Toys that scare the cr*p outta you....

I bought my son (he is 4) a new toy. It is a talking piggy bank that has huge plastic coins you can put into it and it talks to you.

Now, being that this is a new toy, I am not familiar with all of the stuff it does.

For example, if you ignore it for a while, it loudly says, "Let's play!!!!" and plays music.

This little %^%$%%^&^&er was on my desk and nearly gave me a coronary! Here I am, sitting in a quiet house, in the dark, and this little ^&^*^^%$% scares the cr*p outta me by wildly singing and ordering me to play.

    Jesus Shay, it sounds like you've got a 'chucky-doll' on your hands, just your description of the beast scares the crap out of me...

    Ha. I was going to say the same thing. Sounds like a Chucky doll to me Shay. I'd say, tell your son you can't find the doll and throw it as far away as you can.

    I chat in Yahoo and I have a program called Yahelite on the
    "bedroom" computer. It has a separate voice module that has
    to be closed along with the program. (Most of the time it disconnects
    all by itself after a minute or two.) One night all the regs had left the
    room. I shut the TV off and hit the video log off but missed the voice
    module. The very dark screen saver was on and I just went to bed.
    An hour later in the pitch dark I here a female voice about two feet
    from my bed "Tom, are you here?" "are you up?" I live alone so there
    is nobody within 100 yards of here but me and the cat. Scared the crap
    outta me. I've never told Xena_1958 she scared me out of ten years growth.

    When you hear someone telling you what YOU can't do, they are usually talking about what THEY can't do.

    Shay - there was a horror show once that this pig used to show up (just the eyes) to a kid at night - can't remember the rest of it but your description of that thing would make me think I'd be getting it out of the house ASAP, LOL.

    Pennywise, too - from Steven King's IT. I was part owner of a shuttle service for a gaming town once just after he wrote that book and one of the casinos had a mechanical clown with balloons parked out front during it's grand opening - the clown would turn back and forth from the waist. I almost ran off the road the first time I saw it. Not jolly at all - it gave me chills. Dolls have always spooked me - and that clown put me right over. I
    guess I watched Twilight Zone once too often when I was a tyke.

      Was house sitting for my sister.

      My niece had a Scooby-Doo doll sitting on their entertainment center.

      It had a motion censor and would start shouting at me, when I got about halfway past it.

      After jumping out of my skin acouple of times, I took the batteries out of it.

    My granddaughter has a chair that you sit in and it wants to play. If it isn't turned off, it'll periodically start singing "ABC's" or "The color of the lamp is "blue" " or other sayings. I was staying over one night and sleeping in Zamara's room and at about 2 am it piped up.....I got up and turned the d*mned thing off! Went back to bed. Nite!

    Whenever I see a Raggedy Anne or Cabbage Patch Kid I get the heebee-geebees (which is rare fortunately cause I don't think they mass produce them anymore). I'm told that in the early 80s there were lots of urban legends about that stuff. I've heard some stories now I'm traumatized.

    I had a friend who got creeped out big time over clowns.

    I'll simply say the "adult" variety and leave it at that.

      My computer printer scares the living daylights out of me and anyone else in the office... whenever that disembodied voice starts bellowing at 100 decibels about "the job is completed" or whatever. ... yeah, nice little coronary job, thanks!

        Ha! I will do one better for you. There are times when my computer suddenly remembers an old printing job and then starts to print by itself. At 2 am. and announces "PRINTING STARTED" in this deep computer voice.

        And people wonder why I have so many grey hairs....:rolleyes:
