Are you saying that bad things happen in this world?
and this qotw should be some sort of sick top trumps?


dull story by the way.

No
I'm saying that most of the stories show how comfortable many of the people here are (not all, given some other stories I've seen posted here).

This QOTW seems more like play acting than others, trying to one-up someone at a slumber party -- or slamming people in troll post replies for not letting you get those jollies or habitually challenging people in mock-intellectual ways so you can feel a sense of one-upmanship.

Maybe it's because I've talked to Holocaust survivors, survived an abusive father, dealt with children whose skin has been burned off, spent nights up late with molestation-victim friends who are having breakdowns and a number of other things that I really have trouble sympathizing with someone creeped out by bugs or choosing to be freaked out by movies and video games.

As a reporter, I like a good story, but I can tell I won't get one in this QOTW and won't return to read anymore.

Whoa..
While I can understand what you're saying, it can take all levels of creepy to unsettle someone. You're also being pretty ignorant for assuming that anyone who finds a video game or movie creepy must have a "far too comfortable life".

Ever think that some people don't want to post anything that hits closer to home for personal reasons? Or that an experience like you describe, for them, is far worse than just "creepy"? Or that they have experienced one of the things you've listed, but they still dare to find something a lot less serious creepy?

This is about things that gives you the shivers, the creeps, not about listing what horrific situations you've either seen or been a part of. Don't be so judgemental when you don't know the people behind the screen names.

"Maybe it's because I've talked to Holocaust survivors, survived an abusive father, dealt with children whose skin has been burned off"
that made me lol.

I'm sure some of the people who've posted some of the more lightweight stories have darker experiences in their past. I find the misery porn duller than the slumber party stories.
