    Falling (low heights)

    I will not do box jumps, rollerblade, skate, etc. because I fear falling since I do not have full control.
    Step ladders freak me out too.

    Semicolons can be terrifying.

    All of mine are rational. I least I rationalize them to be. I mean, broccoli CAN jump and kill you, right? Who wouldn't be afraid of that?

    Spiders that are bigger than a dime.
    I can't squish them, gag :s
    I freeze and scream if it's a big one, the last time one got in the house it took me 10min of standing on a chair before I could bring myself to spray it.
    I screamed and shuddered while it died, so gross.
    Just thinking about it grosses me out.

    Escalators terrify me. Not going up, just down.

    The metal floors on escalators where you get off/on are the terrifying pieces for me. Thanks to the internet I know the death machine that the flimsy piece of metal is protecting me from and I don't trust it!

    Fitness related one: I'm a little afraid of starting P90X again. The last three times about 3 weeks in we would have a death in the family. I realize it's just bad timing. But I cant help but wonder if that DVD is cursed? :smile:

    Earwigs. They're disgusting, slimy, pinchy little *kitten* that ravage my garden with their grossness. Plus, what if they really find their way into my ears?!

    Being mauled by a wild animal
    Flying in an airplane
    Getting a bug stuck in my ear
    Being struck by lightening
    Getting to the movies late and missing the trailers

    I have an irrational fear of being afraid. I've been afraid of being afraid ever since I was a small child.
