What are you afraid of that other people thing is weird funny or crazy?

Me, I'm terrified of mushrooms. Can't look at them without shuddering, and there is no way I will touch one!

So what about you?

    I'm terrified of basements. I mean I guess it's not that weird, but it's probably weird that I've lived in my new house since October and I have only been down there a handful of times >_<

    I think dinosaurs are cute!
    And basements, totally understandable! The cellar at work freaks me out so much!

    The only thing that really bothers me is Crane Flies. Ugly *kitten*. Fly like they're drunk and spaz out when you repeatedly stamp on them, rather than just, you know, DYING.

    Making phone calls.

    Yes, seriously. I don't think I've ordered a pizza, chinese takeout, etc in 5 years... because i absolutely loathe picking up the phone and calling people!

    My very bestest friend of the last 5 years? I've called her six times. Four times, it was " What do you want from Timmies? " on the way to her house.

    I hate it even more if I'm calling someone I don't know. Need to schedule an appointment? Nope. Call a child's parents when their kid is sick? ................. only if they are REALLY sick and I don't have a choice.

    Call the school? Nuh uh.
    Call to check the hours of a store? Heck no.
    Call to report a problem? Never.

    Scorpions. Can't stand them. Can't be near or around them. I send my BF into the reptile section of a pet store to do recon before I go into look at the snakes and spiders. I change the channel if they come on TV


    Not going to have it. Nope. *shudders*

    Same here! It takes me a long time to be able to make a phone call!


    Clowns seem to be a popular one!

    Scorpions are pretty scary

    Couldn't agree more. Called them Doing-doings (the onomatopoeia) growing up, based on their tendency to bounce up and down in the general facial direction.

    Also pretty terrified of kittens, when they're that just-able-to-walk phase. The way their tails stick up like antenna.. Ugh.

    There's a window in my shower that opens to the front of my house, luckily there is a bush in front of it or people could see into my shower. Anyway, when I take a shower at night and the moonlight and streetlights are coming through that bush, I always think someone is standing outside getting ready to break the window and kill me. Totally ridiculous, I know.

    But mushrooms are so awesome! I've had a snake for a pet, spiders don't phase me one bit, clowns, scorpions, nothing.

    I don't like butterflies. They creep me out. I don't know why it is or where it came from either.
    I don't like heights either. I almost had a panic attack on Splash Mountain lol.

    I'm afraid of big ships. Too bad I live on an island.

    Cotton. No not like a shirt... Like a cotton ball. So creepy and gross. Worse than finger nails on a chalk board. My brothers and sisters will forever make fun of me... As I'm sure some of you will. LOL.

    I can't look at things on a screen from overhead. Lol. Like I can't look at tall buildings from overhead on Google Earth. The thought of looking at something like the Eiffel Tower from above makes me feel ill!!!

    Grasshoppers.

    Don't know why. One was in my car once and I almost crashed. They freak me the heck out.

    When I was young I was scared to death of the basement at my mom's house. I would go down to do laundry and run as fast as I could up the stairs and slam the door. I always thought someone was going to shoot me with a bow and arrow in the back as I ran up the stairs. Weird, I know! I swear I could make it up the stairs in 3 seconds flat!!!
