I have a serious clown phobia and cannot stand anything related to clowns ... I'm not sure where this started but I will say that I have never had a clown related birthday party for dd's because I would be a freaking mess   Dh likes to make me crazy and sent me a crazy clown photo on Facebook a few minutes ago ... I'm not going to post it because it disturbs me  Do clowns make you uncomfortable? |

Nope, never had a problem.
Send in the clowns...

I don't hate them, and they don't really scare me, but they are kinda creepy.

I think nearly all Americans hate clowns.
Disturbing and creepy at the same time.

They make me uncomfortable. When I worked at an assisted living center, I had to help a resident with his clown makeup at Halloween. I've been better after that. It was like when therapists make their clients go in an elevator if their claustrophobic.  |

I've never liked them--I think they are creepy.

I agree- they're creepy and disturbing. While I don't get shaky terrified, I don't like them, and won't watch them, hold kid parties with clowns, etc.

I don't have a phobia, but I would not willingly select a clown to visit a party.

I'm not afraid of them, but I don't like them. At all. Ironically, ds's fil used to do PR for Ringling Brothers. He was shocked when ds told him he had never been to the circus because his mom hates clowns and thinks making animals do tricks was mean.

Years ago I went on a Club Scrap retreat -- it was great and I met some fabulous women. But there was this one gal who just rubbed me the wrong way -- she was grouchy and loud and a general PITA. At the end we were all exchanging cards with our contact info and she handed me hers -- she was a clown!

Not a fan. Think they are creepy. I would walk across the street to avoid one.

I'm not fond of them but growing up, Emmett Kelly was very popular and I saw photos of him a lot. But if you have a phobia, it's unkind of your DH to send you reminders.

My best friend absolutely hates them. I bought a pack of 12 clown erasers a while ago and send her one every couple of months. She has no idea who is doing it. |

I wish I knew someone that hates clowns because I'd love to this. |

I wish I knew someone that hates clowns because I'd love to this. I have a habit of being ornery. I used to hide Happy Meal kids toys in my teammates classroom so the kids would search for them when they should be working. I also hid a giant pickle (in the bag of juice) in another room. I have another friend who is turning 40 this year and I will be sending her a Make it Yourself Merkin Kit anonymously. My dad used to hide a plastic dog poop in my house after he would visit. I get it from him. |

Yes! Especially in person, but photos also. I do not like costumes at all. Cried and ran the opposite way from Santa and the Easter Bunny. Do not like Halloween or costume parties. I am just strange...

Absolutely, 100% hate them. Terrified of them. I don't remember a time when I didn't hate them, but one traumatized me when I was a teenager and I've been terrified of them ever since.
