ive turned into a germaphobe, surprised its not more common.

If iam out in public and someone sneezes within ear shot of me, i hold my breath and move way away.
Wont touch bathroom doors anymore, walk with portable Lysol for people's keyboards and mice.

I had a fear of intersections for a good while after a near collision.


I'll fight a 400 pound bear (still maintain it can be done) but i cant stand the thought of being around a germ infestation.

OK, I'll be a man about it and say #2, but only the dinner-plate sized, hairy, tarantula-sized muhfuggas.

Would you like to be confronted with one of these?

I am very sorry.  It HAS to die.

I suffer from Indiana Jones Syndrome. I despise snakes. Why does it have to be SNAKES?

Lol @ indiana jones syndrome. My mom and daughter have an unholy fear of snakes. Their phobias have provided some of the most hilarious moments in our family history. Every and anything can be mistakenly identified as a snake, commensurate with fits of screaming and egress.


As for my own

#5 Harrowing Heights (Slight)

I've been to the empire state building and for some reason, I feel compelled to go over the edge. Strangest thing. It's like my body has some sort of free-fall fetish it wants to indulge in.

#8 Frightful Flight

I'd rather walk, swim, drive, crawl or take a boat to my destination than jump on the iron eagle. Whenever caught on one (mandated by job or spouse), my strat is to fall asleep before lift off and awake on arrival.

#10 Dentist

It's not going to hurt???? It's not going to hurt??? Lying a$$ m$th@r fc%k*s

Got one that isn't listed in the top 10. Fear of Jackspaniards. Especially the black 7 mile variant. Got stung as a baby and I can still remember it. That experienced got seared into the front of my brain yes.

Mine's number 2. Especially large flying insects like locusts and winged roaches. Almost broke my leg from jumping off my computer

too fast when a cockroach flew through the window. lol. I get kinda jittery when having to speak in front of crowds too, but nothing to serious.

No fear of the others. Got bitten by a dog when was probably 10 for being too brave. Still eh fraid dem. :mellow:
