    being passed by a semi on the interstate...add to it being on a bridge and I start to panic. I am sure one of these days one will hit me and send me off the bridge.

    Deep end of the swimming pool. Doesn't matter that I can see the bottom, I still kick like hell so nothing (mainly sharks) will get me. Also, I don't like seaweed.

    I fear being stripped of my second amendment rights.

    Balloons & Rubber Bands
    Paranoid that they are going to hit my eyes.
    Also, bridges that do not have water under them.

    I shake out my shoes before putting them on. I also shake out blankets, coats and towels.

    I've been deathly afraid of getting bitten by a brown recluse or black widow and dying for years.

    I hate to touch or be to near drains...lol shower drains, pool drains. and i am afraid of driving over bridges or being under a bridge like a over pass. i grew up in CA and i am afraid there will be a earthquake and i will fly off the bridge or get crushed by one.

    Yep, bridges and a fear of drowning.

    I'm terrified of stuffed animals. Not teddy bears, mind you. Taxidermy!

    Usually if I'm prepared for it (like a friend warns me that there is a deer head on the wall before I go wherever) I'm okay. It's when I get surprised by it, I flip out.

    That my MFP friends will figure out that I'm just a big dork.

    Gulp.

    "Palmetto bugs"

    Despite the cute name, they are anything but. I know what they really are. They're big and they fly and heaven forbid one gets into my home or my car... Fortunately they don't like to be indoors. But they do like Palmetto trees and we have a lot of those in the area.

    Ugh, gives me the heebie-jeebies if I even think I see one of those things.

    Thunderstorms turn me into a mewling, hyperventilating little baby.

    I am also a very anxious passenger. I want to drive!

    Yellow jackets/hornets will usually send me fleeing into the house. Got stung by hornets once, I plan on never letting it happen again!

    I dunno if it's strange, but deathly afraid of aliens. Even saying the word made me get chills. I hate it!! They scare the **** outta me.

    Oh and I know this is a weird one. I am afraid of other peoples' feet. I hate mine being touched. It gives me the willies. I hate it.

    I have diagnosed OCD. Not the I-like-a-clean-house kind, but the real kind. So, yes, I have many strange fears.

    My current big one is bed bugs. I am afraid to travel because of it. I have acquaintances who have had them and it just seems like my worst nightmare come to life. The can't be killed like other pests and chew on you in the night? Ick.

    Lightning was and is a big one for me. I can't sleep in my metal bed if it's lightning outside. Totally irrational, but then, OCD is inherently irrational.

    Not a fear, simply a fantasy

    Grass.

    Unless it is a perfectly manicured lawn - I will not walk on it - or even worse sit on it. Who knows what is hidden in the grass. ? :)

    I have OCD too. Though I am obsessed with having a clean, unmessy house too lol. But my thing is not sitting in bathtubs. I hate my butt sitting where feet have been. I hate feet. I just feel dirty and gross and if I had to take a bath for whatever reason, I have a freaking panic attack.

    People breathing in my face... not so much a fear, but they will steal all of my oxygen and I will suffocate and die... its how it works (at least in my head)... sharing a bed is horrible!

    Oh and getting conditioner on my face always makes me feel like i cant breathe :(

    My biggest one is wooden popsicle sticks, or those wooden spoons for ice cream. Just writing that I'm getting the heebie jeebies. Yuck. Also open closet doors freak me out. And any spider or bugs.
