1. Spiders-too many episodes of Venom ER.. I shake out blankets, I shake out my shoes before putting them on
2. Falling down stairs and hurting myself with one of the kids in my arm
3. Waking up the same weight I was when I was pregnant with my daughter

    When I think about getting a cut. When I actually do cut myself it isn't that bad but the thought of it creeps me out.

    I know what I'm capable of given the right circumstances. (or at least I think I do...that what scares me)

    paper cuts. I know it sounds weird, but I freaking HATE paper cuts. They make me cringe. I'd rather be sliced with a knife (gory I know) rather than being cut by paper. I'm weird.

    Bugs never bothered me. I'm a country girl at heart.
    Escalators, I got my shoe lace caught in one as a kid, NEVER liked them since. I'm ok going up, going down is what gets to me.
    I'd rather take the stairs, then be rushed to get on one.

    I am a recovering emetophobic (fear of vomit and/or vomiting...way more crippling a phobia then you would think).
    I have a fair bit of social anxieties and am self conscious pretty much all the time, but I'm pretty good at pretending I'm not.
    I used to love flying, but after one trip with two very scary flights...air travel has sadly been added to my list.

    Clowns - When I had my wisdom teeth removed I was so wacked out on gas (they kept me awake!), that I started to hallucinate that Pennywise from the movie 'It" was using a chainsaw to take them out.......

    Heights
    "Bad guys" stealing my children
    The wheels falling off my car - This happened to my "old" car (my car was 7 years old) in may....this is why I bought a new van!
    Breaking my leg again

    Side note - I fall down the stairs on average 3 times a year.

    ^ This. But I lump all moral deviants like rapists and murderers and such in with the clowns anyway. Creepy damn clowns.

    Heights/falling... oddly, though, I enjoy flying and roller coasters - it's just standing on things that gets me. I think this stemmed from breaking my arm jumping off a trailer when I was 3.
    Critters... bugs and spiders and the like creep me out.
    Success and failure, and I don't know why.

    Clowns and heights. What medical professional thinks it's okay to put pictures of clowns on walls in the children's part of the hospital with super sick kids?
