Trypophobia

There is NO reason for this!

Why does such a ridiculous object exist?  I'll tell you.  This crazy pub in Park City has decided that instead of recycling water bottles (like normal people), they would make "art".  Well, this isn't art.  This is crap.  A trypophobe's nightmare.  All the stupid water bottles are clustered together into a not-even-close-to-symmetrical ball and then lit up from within.  It is horrid.  I couldn't even look at it.  My chair had to be facing away from it.  This picture was taken with me looking away from it.  I hate it so much.  It makes me angry.  All clusters make me angry.  Now I'm laughing, again, at how insane this phobia is.  Does anyone know the Greek word for anger/rage?  Because I'm not afraid of these things, they just make me mad.  And then I laugh.  So does anyone know the Greek for Bipolar?

Peace out

Heidi

I know that the Greek word for crazy is TRELOS. That would appear to be apropos for your cluster "issues."

I don't think you're strange, but I definitely don't get the phobia of clusters...I think I've said that before....weird that these people don't recycle - dummies!

I have this phobia, and thought I was the only one for a long time. I can't explain it and it drives me absolutely batty. I never told anyone about it until I realized it wasn't as uncommon as I originally assumed. I feel like if there was some sort of psychological explanation for it, it would make me feel a lot better. But I can't seem to find anything about it. Just thought I would share.

"This is crap." hahahaha. I love you.

Oh Heidi, you crack me up. I am sorry about the cluster "art".

Seriously, nice "art." I'm sorry you had to sit by it. Hopefully it didnt' make you lose your appetite. Too bad you couldn't have come to Lugano with us. No clustered pieces of art there!

okay, there are worse things out there, but I'm still barfing as we speak.

Instead of making me sick, sometimes certain clusters make me angry. I saw one the other day (can't recall what it was exactly) and it made me want to hit something I was so angry by the way it looked.

Yes, anger. I want to ruin the object that is bothering my eyes. This ball for instance. I think I might drive back up to Park City and vandalize it. If you see that it has been vandalized, don't turn me in. But then things like the Suriname Toad make me both sick AND angry. Actually, I feel something akin to rage when I see that stupid amphibian.

what a weirdo!! but it makes me laugh every time!

You are too funny. :)

Coulio said...

I will vandalize with you just based on the fact that it's the stupidest waste of time ever. Who glued it? Were they annoyed with themselves?

Julie said...

Yep!You're crazy!

This makes me smile, Heidelweiss.

Schadenfreude, apparently.

Avert your gaze, dear thing.
