    Bridges...I have to be as close to the middle as possible; so I can't see over the side (especially over water). If I'm driving, I white-knuckle the steering wheel until we're clear. If I'm not, I just close my eyes & count the nanoseconds until we're safely back on solid ground. The Bay Bridge in San Francisco & the I-95 bridge in Philly (the one you have to cross to get to the stadiums) have been the worst for me...especially when you're on the bottom tier.

    Grasshoppers. The way they can shoot straight up into the air and then divebomb people. Plus they have those gross gripper things on their legs that allow them to stick to anything *shiver*
    ^^ This times 1,000,000. I almost wrecked a car because of a grasshopper

    Also, sidewalk chalk freaks me out

    Balloons :indifferent:

    Not really sure why but I hate them, and it scares me when they pop to the point where people can chase me around trying to pop them in my face because they think it's hilarious

    The bottoms of boats or planes. Nope, I don't get it either, but they put me in panic mode every time.

    I went backpacking this summer and had just set up my tent and laid down to test it out when one of those wolf spiders plopped down from the top of the doorway into my tent and sent those damn babies scattering everywhere. Talk about a hysterical flip out moment! The ONE minute I didn't keep the door zipped shut of course!

    Snakes...poisonous snakes...rattlers and water moccasins. I"m not deathly afraid of them but have a healthy respect for them and pretty much all snakes in general. If I can't identify immediately I just assume it's poisonous and leave it the hell alone.
    that 's same with me...

    Terrified of clowns... I went downstairs late one night and my mum had fallen asleep watching IT... I sat down to watch it... yeah and my room was decorated with clown EVERYTHING! Saw a clown at a fair last year that came up to me... ran away crying.

    That movie did not give me a fear of clowns, but it did give me a life long fear of bathrooms. toilets, sinks, shower, drains... Yup.. great stuff. I'm going to be 27 soon and I have a complete and ridiculous fear of bathrooms. People make fun of me for it. :(

    I was so happy to see this thread because I thought I was the only one with strange phobias. I have a weird fear of:
    birds and railroad tracks. Whenever I have to drive over RR tracks, I freak out and flap my arms (which is weird in itself since I don't like the flapping motion of birds). If I'm the one driving, it's scary for the passengers in the car with me! My friends all think it's a riot, but it's not funny to me! I don't like any kind of bug, and can't even kill one (because I'd have to touch it in some way), but I'm not sure that qualifies.

    Anything alive that lands on me, especially on or around my face, but anywhere that I can feel it. Stay the eff OFF OF ME. Also, I get really agitated if someone starts to talk before I'm finished speaking. And smug idiots, people who are completely off of the plane of reality the rest of us live on, but are so completely sure that they have all the answers, so they sort of smirk at you. Ok, that's enough. Except for the people who talk religion or politics in a bar. You know who you are, and you make a compelling case for justifiable homicide. All right, NOW I'm through. 8-)

    Any animal (minus domesticated pets) that gets into my home. Birds, squirels, mice, bats. Whatever. I'll run and scream like a 12 year old girl meeting Justin Beiber.

    In an old apartment we had a mouse and my wife was trying to capture it while I was standing on the couch screaming. Not my proudest moment.
