Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

I jump at the slightest sound and then my blood goes cold and I freeze. One night I heard a bang and sure someone had broken in, I dialled 999 and told the officer to stay on the phone while I checked lol! ;D

I've hammered a long fat nail in my bed room door frame and every night I twist it so that no one can get into my room without a bit of force, so as to give me enough time to grab my pepper spray from under my pillow (or from under my bed if it's rolled off which it occasionally does).

Beside my bed is my landline hand set and mobile fone... just in case one fails lol. :giggling:

I keep a torch in case there is a power cut/ or I dunno in case I have to blind a burglar. hew

I have an air-rifle which I keep meaning to load and keep by my bed. But with a young son, I can't risk having loaded weapons around the house. BEWARE OF THE RIFLE!

When my son stayed at his dad's I slept with the lights on.

If I have to go downstairs in the night. I peek over the banister to make sure there is no one there. Even then I sneak downstairs ready for a confrontation with a burglar. Occasionally, I feel strong enough to ask them if they'd like a cuppa and tell me why they feel they have to do this lol.


Do I sound scared to you? :?


What do you expect after witnessing four burglaries in my life? :mmokay:

BTW, did I mention I have an ADT alarm system and a panic button? ;D

Well nothing is guaranteed 100%. So one has to have some back up at least. :shade:


On a positive note, when I make lots of dhikr I don't feel scared at all. :statisfie

I can see some parallels

Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

^lol I was thinking the exact same thing! Awesome movie btw


I normally wouldn't have a problem with it, sometimes when I close the lights, the room would be pitch black and it happened to me that I tripped to some stuff lying on the ground or not be able to find the switch to turn the lights on again. :skeleton:

Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

I am never afraid to be home alone, but 1 time I had to go on a business trip and my wife was home alone, she was calling me non stop everytime the air conditioner came on.....she thought it was a burgler;D then she was terrified when the under house fans came on(they are ventalation fans under the house for moisture) they vibrate a little and she thought someone was under the house.;D......i shouldn't laugh, she was terrified!she has never been alone...good thing it was only for a week i was gone, and i called her Uppa(dad) he picked her up and she stayed with them.

Honestly I am not afraid, although anything can happen...so I am prepared.

Dessert Eagle .50 for whom would try to hurt my famiglia, along with some other weapons of choice. I pray I never have to use them. Amen

I have to tell you this.lol..........I bought my wife pepper spray.....i know what your thinking;D.....so I get a call one day from my mother and she is mad!imsad

see, I told my wife that peper spray was "a really spicey spray" that you spray in someones eyes to deffend yourself.....and yes i fully trained her on how to use it.

Problem was...I failed to mention IT"S JUST A WEAPON! So my wife thought to herself may be I can spray this on the Tandoori Chicken and make it super spicey...........she said "It says PEPPER spray on the bottle" I thought I could use it for cooking?"

I will give you a minute to pick your jaw up off the floor..........

Yes she did,...... sprayed it all over the chicken and the kitchen, imsadimsad

And my mother said she didn't even notice it for like 3 minutes!!!!!!..... I can't believe that! Then the burning started and she couldn't breath. My mother came over and poured milk on her face and tried to help her. Believe it or not she was fine after about an hour or two

I came home afterwards and coldn't even walk in the house! How my wife tolerated that is beyond me:hmm:

Again.......Indiannnnnnns!

Just kidding my Indian friends

lol...that is so...erm... i can't comment anything sis. mg:;D

i used to paranoid when i was a kid...that buglars will come to the house or someone wants to kidnap me. So i did alot of gadgets...i mean lots of its... (like knife from ice cream stick, smokes that can your eyes blur using the powders and etc)you can say that i'm a bit tomboy but wearing long skirts. ;D. I don't even bothered about those dolls or wearing those beautiful long dress...all i wanted to do was something weird. :hmm:

and most of my cousins are influenced by my ways...especially the younger ones...and mostly the boys. ;D

Every night i'll make booby traps...like i hang lots of pans and pots at the door..so it makes noised when someone walk in the door. I made something signal bucket that connected to my next door cousin's room...lol you name it. and my cousins got nervous everytime we did this...as if we know that the buglars are really coming to the house.

and you can say that the home alone movie...is the same like me...accept that i'm a girl.

The truth is i never had any nightmares...you want to know why...because everytime i dreamt about bad guys or ghosts i'll be one of those superheroins...that have fighting skills like the spice girls cartoon. At the end of it...it made the dream become fun and exciting...and not scary at all. ;D

Maybe thats why my friends said 100% male brain suited me well... mg::hiding::hmm:

lol I like the booby-trap idea. I once considered making my own - like a trip-wire with bells on it, bit I didn't want to be the one tripping on it. :X

Entertainment aside, my fear stems from having been afflicted with sihr/jinn possession, nightmares etc. I've seen a jinn's head too! :skeleton: The only time I didn't feel scared was when some lovely sisters I met realised something was 'troubling' me, did ruqyah on me. They also gave me ruqyah water and it was while that lasted (3 days) that I didn't feel scared like before.

Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

traps can backfire. A friend of mine in Shreveport Louisiana had trouble with somebody breaking into his garage and stealing gasoline out of his car. He made what he thought would give anybody breaking in an electric shock. The poor guy didn't know much about wiring and to make a long story short his "Booby Trap" caught his car on fire, and before he could get out to put the fire out, it burned his garage down.

^Oh Gosh! oh:

You're right. That's why I never went ahead with mine. Was your friend able to laugh about it later?

Re: are you afraid to be home alone?

Wow reading through posts here again is making me feel that I am in a movie!!
I think this is more famous in US and Europe to have all those pre-cautions in home

Believe it or not, in my country, some people find it weird to close your main door at your home!! And most of us here only close the doors when we go to sleep. I don't say that there is no cases for houses that had been broken in, but it's vey rare especially in the city I am living in mashaAllah
Alhumdulilah

People goes like>> oh: their home have been broken in!!!

I only close the main door (more like an entrance for cars) if I was alone at home.

I have lived in both rural areas and cities. I have found that there is less caution needed in rural areas. I am once again in a rural area, an nobody locks their doors. Especially if they are not at home as a neighbor may need to get into the house for food, water or to use the phone.

The attitude in rural areas is similar to the Mexican "Mi Casa es Su Casa" (My house is your house.)

Oh thats nice! people must be acting like families not neighbors then.
Thats what amazing in rural areas not noisy un-secured cities. I don't know why but I always have that impression that this kind of life can't be found in US or Europe till you posted your thread about Zeeland!
