I'm sure a lot of people have stories like this, but this recently happened to me so it is fresh in my memory. I'm walking home from work at night talking to my wife on the cell phone. Suddenly a man runs across the street, points an automatic pistol at me and demands my wallet. When he sees my cell phone, he asks for that too. Without thinking--I certainly would NOT have done this if thinking had been involved--I kick him in the huevos. To his credit, he does not drop the pistol, but he does run away. The thing that scares me still is the last look I had of him: as he his moving away from me, but before he turns to run, he is grabbing his junk with one hand while still pointing the pistol at me with the other. He could have easily shot me, and we both knew it. I owe my life to this fleeting moment, and this thought still scares me.
Carpe diem, indeed.

Many years ago when at my girl friends house I went upstairs to use the bathroom.
When I opened the door my girl friends fat sister was just getting out of the shower. My God what a scary sight.

I'm not trying to say that worse things haven't happened in the world. I know plenty more people die every month around the world. But I'm not sure that there's been an event that has led to such mass destabilization of the world as that one.
And a very unexpected, large-scale, televised terrorist attack should come as a shock to people...
Oh, and you can't tell me what does or does not shock me.
You win!
That would be even scarier if he were in close proximity to you.
A few years ago, there was this TV program called Freaky Links. It didn't last long, and was frequently pre-empted. It did have at least one pretty good signature line though: "Ever wake up in the middle of the night, thinking you heard a noise, and wondered if there was someone in your house? What if all the times that ever happened, there really was?"
The scariest thing I ever saw was in the mirror....
Actually, I was on a school trip a couple years back, we were staying in DC for a few days, and before I went to bed for the night I was looking out the window, and I think I saw a couple through a window across the street doing it. It was a very unwelcome sight.
Also, on a more serious note, I saw a cashier at a convinience store get robbed at gun point. I wasn't in the store at the time, I saw it through the window, but it was still scary. I also remember that it was the day before thanksgiving. Seriously, I can't even go to that store anymore without getting unpleasant flashbacks.
And finally, nothing is more scary than almost dieing. I cut my wrist (it was an accident, I'm not and never was suicidal) one morning on my way out the door to school. It was nasty, and my dad rushed me to the hospital (thank god there was one right down the street), and I got my arm stiched up. The doctor told me that I was very lucky, and the cut just missed a vital artery. I was released from the hospital withing an hour. But all near death stories have to have a funny conclusion, and this one is no different. When I was all stitched up, and got my bandages, my dad was allowed into the room. I asked him "is the dog okay".
