    Oh gawd... I cant sleep with the closet door open, I hate dolls and clowns ~ especially those creepy antique clown dolls... I always check behind the shower curtain before I go pee... smh... and bugs ~ I can't handle anything larger than an ant because little flying things creep me out. I have punched out a car window in effort to kill a mosquito. True story.

    Oh ~ and NEEDLES and SHOTS... If I were ever diabetic Id be f***ed...

    I won't walk or drive over those drainage things with the metal covers in parking lots and sidewalks. I'm afraid the metal thing will break and I'll fall in.

    ^^ this - I cant walk on the basement doors on the sidewalks. Twice someone has told me to get over and both times I fell through and they felt like sht. Only to my ankle, but I scraped up my shins. I have the worst luck with those things.

    Ouch! Yeah, I.won't walk on the metal door things either. If its not the concrete, I ain't walking or driving on it.

    There was a colossal spider in a huge web across the steps on my back porch. I thought it was really cool and even took pictures of it feeding on a fly.

    But when the web was GONE, and I didn't know where the spider was anymore... that kind of freaked me out.

    This literally made me LOL (sorry if you were being serious) but if not thanks for the laugh! :)

    Snakes! And man made heights like the top of the Sears Building Observation Deck in chicago. However, I can climb up a radio tower to do work without issue.

    Heights and spiders....those are maybe not so silly

    Cows. Yes, cows...that one gets me laughed at, but they're huge, they can cause some very serious damage and despite what some people will tell you, they're NOT docile creatures.

    Wolf spiders. They are harmless, stay near the ground and like to eat bugs. But they are so ugly and scary looking! Argh!

    Crickets and other bugs don't bother me at all. It's completely irrational.

    How do you get a boob caught in a 3 ring binder. Please explain. Pics to show how.

    Why would I get my boob caught in a three ring binder so i could take pictures for you. You are a sick little pervert. Search porn hub or something for that.

    I thought they meant it as a joke, not a come on.

    Also getting a boob caught in a 3 ring binder.

    For some reason, that worries me too. It's never happened, but I always make sure my boobs are quite clear of pinch range.

    I can't believe I'm admitting to that.

    I'm also afraid of worms. I know they can't hurt me, but they still creep me out. I don't like things that slither. <shudder>
  • Belly buttons as well lol!
    Also I'm always paranoid that my house is
    going to be haunted and I'm also scared of
    getting abducted while walking around my campus
    at night (I've read WAY too much true crime haha).

    I'm terrified of being the smelly kid. I keep a stockpile of shampoo, conditioner & body wash in the bathroom cabinet.

    I think it started after I had to take sulfa drugs for something... I could smell the sulfur coming through my pores and I would shower incessantly.
  • lightbulbs. i swear, every time i change one, i'm certain it's going to shatter and puncture through my hand or my face. and working at a power plant, i have to change bulbs all the time.
    This actually happened to an ex... kinda...

    He was leaning over a lamp trying to inspect his mouth (holding a mirror ofc).. he accidentally drooled on the lightbulb (derp) and it exploded. Luckily he was not injured but it could've been VERY nasty. Tiny shards every where. Imagine them flying into the back of your throat.

    I'm sorry. :)

    This post was downright evil. I love it. :devil:

    I have 3 irrational fears:

    1 - Shark Attack - by far the most plausible of the 3, but I am in an ocean maybe once every two years, if even that.
    2 - Alien Abduction. Any time I catch a clip or something from one of those movies (Communion, Fire in the Sky, etc..) I'll have like a week of sleeping with the lights on.
    3 - This one's long, but hear me out. You know when you're driving on a highway at night, and someone in the car in front of you tosses a cigarette butt out the window, and it lands and you see the sparks go everywhere? I always have this one-second burst of white-knuckle PANIC that as I drive over the cigarette, my car will have a previously undiscovered MASSIVE gasoline leak which will be ignited by the cig, and my car will suddenly become a FIREBALL.

    So yeah.

    And Funeral Diner if you post pics of aliens, so help me... :angry:

    Last night, my youngest boy, Iggy, who is obese due to medical issues and only about 1, started hacking and coughing and I freaked right the bleep out. I went into crazy paranoid mommy mode and held him in his carry bag which I strapped to my chest for several hours and called like 3 vets to see if they thought it was an emergency. Pretty much all of the vets told me it was “probably a cold”.

    Deep down, I know it’s probably a cold. But I will be watching him like a hawk again today and if he continues hacking, he’s going to the vet for tests. And don’t even start me on my paranoia of distemper… *shudder*

    I hope he will be okay. :( I'll keep him in my thoughts. My sister has ferrets and they are so fun to watch because they are so crazy. They are getting up there in age too so I'm always worried about hers as well.

    As for this topic, I hate phones. I fear calling strangers. I always have to write out a little script so I don't fumble over my words when I have to call someone at work. I think it's mainly because I can't see the person I'm talking to and I think they're judging me. I dunno! My family thinks I'm nuts.

    Another one is mirrors in the dark. I'm fine with mirrors in the light but something always creeps me out and I avoid looking into them when it's dark.

    I have a total fear of drowning - but I love to swim. I HATE being in a deep end of a pool alone.
    Clowns
    The rocking cages on the Ferris wheel at California Adventure. Every year I suck it up for my kids to go on that awful ride and the only way I make it out alive is by insisting we sit in the non-swinging cage seats.
    Showering when I am home alone.
  • The champagne cork thing....agree one hundred percent with that one. I get all sweaty and nervous when people open bottles, and I know there's no way I could open one on my own. I always fear I'd take out someones eye with an errant cork.

    :( Hopefully my pic isn't scary to you. My little frogs are African Dwarf frogs and they are only 2 inches big each. They live underwater in an aquarium and are so friendly.

    Terrified of closets open closets at night lol, and not of spiders but having one on me freaks me out. I'll kill those *****e5 all day but you're out of your mind if you want me to hold one hostage.

    Emus, but it's not silly. I have my reasons.

    Also, I'm afraid of heights. Short heights. I can't wear heels, or stand on a chair without a minor anxiety episode. Did just fine looking at the view from the top of a mountain or ferris wheel, though.

    Ladders. I can't even get on the first step. If someone is on one, I'm obliged to hold it whilst getting ready to catch them 'when' they fall!
