So we all know that lego is evil and conspires to find it's way into the middle of the hallway at 3am precisely when you're walking down there with your poor sensitive feet unguarded...but what other toys are out to get you?
Mine was DD's beados. Little roly beads scattered over polished jarrah floorboards in our old house, lurking in the cracks and popping out just when you think you've seen the last of the blasted things....
The triceratops - it lurks and waits for people to sit down :o
Any and all computer/PS/Wii/iPhone game or app that has annoying 'music' or sound effects.
That shiz will do your head in. For real :p
DD's squinkies... I am sure they are breeding and I always seem to step on them.
And not so much a toy but DD's chair from IKEA. She moves it around the house so she can help you and I always seem to trip over it
Moo's garage with lights and sounds...always goes off when I'm alone or at night!
Textas and crayons. I can put them in the highest hidey spot and they'll still manage to find their way into DD's hand and design beautiful illustrations on my curtains and windowsills when I'm in the loo.
OMG I hate it when toys do that. And it's always the night that you've stayed up late watching a really scary movie :o:
We have a soft fluffy turtle that giggles maniacally. It has batteries but you can't get them out and it can't be turned off. And it always picks quiet time (usually just before DD goes to bed) to randomly start it's nasty little laugh. I've been waiting 12 months for those blasted batteries to die! :(
the boys tanks, the battery dies and makes loud noises normally when im making a 4am bottle, scare the crap outta me, and the babys walker, she wants to gwt close so ramms it into your heels ouch lol
and "bumble bee" transformer hides in the couch cousins waiting to stab your butt when you sit down- hes solid, havent broken him, yet
Those friggen zhu zhu pets....there was one hiding in my car for ages. I just couldn't work out what the noise was. I thought my car was broken :lol:
DD1's "learn to tell the time" clock. It plays different sounds depending on the time of day, so sings a lullaby at bedtime, songs about lunch being ready, time for breakfast etc. Fanbloodytastic until it gets the time changed on it and left on so that the rooster starts crowing at 2am
LOL such a great thread :)
DD has this wagon thing that you put toys in and on it and it makes this rediculus noise that drives me bonkers AND she leaves it in THEE most silly places.. .. this is one also that goes off in the middle of the night!!
That and those little people... hmm.. they are EVERYWHERE!!!
Magnets (they are toys right :p) seem to find the pesky things everywhere... from ITNG to the stupid doll ones... creepy when you feel something cold & flat in the dark :rofl:
Minute glitter.... it ends up EVERYWHERE and impossible to vacuum up because it's like dust. Thomas trains - nearly skidded A over T that many times. :o Of course Lego but mine are pretty good with keeping it on the rug and in the box - tis all the other stuff!
Match box cars... My DS has way to many and he "drives" them all over my house. Hate it when he leaves one in my loungeroom mat (it's really shaggy, so feet find it first)
Polly pockets...the most stupidest things out. The bits and pieces that come with it are tiny (I thought the barbie stuff was small). Of course DD would have a huge tub dedicated to the darn thing.
DD's abby doll! That thing is EVERYWHERE! i ALWAYS step on her, of course its when i sneak into her room to kiss her on my way to bed and she says in a very loud voice mind you "Hi my name is Abby Cadabby!" And 9 times out of 10 she wakes DD up!
Oh yes polly pockets....and littlest pet shop! Whoever came up with those needs to be forced to walk barefoot down a corridor strewn with the stuff!
ATM it is playdoh. Just when I think I have it all cleaned up and packed away I find more and it is in places I swear they did not even go when they were playing with it. DD1 also has a large wooden cake that is cut in 5 pieces and I have kicked a piece in the middle of the night a few times and have had to cry out in pain in the quietest way I can.
I found a squinkie in the fridge this morning:
Naked dolls...they are everywhere at the moment and they always make me do a double take when I see them out the corner of my eye. There are eyes watching my every move.
A bear that sings 'You Are My Sunshine' in this old time, creepy voice, with a moving mouth and red heart that lights up and spills creepy red light on everything at night. There's a video on FB of DD crying as it sings. It goes off randomly too, and can't be turned off or opened up.
My kids have bears that repeat what you say and their mouth moves. Nothing sounds worse than me telling them off and the bloody bear is copying me in a high pitched voice!
Claire used to have a light up singing caterpillar that used to go off at 3am

I religiously now go and do a 'toy turn off' before going to bed :)
The boys trash packs and gogo's...they are driving me crazy!
We used to have this fisher price moo cow mirror thing on wheels. It would moo in the middle of the night and scare the crap out of is.
Oh and the furby. That turned on after the batteries were removed. It was residual power... OK?!!!!
Other than that Lego.
Rocking- we have 1 of those too, I hate it sometimes.
PZ- that bear sounds scary lol is it an heirloom?
This is great havent laughed so much in ages
We got wood floors otherwise playdoh would be on my list too
Woody! He is put up on the shelf in DS room at the moment because he was pulling on the string too hard and its about to break. He follows me where ever I move in there and it freaks me out!!
I make sure he is comfortable and sitting up nice and straight with his hat on. :shakehead:
Way too much Toy Story for me I think!
I'm scared to ask but what on earth is a squinky?
Not really a toy but DS keeps being given plastic placemats. For some reason he thought it would be fun to scatter them on the floor. 39 weeks pg with DD & I found one. Absolute agony for the next few weeks. Needless to say DS has not seen those placemats since. But then came Christmas and now we have more :wall:. They will be finding the bin as soon as I can be bothered. At the moment they are up high so I keep forgetting to get rid of them.
Oh & agree - the toys that go off at random times. We have a dinosaur that goes off & sometimes goes haywire & won't turn off. (That one is hidden in the laundry lol!)
Oh man that would freak me out!
We toys can see EVERYTHING!
I always apologise to my favourite Cabbage Patch doll when I see her, because it's been so long since I played with her :rofl::
Since putting the cot alongside our bed, I'm a bit sick of the Angry Birds plushies FIL gave Amelia for Xmas. They're cute and all, but having the things go off in my ear when I'm trying to go to sleep is rather scary!
Zhu zhu pets. They make that squeaking noise every time I go near them and then they start to move... I'm sure the little bast*rds are coming to eat my toes at midnight.
Not exactly a toy but DD1 got given a helium balloon one time we did the groceries and that thing freaked me out so many times! It was huge and floated aimlessly around the apartment so suddenly you would walk out of the bathroom right into it or wake up with it hovering over your face lol.
:rofl::
:rofl:
Oh gods yes the furby - my lovely mother got one for DD for christmas one year - it became a "daddy's house" toy after it copied my swearing at the tv one night when DD wasn't around and then would randomly repeat it...:redface::
:think: So many but DD1's barbies are posessed they have regular romps and I always find them in odd places doing naughty things :o
DD2 hers is this wonderful $5 mirror that chants "Don't you just love being a princess" we brought a good year and a half ago, but yet it still goes off at random times to freak me out :o
I hate train tracks and yes legos!!!
