DAE have the irrational fear of being shot by a sniper when walking by undraped windows?

I have fictional day dreams of a group of terrorists attacking my house aand what I could use to defeat them all and get away safe.

I feel like unless my curtains and blinds are covering every centimeter of my window, someone is going to watch me undress.

I have this problem not out of fear but conditioning after hours of call of duty.

standard_baby · 3 months

MLK used to have that same fear, but he got over it. You will too, one way or another.

scotty269 · 3 months

Nope.

Irrational?

kingpumpkin · 3 months

Not on do I feel that a sniper will shoot me, I have that matrix slow-mo thing goin' on. And iot's not normal slow-no, it's like 5 seconds for every nano second...

When walking outside I tend to scan the area for rooftops, think of places where possible snipers/spies could watch me, etc. etc.

I ain't acceptin' no snipin'

itsfreshlyshorn · 3 months

it's not irrational because i live in the blackstone valley

stephj · 3 months

yep. and when i'm walking around tall buildings.

Not often, but earlier today I was going into my house and I swear I thought I saw a laser dot flash across the door frame. Maybe it was just one of those dang kids again. Or my imagination.

vainamo- · 3 months

Yup. Also I have the fear that anyone who is either being passed by me or is passing me is going to shoot at me.

enrique_spankypants · 3 months

Everyone knows that you would see the red laser dot and because of that you would have enough time to react before being shot. So don't worry.

Troll the sniper and wear a hat/t-shirt with a target on it. DISCLAIMER: helmet and body armour must be worn at all times.

smokeysevin · 3 months

When I walk into my room at night I won't turn the lights on until I have close my blinds and curtens.

bored1 · 3 months

It is a rational fear for me.

Is that you Roger Ailes?

boywizard · 3 months

For some reason, I read this as, "DAE still have the irrational fear of being shot by a sniper when walking by undraped windows?"

I was thoroughly confused.

FalynnFromGrace · 3 months

Kind of. Someone shot at me through our opened windows years ago. It was only a BB gun but that shit was inches from my head.

CalmSpider · 3 months

I only really think about it if the potential vantage point is at least 500 meters away and elevated above the rest of the terrain in the area. Snipers work from far away.

disasterific · 3 months

Its rational.

Plus, the fear of having someone watch your every move through high powered binoculars. Which has lead to the habit of randomly doing something stupid in front of a window to entertain whatever creeper may be out there.

mmhmm.

kraftymiles · 3 months

Nope, but i do often wonder why, in film, Americans never seem to have curtains. (Or drapes)

kingster20 · 3 months

When I saw enemy at the gates for the first time...

man, that was tough shit.

smokeyjeff · 3 months

Has anyone here seen the movie Wanted?

marlbor0 · 3 months

YEAH

lud1120 · 3 months

My guess you can have these fears when you live in big city apartments. All these movies...

Jaws0me · 3 months

Not entirely relevant, but it's the first thing I thought of. WKUK - Sniper Business

CiD7707 · 3 months

If a sniper was going to take you out from a window, it wouldn't be one that you would think to look through.

slipandslide · 3 months

lol..i do that too! I have to have all my windows covered up completely or else I feel like someone is watching my every move. creepy! Also, i check behind the shower curtain before peeing, just in case there is a serial killer waiting for me. movies and video games have not helped this at all. lol

mrbarry1024 · 3 months

YES!

I never imagine that there would be someone else who thinks like this!

Sphenodonta · 3 months

No, but if I play spy too much in tf2, I feel a tingly sensation when walking by people with their backs turned.

acrazydreamer · 3 months

I hold the door and let people walk out before me, in case of snipers.

Votatilis_nex · 3 months

Finally someone else! Damn snipers..

SocialLeper · 3 months

Not undraped windows, but when I see the drape of a dark-is room flutter a few times I start to walk faster.

stoor · 3 months

YES, espicially in empty parking lots near high-rises

bouncycastles · 3 months

Actually, I used to duck down at random moments when intuition struck me. To avoid bullets, of course, because there were totally snipers outside. (Part of the reason logic is so much better than intuition.) And then I got medication and odd symptoms of craziness like this mostly went away.

MyPinkElephants · 3 months

Yes. I always have my drapes closed. If even a little bit is uncovered I get uneasy and I have to fix it :)

watevs44 · 3 months

Especially after watching that second episode of Alcatraz

Fruitbat3 · 3 months

Great, now you got me momentarily scared because there are about 10 different vantage points outside my window to where I am sitting right now.

llill · 2 months

Not really a fear, but I think about it when I walk by windows and I feel like I wouldn't be surprised if I get shot.

This is why I buy kevlar drapes.
