    Sharks!

    "galeophobia" is derived from the Greek words "galeos" (shark with markings resembling those on a weasel) and "phobos" (fear). "Galeophobia" is also sometimes used as alternate term for ailurophobia, fear of cats, because the Greek word "galeos" is derived from "galee," a Greek meaning "polecat" and "weasel."

    That's very interesting because I also don't like my cat.

    I'm not afraid of it, but only because I'm a lot bigger than it is...

    Ants! <shiver> If I see even ONE tiny little ant in my house I will spend the next half hour searching for more.

    Other insects don't bother me one bit, just those creepy crawly teeny tiny ants.

    Oh believe me, I'm not afraid of money....It's the "I've worked my *kitten* off all week and look at that crappy pay that's only gonna be in my account for all of an hour before my bills claim it all..." that scares me! :D

    I'm afraid that when I order french fries I will somehow be burned by the french fry oil while I'm paying for my order.

    So do you typically order fries behind the counter?
