    I have a big fear of escalators & elevators, both for different reasons. I also really hate sewer grates & drains.

    saprophytic phobia -- fear of mold

    I seriously freak the F^%& out if I think there's mold around, I'm afraid I'll inhale it and it will rot my face off. I know, it's crazy and irrational, but it's my phobia.

    Zombies - They give me nightmares. But yet I love walking dead. (Though I can't watch it alone)
    Plane crashes
    Blood - LOTS of it.
    Tomatoes - Can't stand the touch or smell of them. But not "scared" of them.

    Phobia - n. An unreasonable fear.

    A lot of people here are posting very reasonable fears (i.e. - being hit by a train, drowning, being stabbed, bee stings..)

    I know a guy with a fear of fish.

    I love how so many of you have the same phobias as I do! I don't feel as weird anymore. Here are mine:

    - I hate going over bridges (any type - doesn't matter how short or how long they are)
    - Tunnels scare the crap out of me
    - I hate trains and buses (mostly it's the feeling of being trapped in there)
    - Escalators and Elevators (I will ALWAYS take the stairs, and if there are no stairs, I just do not go into the store/restaurant)
    - Driving on the highway

    Clowns
    Balloon Animals
    Clowns with and/or making balloon animals
    Mascots (even though I was one once)
    Spiders (I killed my very first one this year without screaming...usually if I kill I scream, a warrior-type yell, but not really.)

    Pregnancy, pregnant women, childbirth and new born babies (it's called tokophobia and it's a real thing)

    I also have tokophobia, but mine's just the pregnancy and childbirth. Literally makes me want to vomit just thinking about it. (Seriously, I gag and stuff)

    I'm horribly afraid of mirrors, mainly in the dark. I can handle looking at them during the day/with the lights on, but they're evil things. When the lights are off I have to block off the view of the mirror with my hand, and I hate seeing them in my peripheral vision at any time. I'd go in to more detail about how they're doorways/your reflection is basically evil/who knows what's looking back through them at you, but I don't want to sound too crazy :indifferent:

    I'm also pretty afraid of the dark, more so now than when I was younger. I get constant flack from my flatmate about it since I told him, and he threatens to switch off the fuse for my room sometimes (though I don't think he would).

    I used to be afraid of tape measures, and couldn't even hold one, but thankfully got over that. (Though my heart still races a bit, I hate the idea of them pinging back and the metal bit cutting me or something)

    And spiders, but that's obviously pretty common.

    1. Murky bodies of water with a drain that I have to stick my hand into (sinks, bathtubs, toilet tanks)... Think the Grudge movie

    2. Floor drains... The movie It

    3. Standing on the edge of cliffs or building... I don't free heights, I fear falling accidentally!

    4. Zombies!

    5. Little kids too close to busy streets... They don't pay enough attention and wouldn't stand a chance against a 2 ton vehicle

    I have an incredible fear of things that can eat me. Bears, sharks, zombies, dinosaurs. Bad to the point where for example if i had to go down into the basement and it's dark i think what if there's a bear down there LOL... things like that.

    Also wet hair. I freaking hate wet hair, I can't shower at gyms because of it. Wet hair on the shower wall (I have 4 sisters all with long hair) makes me literally vomit.

    Mirrors freak me out to. They are portals to hell. I think if you spend to much time looking in one it can steal your soul. People think im weird for that. When i was a teenage i had a vanity in my room that was my moms and i kept a dark sheet over it. And i had these spider web things that was old halloween decor, they were metal. I think thry came eith some halloween arch thing my mom had. When it got broken I took them off of it and used them too keep the sheet on the mirror. Until we moved in this place i refused to have one in my room. I just have in because my fiance has this skull one he wanted up. But i wont let them in my living room or anything. Only reason im cool with the one in my room is because where it is i cant see it unless i look over there

    Bugs, not all but the ones with long legs or the ones that cause people to act like they are in bath salts and die. So pretty much spiders and centipedes and the like.

    OMG. Me too - my hubs likes to do it to bother me and I get all shivery and blech. I hate it!

    I also have a silly phobia about Pigeons. I think it's they way that they move their heads around all jerky and such.

    I am also afraid of the river in our city; it is murky water and I'm convinced it is full of bodies.

    I have an irrational fear of measuring tapes.. I always feel like when it slides back super quick it's going to chop off one of my limbs.

    oh so this!!!!! I never used to have issues with it.... then went to Walmart one Christmas, and actually had to leave my cart of goodies and exit the store! Now when I go to Walmart, get in elevators, and airplanes.... heart starts beating super fast, I get flushed and feel like I need to run.
