    Clowns, and mascots!

    My best friend still gets tears in his eyes laughing when dredging up the story of how I ducked under our booth table when the UTC mascot (a scary giant chicken!) came barreling across the cafeteria toward us.

    Luckily he wasn't coming for me. I'd have punched him, or run away... or both.

    I don't like the dentist. I don't go unless there's something seriously wrong... I know it's foolish but I grew up in the generation where the 'murder house' hurt like hell and now my teeth are vulnerable even having them cleaned hurts enormously.

    My worst experience with my spider phobia was when I was driving. I was going over a bridge and my son, who was in the back seat behind me, says that there is a spider on my back. I couldn't pull over to get it off me and then he yelled that it's on my neck! I finally get off the bridge, pull over, jump out of my truck and literally ripped my shirt off alongside the road just to get that thing off of me, not caring who saw what. I never did see it and that made it even worse! After I got back in the truck I told my son that if he wanted to stay alive, he would never, everrrrr tell me he saw a spider on me while I'm driving, even if there is one! He never said a word and just sat there like I was crazy.
    Also, I was a Vol. FF and I could go into a burning house but not if a spider was hanging in the doorway. :)
  • Spiders!! I'd rather fall into a pit of snakes than to have one stupid little spider drop out of my sun visor in my car. That's a recipe for disaster!

    I have to try really hard not to have a panic attacks when I am in a car and not behind the wheel. When it comes to driving, I have to be in control or I will panic and freakout.

    Thunderstorms. Hate them. At least they can never treat me for them, because what are they going to do, stand me out in a field with a lightning rod until I'm either dead or not afraid anymore?

    Seaweed. Ugh - hate it! It feels like it's trying to wrap around your ankles and drag you under water. Annnd there are creepy-crawlies that live in seaweed, and that is another phobia!

    Moths, mimes and to a lesser degree flying
  • Dogs (and unfortunately, people judge me for this one a lot) and vomiting (mainly hearing/seeing other people vomit).

    I have quite a few things I'm generally creeped out by or scared of (snakes, spiders, wasps etc) but my only phobia is fire.
