Its probably been said, but…
Drowning, and being buried alive.

why not just buy a new mailbox?

I shook a rather large, white spider out of my towel before drying off last week. They say you should always check your boots, but I think you should always check your towel.
My boots don’t touch my dick.
Often, anyway.
-Cockroaches … I’ve seen 2 of these in my day and I’ve killed them both. But god! Those things move SO fast and the strange panic they induce is quite insane! I hate those things!
-Cheesesticks … I nearly died choking to death on one. I swallowed half and the mozzarella cheese stretched down my throat while the other half was still in my mouth. It was horrible. I couldn’t swallow and couldn’t cough up the other end. I turned bright red and when everything starting getting really heavy and my eyes felt like they were going to burst… I quick reached in and pulled it all out. Stupid ass friends thought I was kidding.
-Giving blood … the idea makes me want to faint in itself. I can handle blood though fine… it’s wierd. but the idea of giving blood gives me the heebie jeebies like crazy. The ironic thing is I have chronic nosebleeds all the time and all they do is annoy me.
-Opposems (spelling?) these thing’s apperances just creep me out.
-People with alsheimers. I had a great grandfather with alsheimers who was convinced I was a member of the road crew… and constantly yelled at me to fix the pot hole in his drive way.
-My Grandmother. Seeing her creates an insane panic and I want to hide or cry as soon as I see her. I don’t even want to know why this happens… I don’t even want to know what I could be repressing…

Did you hear that the Boogie man was gay? He finally came out of the closet.
the closet monster is the ultimate predator, gay or not, he will get you if you don’t close the door.

I’m glad he hasn’t worked out how to open doors, because then he would be truly unstoppable.

Speak for yourself man. All my fears are rational. Like worms, if you cut them in two do they die? Hell no, they become twice as deadly! They’re the ultimate weapon.
That is something I hate - I can bait a hook with a worm fine, but I hate cutting them in half with my fingernails for smaller fish. Worm guts under my nails, having to make multiple attempts, etc. GROSS.[/quote]
Oh good God. I’d never thought of that. That is terribly disconcerting. I need my blankie.

It is one of those locked boxes in a bank of boxes. I live in the middle of nowhere up in the mountains(quite literally–even mapquest can’t find it) about four miles from the house. So I could not just replace it. I actually get a sick feeling in my stomach and my heart races and I get all sweaty when I think about stopping on my way home. I have to look to the other side of the road when I drive past it.

Damn, so my fears AREN’T rational?
Just a little fun for the arachniphobes!

I don’t have arachnophobia, but hell… even THIS fucker gives me the creeps!
The article that this photo accompanied was about how a camel spider killed the family dog and forced the family out of their house.

Everyone knows that the Boogie-Man lives under the bed. Just sayin -
Holy fuck those pictures of spiders just sent me through the roof, good thing I’m alone in my cubicle or I’d look like a fucking nut.
Thanks to that sadist Iron Dwarf most of the strawberry / cantaloupe fruit cup my wife lovingly diced up for me for a lunch snack is NOW ON MY KEYBOARD.
Spiders … ugh… Man I watched Arachnaphobia through alternating eyes.
Goes without saying I cheer on any superhero besides Peter Parker
Maybe someone should start vomiting behind Iron Dwarf? LOL
Those spider pics are pretty creepy…
Heights- I am absolutely terrified of heights. If I’m in an elevator with a window back I can’t look out. Went to the rodeo on Tuesday and got an a ferris wheel with my girl and was basiclly paralyzed with fear until we got off. Her laughing hysterically at my misfortune didn’t help…
All manners of disaster in the water- Sharks, gators,etc… Open water is creepy by itself but when you add in living, breathing garbage disposals that are bigger,faster, and stronger than you and have a single minded purpose of feeding on you, and you know there’s nowhere to go and nothing you can do it makes it that much scarier.
I’ve got three.
-
Swarms, of anything, it could be kittens and I’d be freaked out.
-
Dark rooms with red blinking lights. It’s panic time when that happens. Last time it happened was at Disneylands’ Nemo ride.
-
Videos of JFK getting his cap peeled.
I’m a full grown dude and I curled up into a ball when #3 was on screen during Watchmen. The movie JFK? “back and to the left?” No thanks.
