who would sit me in front of the TV and make me watch it and she would laugh. So traumatic. My mother would just shout from the kitchen, stop making him watch that. Bitches.
-> itsafunny_thing: ARE. YOU. ME?! I was around 3 or 4, and was the youngest of all my cousins when Thriller came out. So my cousins and my brother basically forced me to watch it and I was so scared!
