Not necessarily food related. :-)

We all have weird things we are scared of or nervous of, right?

Mine -

phobia = spiders. Utterly horrified. infact anything with more than 4 legs freaks me out. Can cope with a 12 inch rat, just, but a 1/2 inch bug freaks me right out.

fear - public speaking. I'm a pretty confident person socially, but stick me in front of a room full of people and I become a gibbering, shaking, crying wreck. did a course recently and burst in to tears in front of the cmpany management group. The trainer now talks to me like I'm a bit simple. Bang all chance of promotion.

You?

    Snakes and falling. It's strange, I'm not really afraid of heights. If there is a barrier or something, I'm completely fine, but if it's like a ledge, I'm terrified.

    Wasps. I can't be anywhere near one. I'll run out of a room if there's one in, and I've jumped off a moving bus to avoid one before. Only after screaming and crying and running around the bus flapping my arms around. That was about two years ago.
