I get panicky when I'm underwater and a raft or something floats over me.
I also don't like crowds very much.

I'm not really scared of this, but I really have an aversion to it: Food in bulk. Don't ask my why, but it just bothers me! Haven't traced the root of that, yet....

Men who look like or dress like they've seen the softer side of Sears a few too many times. :P

It scares when I'm floating somewhere and I float over something, like the drain in the pool. Whenever that happens I get all tense and can't float any more. One time when that happened my foot went down and landed on the drain grate, and that really freaked me out. I have no idea why I'm scared of this stuff.

Because you are afraid of getting sucked under by the drain and drowning :P

Oh now, don't be scared of the big standard poodles! I had one for years and they are really very sweet dogs. Mine was so good natured, but he was afraid of thunder.

Back to the question - I'm horribly afraid of frogs. I don't even like Kermit very much (even though he isn't terribly froggy)

lol they are called giant poodles hahaha (we used to have one- i hated him but thats because he was a jerk (yea i know... lol)

water I can't see through.....

yup- i'm the same way- i HATE swimming in lakes and stuff- and the instant anything touches my foot- i start screaming/freaking out/actingl ike a total wuss and hightail it out of the water (and i'm spending the summer at a lake.. yea real smart right?)

i used to be afraid of open water (like in a boat on a river or ocean- and i live right near the hudson) but then i joined the crew team... so being in a boat thats only like 2 feet across helped me to get over that fear....

Any loud and sudden noise (lightning striking, balloons popping, buses backfiring, etc)

dude me too- especially balloons... its not like i'm afraid of the noise- though its loud... its like... the ANTICIPATION of it...

Haha, no. Actually I think I'm more afraid that something creepy is going to come out of it. Stupid fear but there it is.

i hate open waters. i'm afraid of the ocean cause i might get sucked in and won't get out. or falling in the ocean/lake and who knows what the hell is underneath me. when i was about 12, i went camping at a lake and my older bro said "be careful going out there in the water. the old trees are going to catch your leg and your gonna drown." thanks bro

so whenever i go in lakes or rivers or the ocean, i get freaked out if anything touches me.

BaylorBean · #24 05-26-2004, 06:28 PM

Little fish in lakes or rivers...I freak out that they are going to bite my toes...I am ok in the ocean but that is it...makes float trips interesting for me and my poor boyfriend

I am also scared of hyper dogs...I had a dog when I was little that was really hyper that would knock me down and clothes-line me with his chain when he was outside.

Sushi.

BUGS. How could I forget bugs? I hate them and freak out when they come around. Especially those horrible beetle/june bug things. YUCK!

Peaches-n-Cream · #27 05-26-2004, 08:00 PM

I am afraid of falling onto the subway tracks.

Funny how so many of us are scared of water, oceans, pool drains, etc. Add me to that group. I used to be scared of the lake my grandparents lived at.

I think we are a generation destroyed by Jaws. Seriously.

Mayonnaisse and Minivans.

Mayo because of a recent food poisoning incident at a VERY inconvenient time (last February's bar exam). I get freaked out at the smell, seeing it squished on bread, etc. As long as that evil crap stays in the jar, I feel safe.

Minivans because they are trying to kill me, I know it. I'm not really afraid of being in one or seeing them in general, it's just when I'm driving and there's one on the road. You can't see around them and the people who own them just seem to be the WORST drivers on the planet. My mom used to have one and I know it had major blind spots, but it goes beyond that.

On my drive to work (ah, the joys of Interstate 4 in Orlando!), the minivans are either (1) flying along like they can't see other cars, coming up right behind you and tailgating, or (2) traveling so slow that I think it would be more productive for them to just put the thing in park and let the earth's rotation move them around.

Plus, I've had several near-misses with minivans, getting cut off, hearing that really nice SCCRREEEEEEEEEEECH of brakes as they barely stop in time, seeing them wander around the highway without regard to the lane markings, etc. One tried to kill me this morning - stupid driver was towing a U-haul trailer and driving too fast. I was in the left lane and the minivant next to me. The traffic got bad suddenly as I approached a hill (normal on I-4), so I slowed down. The minivan was tailgating, so they had to slam on the brakes, causing the trailer to sway back and forth. It came within inches of hitting my car.

Stupid, stupid minivans. Seriously, I know it sounds weird, but it keeps happening to me. I think I'm starting to develop a phobia.

There are few things that scare the heck out of me more than anything else...

1- Being head over heels in love with some one and the lack of control associated with the emotion of love,,,

2-FISH I HATE THEM MORE THAN ANYTHING I can't go to petco.petsmart and go NEAR the fish area... ugh are they some creapy looking animals...
