I hate that sound. I like balloons. I hate when they pop.

When I was little I was scared of balloons I wouldn't go past a classroom that had balloons hanging up I would have a meltdown, If they were on children's tv shows I hid behind the chair.Thank goodness I grew out of that though. :oops:

I dislike balloons popping. However, I like popping waterballoons. :)

Me too.

I was on the bus and I there was a mini-demonstration on the pavement. Some people had balloons that drifted into the street. I was watching this balloon and thinking, 'when is a car going to drive over it', then 'BANG' - I could hear it from the bus. I quite like it when I expect them to pop. I like the suspense; it's like a horror movie. Now when I see a balloon, I wait for the bang, like I wait for the killer in the bathroom. :lol:

I have a slight phobia of balloons popping, but not of balloons themselves. My brother and sister brought home tons of balloons a couple of days ago and they have been using them to torture me and as leverage to get me to do things for them. Most of them are popped now, thankfully. :shaking2:

It's better than the rubbing of ballons. When they squeak when being rubbed, it's pure torture.

My hatred of balloons is such that I don't even like being near them.

I can't stand the noise of balloons popping. I try to avoid balloons as much as possible.

I am never ready for a balloon to pop, even when I know its going to happen. The suspense and then the loud noise are just too much.
