Animedragon Posted December 22, 2024 Share Posted December 22, 2024 Thankfully we don't often get snow in this part of West London so I should be safe from being mugged by people with snowballs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeref Posted December 22, 2024 Share Posted December 22, 2024 Chionophobia is the fear of snow phobia, it can cause significant anxiety and panic attacks in some individuals when exposed to snowfall. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakura Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 I'm glad I don't have that, sounds awful because I love snow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarada Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 I have a fear of falling on the ice underneath the snow and someone seeing me do it then never recovering from the embarrassment of random strangers I will never see again having witnessed the moment :V 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also worried that the fall would break something and I'd end up in hospital. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakura Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 While I fall all the time I think the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me in public is when it was super wet outside from snow and slush, a car drove past me incredibly fast when I was walking to school and sprayed me all over with icy cold slush and I had no choice but to go to school that way. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must have been a horrible experience. On the road I used to walk along on my way to work was this section where the drain was often partly blocked and so when there was heavy rain a HUGE puddle formed so in wet weather I always checked to make sure there were no cars coming before I passed that bit of road.

Sarada Posted December 24, 2024 Share Posted December 24, 2024 In the US drivers make a game out of soaking pedestrians and then scream curse words out the window of their car at you before they drive off. 'Murica. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeref Posted December 24, 2024 Share Posted December 24, 2024 12,610 injuries have been attributed to road rage over a seven-year period in the United States. Approximately 1 person is killed in a road rage incident every 18 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the UK approximately 2 people a week lose their lives due to road rage, but there's not as many cars on the road in the UK as there are in the US.

Sakura Posted December 25, 2024 Share Posted December 25, 2024 I've never had road rage but I have road terror lol I'm prolly the person someone would road rage on because I'm always nervous when I'm driving and prolly go slow and I just don't like it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animedragon Posted December 25, 2024 Share Posted December 25, 2024 I've upset a few drivers because they didn't think I was making fast enough progress, but I try to keep calm and don't react or do anything to upset them further so thankfully I've never been the subject of a road rage attack. You'd probably like driving in my area because our council decided to impose a 20MPH speed limit across the whole borough, so driving is quite leisurely, but it upsets some types of road users and I've been overtaken in quite dangerous ways, one day there's going to be a fatal head-on collision caused by impatient drivers.

Animedragon Posted December 26, 2024 Share Posted December 26, 2024 That doesn't surprise me the way some people act. I've seen lots of people step out into the road and too busy looking at their phones to check for oncoming traffic. Only yesterday I had a biker turn in front of me instead of after I'd cleared the junction, fortunately I have good reactions and my car has good brakes. The guy had to decency to look shocked and give me a smile and a friendly wave, I think he realised how close he came to spending Christmas Day in a hospital bed.
