My thing with mimes isn't scariness so much as it is downright hatred. I just don't like them at all.

When I was a kid, we were at the mall and some mime got a glimpse of me. And started waving at me with a big stupid grin, and I would kind of wave and shyly start to hide. (We were sitting down, and the mime was on the other side of the food court).

But I would hide behind dad, and that mime would get to an angle where it could see me, and wave, and that stupid grin...and waving! And I kept trying to hide...but the mime kept finding me!

I've hated them ever since.

I have yet to meet one person (or child) that really likes a mime. How is it that they continue to exist? Eighth wonder of the world.

I'm not fond of most clowns because of a similar reason. I was about 4 or 5, my parents took me to te "Good Ship Lollipop," a part of the Gateway Clipper fleet here in Pittsburgh. This clown was passing out lollipops to the kids, he kept jagging around with me, everytime I reached for it, he pulled it away, did this several times. Ever since then, most clowns, with few exceptions, are on my crap list.
