What are you scared of?

I will start (mind you my list is long):

DOGS!
Needles
Ducks
Birds
I now have this fear that a Bird is going to fly out of a trashcan
Small Places
Large Groups of People
People touching me
Walking Alone

I am sure I will remember more later.

Badly done stop-motion animation (There is a certain animated cartoon that will literally get me to vomit and scream uncontrollably because it's so badly animated and gross-looking...)

Exposing my body to other people in any way

Vomiting

Bees.

Bees are evil.

We can make synthetic honey and flowers just fine now. It's time to take them all out.

I am terrified of being mauled by dogs, so I'm nervous around any dog large enough to kill a person if it happens to SNAP (the dog, that is)until I get to know them.

Not so much a phobia, but this freaks me out in a major way...

I have a huge fear of losing finger/toenails. I used to play field hockey and a girl got smacked with a stick one game and it ripped a fingernail off. *shudder*

Those toe fungus commercials with Digger the fungus that rips the nail up like a car hood makes me want to retch, and the bits in Syriana and Inishmore involving torture by nail rippage made me cringe like nobody's business (actually I totally closed my eyes and plugged my ears during that part of Syriana).

BLLLLEEECCCHHHH!!!

Oh! I thought I was the only one that thought that. I can't watch that commercial.

Find your phobia

Caterpillars. Not the fuzzy, pretty ones that turn into butterflies. The ones that turn into moths that used to fall out of the trees and into your hair every spring in the South. I especially hated the ones with the little horns. Also, the asps (the wormy ones, not the snakes).

neddyfrank, it's a bit eerie how well our phobias match up. I'm extremely afraid of needles, dogs, and birds, although needles are my number one fear. I also have to admit that if I see a couple pigeons on one side of the street, I'll try to cross to the other side and walk there instead. It's something about their eyes and their neck motion that makes me shudder.

Deviled eggs...especially at picnics on warm sunny days.

siamese dream- I do the exact same thing with pigeons. They are the bird that I am scared of the most. When ever there is a pigeon rather then confronting it, I will just avoid it. Also, I hate when I sit outside at a restaurant and they go under the table I freak out.

Spiders. Since I was a baby. Large or small. I cry like a baby until someone kills the damn thing. and I call them the gestapo.
