Yep, I usually have to peel myself off the ceiling at least once a week.

Me too. Especially if I am wrapped up in something...like when I was at uni and I would be in my room studying or doing an assignment. If someone even opened the door I would have a thousand heart attacks.

Nope, I am notoriously hard to scare. I usually just look blank...then abut 30 seconds later I crumple in a heap of adrenalin come down!

DH on the other hand is a screamer which is really bloody hilarious. On one of our first dates we were in the car stopped at a red light and a drunk guy came right up to DH's window and barked loudly like a dog. I laughed. DH looked at me in terror, screamed and hit the accelerator. It was such a shock to me as I thought he was this big cool tough guy . Obviously didn't put me off though.

I'm not jumpy but my DH is. It's so much fun scaring him and making him jump.

He is usually off in his own little world and ignoring everything so it is quite easy to sneak up on him and just stand there and wait for him to turn around and see me. He screams, and I laugh! Even our 2yo daughter is learning to hide and/or sneak up on him and say "Boo!". She has genuinely scared him sometimes, and she cackles her little head off.

At our previous place I would hide on the staircase just inside the front door, wait for him to open the door when he came home from work, and leap down at him. Scared the hell out of him, and he nearly collapsed in fright. He learnt to be very wary when opening the door after that. I would also sometimes hide in the wardrobe when I knew he was going to open it.

It is so funny to scare a jumpy person! To all of the jumpy people, try it and you'll see why we love to do it to you, and find it so funny!

Many people over my lifetime have had fun with my jumpiness. I just feel sorry for my poor heart! I think I'm getting better these days, have calmed over the years. The chaos of having 3 kids maybe I've just become immune to shock LMAO.

I love being jumpy in movies though, I actually set the scene these days to make myself "extra" jumpy... did that with the paranormal activity movies... waited for kids to be in bed, late and quiet at night so I could sufficiently work myself up into a state of "on edge" LOL.

I also find it hilarious to scare others and make them jump... I've been known to hide around corners and jump out. I also recently had a thing where I'd scare the kids by beeping my car horn as they walked around to open the garage door when the remote wasn't working. Gave me a laugh It's good to be easily amused sometimes

[geckosrule]

No. I possibly the opposite of a jumpy person.

It might be my training as well as my upbringing but I always scan the scene for possible "dangers" and it something unexpected arises...i'm kind of ready for it!!

[girltribe4]

I am and tend to burst in to uncontrollable floods of tears , DH only did it once to me and was distressed enough by my reaction to never do it again (so far LOL)

[wca]

Yep totally!
