What's your biggest fear?

My biggest fear is of mice. It sounds absolutely ridiculous but whenever I've seen one in my basement I've practically had a coronary. Maybe if I saw one outside I wouldn't be as freaked out, but when one's in my house it's just so gross and even if I set a trap and catch it, I won't set foot in the basement for weeks after the fact. I worked out in my basement and I was doing push-ups when a mouse ran past me before... That was the end of my workouts in the basement! *shudders* I also am terrified of elevators since I got stuck in one for over an hour when I was a child and the doors had to be pried open by firefighters since the electricity had powered down and everything. :noway:

Everyone has a phobia of some sort. SO! What is your biggest fear?

    Holy crap, I totally forgot that some bats do that!! I've seen them fly outside at night sometimes and never even thought to take cover.

    I'm freakishly afraid of spiders. I got bit by a brown recluse...and it wasn't pretty. Now I completely overreact when I see any spider. Once I jumped into a lake to cool off real quick. When I went to climb out a spider as big as my fist...ok half a fist...ok so maybe it was the size of a quarter...nickel was sitting on the lader, it hissed at me..well in my mind it did. I totally panicked fell and swallowed a bunch of water because I was screaming like I was being murdered. I refused to come out even though I was probably going drown....it was a better option than having to face that devil creature again. My dad had to throw me a life jacket and kill the spider.

    Haha no that's okay! That's a very legitimate fear; I couldn't even begin to imagine how terrible that must be :frown:

    Spiders would be my second... I was also bitten by one, but mine was a black widow... Them boogers HURT.... Although I have NO problem at all in killing them!!

    My biggest fear is ridiculously stupid and out of control. I can't swim in open water. Can. Not. Do. It. Why? You ask? Because of the fish. :blushing:

    this is my son. I was sitting in the lake and the minnows were nibbling on my legs, my son saw and went running out of the lake screaming and will only swim in pools now.

    That one always makes me laugh. The perceived danger on an airplane is larger, but realistically that car ride is multiple times more dangerous. But if that's your excuse for an awesome 2 day road trip then so be it!

    My biggest fear is not truly living. Dying with regrets, wishing I would have done something.
