finding creepy faces in everyday objects: c or d?

Sorry for the crap formatting here, testing a portable device to see if I can post from it. So to the matter at hand: I'm looking at a chair right now, and one of the beams forming the back has a formation in the grain that looks like a sombre face asking "whyyy do you keep sitting on me?" There are a few other objects around the house with tiny faces in them...the fake woodgrain on the closet door, the pattern on a blanket, and in the stucco on the ceiling. when you see these how do you react? and can you continue to use these items?

I scream like a little girl and jump up onto the kitchen counter.

and can you continue to use these items?

Only in the service of The Dark Master.

oh, it's a classic. They are like the Green Man, the spirits of things. But then I did read this Phil K Dick story where everyday objects came to life and became quite murderous, but that's just fiction.

It's better than finding creepy feces in everyday objects.

depends if you do what the faces tell you to do or not

This is absolutely classic. To see the faces, you have to focus somewhat, but then you can sort of play within that concentration and find new faces and shapes. I also think it's interesting that we find faces right off the bat, instead of say, tables -- but I'm assuming there's a very good psychological reason for that.

Yes. It's a sign of insanity.

well I was kinda hoping that this wouldn't become a weekly world news picture thread but I guess that's too much to ask around here some days

I used to see more creepy faces in objects than I do now. I suspect I've actually changed more than the woodgrain around me. The suggestion of creepiness in my life in general has lessened recently, and not just in the form of less creepy faces on objects. I do think that medication for bipolar disorder has had something to do with it, though I don't think I've been on the new meds schedule long enough to make a passable study of how much it influences creepy face-spotting.

I do remember a fake woodgrain pattern on the dishwasher in my family's house in the late 70s/early 80s that was rife with creepy faces though. I mean I couldn't look at it as a kid without seeing at least four or five of them leering at me.

This happens to me all the time - I took this picture up at Sauble Beach.

I once kept my parents up all night whimpering that the plant in our hotel room was frowning at me. Then this frown turned into an evil grin and I was convinced that it was plotting to eat me.
