I love creepypasta so much. I often read it at work, and probably shouldn't, because while no particular scenario makes me scared, the body of work as a whole makes me feel vaguely paranoid and unsettled. Some of the best micro-fictions ever are circulated as creepypasta, and taken as a whole they touch on a lot of universal human fears.
Have you read the guide (http://www.creepypasta.com/survival-guide/)?
Concerning myself:
4. If you are alone at night in a creepy mental institution,take some time to consider what the fuck are you doing there, then, if it is appropriate to do so, leave.
...the answer to 'What the fuck am I doing here?' is usually 'Working.' and the answer to 'Is it appropriate to leave?' is 'No.'
These facts, taken together, really explain rather a lot about why I really shouldn't read creepypasta at work, but probably also about why I do so anyway.
