Last year I wanted to share some posts about stuff that freaks me out. Well you never saw those posts because something or other those posts never happened. This year.. I might be a week behind but it’s on! I won’t call this post “Shit that Scares Me“.. since you know I like to keep stuff semi- PG rated here.. but every week for the month of October I’ll be sharing what gives me the chills and scares me. This week I’m talking about parking garages..this is **** that scares me ya’ll!
During the day I’m totally ok with parking garages. They serve a purpose and I don’t mind. It’s when the sun goes down that it gets a scary feel to me! When they are full it’s creepy because someone could pop out at you from any angle. When it’s empty it’s like a scene out of the movies when you arch nemesis is about to take you out. Ok I don’t have an arch nemesis but I do have an active imagination!
Don’t even get me started if I have to walk to my car at night through a parking garage alone. I walk out with my keys in hand ready to jump in my car. I’m always make sure to park close to the stairwell (another thing that scares me) or near the elevator. Either way I feel like the James Bond music is playing while I make my way to my car.
And here’s another idea.. Why aren’t they completely enclosed? Why do they have to be so open? I’m sure there is a structural reason for it but meh… I ain’t trying to hear it. Those places are scary.
That’s another fear is flying out of the damn side of the building, but by being cautious you can totally prevent this. Unless your nemesis cuts you brakes and out you go.. I’m a little nuts right? Maybe! I think you’ll think of me the next time you drive into a parking garage. Or you’ll think.. that lady is crazy! LOL I clearly watch way too much television. 😉
Beware of the parking garages ya’ll!
and make sure to come back next week and see what else scares me!
Question:
Do you think parking garages are spooky?
Cheers!

Nah, I am a trained fighter, so I can take care of myself 🙂
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle says
Oh my God. Empty parking decks… Ugh. It’s like I’m waiting to be murdered by an ax wielding psychopath.
Debra says
Yes, I agree. I don’t park in them….I park on the street instead – even in the daytime. They make me nervous – being enclosed.
Catherine S says
They don’t bother me too much. I do try to stay aware if I am alone. I am most freaked out by snakes.
Liz Mays says
I do think they’re pretty creepy at night. Whatever they’re made out of makes the tires screech too.
Debbie Denny says
The only parking garages I have been in is a hospital. I have never really thought about it. Probably because someone else has always been with me.
Pam says
I don’t like parking garages, but it’s because every time we are in the parking garage someone barrels around the corner and almost hits us! I also don’t like dimly lit ones.
Toni | BoulderLocavore says
I’ve seen too many scary movies. Yes, I think they are spooky!
Betsy Segars says
I agree – empty parking lots are the worst! I feel like such a wuss when I walk through them ha
Chasing Joy says
Yes they are pretty scary. Especially when you can hear someone coming but cannot see them.
Pam says
I never thought of it before but they can be very scary late at night. I don’t really have the opportunity to be in parking garages at night anymore but I can feel where you are coming from. I will say plenty happens in them in movies and that is probably a big reason that they can scare the s**t out of us.
Tracey says
Hahah I think I’m more scared of PARKING in a parking garage! The spots are always so small and people are always zipping by so fast.
Jeanine says
Parking garages freak me out any time of day. I hate them and often refuse t go in them, so I’m with you there!
Crystal says
I’m not a fan of walking through them at night. I also hated the parking lot on my college campus.
Christie says
Empty parking garages remind me of those horror movies. I would have a hard time walking that alone too
Ann Bacciaglia says
I do not like parking garages during the day or night. I try to avoid parking in them when i can. I always hold my keys in my hand just in case i need to defend myself when i am walking threw.
Susanna @Zealous Mom says
I’m right there with you when it comes to parking garages. No thank you! I’m also a little scared of heights, but that seems to be getting slightly better. I also DO NOT like tight, enclosed spaces.
Cinny says
I suppose it’d be scary if I was all alone and it was dark. I tend to walk faster at night. LOL!
Rosey says
Ha I’ve seen that garage scene on TV too. I don’t like walking to or from my car when I’m in there, if I’m alone.
Amanda says
Yes! I think garages are super scary and I try really hard to stay far, far away from them. Even in the day!
