Seagulls, hands down. When I was little, we had a family outing at the beach and I was munching on a box of cheez-its. And they swarmed me. Rather than throw the box or run away, I ran WITH the box, and got chased by a pack of gulls. It was the most terrifying event of my life.

I don''t like driving over bridges either (like Skippy). And the fact that I-95 got shut down for a week a few months ago to repair a crack in a support doesn''t help either. I drive over that section daily.

Ooh, one more. I don''t like driving next to or behind those big 18-wheelers. What if I''m in their blind spot?? What if a wheel flies off and decapitates me? (the latter actually happened here recently to an elderly couple. It decapitated the man. The wife was brought into the hospital where I work).


OK, getting a grip now...

Well now I''m going to be scared of that too! Geez, what a terrifying thought!!

I was just thinking the same! That''s awful

Okay, I feel like a total fool admitting this, but here it is:

I''m terrified (and I mean terrified) that there''s going to be a snake in my toilet that bites me when I''m going to the bathroom and I''ll die and that''s how people will find me. I''m so scared that I have to check the toilet every time I use it.

There''s been one time in 11 years that I haven''t checked...and there was a frog in the toilet! I noticed it after I was done and freaked out.

And now I''m afraid there will be a frog in the toilet that jumps up and sticks to me and...well, you get the picture.

Bees. I hate bees. My husband makes buzzing sounds at me and laughs while I swipe at him to get him to shut up.

Loud noises: fireworks, balloons popping -- I hear ya on this one, allie. I have always been terrified of loud noises.

When I was little, there was a movie out called "Magic" -- I would catch glimpses of the trailer on TV and to this day marionettes FREAK me out.

Also, I think there was an episode of Fantasy Island that had talking dolls and stuffed animals -- creepy.

I have a fear of suffocating to death alone in space.

Seriously. I''m really weird.

Having raced motorcycles in the canyons of SoCal, raced Miatas in three states, bungie jumped, skydived, barefoot skied, and killed my own spiders, I suppose I''m basically fearless.

When I watch Fear Factor I know none of the stunts would faze me but there ARE several things I wouldn''t be able to eat

Yuck.

I hate being tickled.

I also hate being sat on or restrained in any way.

I totally have claustrophobia and fear being squashed or squeezed.

I just do not count those as silly, they are real fears!!!

My clown one is a bit silly I admit, but I am not alone, which somehow makes me feel better!
