Large birds up-close.
(We have a lot of large water fowl in the summer like Canadian geese, snow geese, swans, pelicans, etc) All very majestic birds, but I don't like them up-close. They make me nervous when they get close...
And yet snakes, bats, coyotes, etc are just fine. But not large birds up-close0 -
Horses. I'm not sure why but since I was a kid I do not like them at all. Anything that big that can ruin my day with a swift kick, I am all set with.0

I haaaate wind turbines. They're massive & powerful & creepy, & triple creepy because they're set up hundreds at a time. *shudder*
I also have a weird fear of accidentally stepping on my cat & breaking one of his legs, because he's always underfoot causing trouble.0 -
I'm scared of stairs and escalators. I always feel like I'm going to fall. I'm also scared of the conveyor things you stand on, treadmills, ellipticals, rollerskating, biking, etc. Pretty much anytime something mechanical is in control of my movement I'm on the verge of panicking. It took me a long time to be comfortable driving and since my car accident in February I've had a hard time driving in unfamiliar places. Oddly enough, I love roller coasters.0

Hey "Mischievous", OMG! Me too! When I was a kid I had several dreams of heading toward the side of the bridge, thank goodness I would always wake up before impact. While driving a car almost caused me to go off the side by pulling in front of me. While with some friends I also went over the side of an embankment and flipped three times before landing upside down. Those were just general interstate bridges but to this day before I go anywhere new I ask if there are any long bridges over water.0

I had no idea that people were afraid of wind turbines. This pic probably combines all the phobias for some people. Taken last year, it is two engineers who were working to repair a turbine when it caught fire. The fire, unfortunately, was between them and their only way off the turbine. They had absolutely no way out. They knew they were going to die, so they hugged and waited for the inevitable...

I can usually suck it up and get past anything if I need to. However, here are a few things that I have irrational fears about.
I use to have an irrational fear of walking by the street sewer drains like these.
I was scared that I would slip, my leg would go in the thing and break or that something would jump out at me from one of them. Pretty sure that fear developed when I had to walk by three of them on the way to my bus stop and there was no sidewalk to walk on. I'm cool with them now but for years I wouldn't go near them at all.
I am also not very fond of walking on these things.
I always feel like the thing is going to break and cause me to fall into the pit of dooooooooom.
These again are things that I don't really like and have irrational fears about, but I'll face them bravely if need be. :laugh:0 -
Pregnancy, pregnant women, childbirth and new born babies (it's called tokophobia and it's a real thing)0

I have a fear of dropping either my keys or phone and having it fall through those and be gone forever. Like I literally have a death grip on my stuff as I walk over them.0
-
I am not going to quote all of the things you are saying that I also fear but let me say this. I'm basically a walking bundle of fear and should probably qualify for disability benefits. How I get through life is starting to become an amazement. :huh:0
-
Oh yeah, I am also prone to feeling like this it going to happen to me every time I get on a treadmill. This is why I never break PRs on the treadmill..
Edited to add this adorable gif for those that have a blood phobia.. (^_^)

Driving over a bridge while I was driving, being a passenger wasn't so bad but I had to learn to get over that little fear if I wanted a better paying job.0

Plants creep me out a little bit. Just knowing that they're alive.0

Fiberglass or Insulation, the big pink bags at Home Depot give me real nightmares, I get itchy and scratch until I bleed.
Then the more common driving on the highway trapped between big rigs. I try to avoid it but if I get stuck or sandwiched on the road I turn into a nervous wreck.

Rollercoasters and other "extreme" rides :huh: , since I was old enough to ride them. :indifferent: Completely irrational, no anecdote or explanation. Was extremely ashamed, especially when going on field trips. In 7th grade, I tried to get on a floorless coaster with a group of classmates. Waited 90 min got within arm's reach of the front of the line and had a panic attack; ran like I was fleeing Godzilla or something. :sick: :sad:
A couple years ago I heard that Dwayne Johnson (aka "The Rock") had the same phobia. Being roughly the same height and age made me feel better. Since then I've made great progress and I last year I rode a stand-up roller coaster for the first time. I ride it every trip now. I'm slowly working my way up the scary ladder. This year I plan to ride at least 1 new coaster and a drop tower ride.0 -
A long standing phobia of mine has been any kind of white sauce. I think that stems from my mother making creamed chicken once a week when I was growing up. I'm sure I bit into some chicken weirdness that I surely could have avoided if I could see through the sauce. That turned into another phobia - chicken prepared by anyone else but me.
I recently developed a phobia of single stall restroom (like when you walk in the room and there is the toilet and the sink ) I work at a school and it was the last day of work before Thanksgiving break. I used the men's bathroom because the female's was occupied (two men work on our campus, so this restroom is rarely used). My students were still at lunch - I went to unlock the door and the lock was jammed! I was in there for 20 minutes, having a full on panic attack, before I could get service on my phone! Now, if I ever have to use the restroom in a public place, I check the lock at least twice before closing the door.0 -
