Wheels on kids shoes.
I am fully aware that this is massively influenced by my utter revulsion on seeing the Wheelers (Wizard of Oz) for the first time as a kid, but now I think about it, maybe it's actually dangerous too. Creeps me the fuck out though seeing a human being with motionless legs just glide past.
do rollerskates have the same effect for you or is it just shoes with hidden wheels?
A fair question. It's just shoes with hidden wheels, anything where there's a visible effort that creates motion doesn't seem to trigger this odd phobia!
Yeah you mentioned humans gliding which is something I do with rollerskates and I actually agree with you - it's a weird motion to do with your body. It even feels unnatural to just glide forward or backwards.
