OK - that wasn't something I should not have done right before eating tuna.

Re: What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you?
I'm not so scared of wild animals. Except timberwolves. Some nights when I get home, the long walk from the garage to the house in near pitch black is a little nerve-racking. But I live out in the country.
Once I walked out to my car with the girlfriend and kid. I was parked in front of my garage, with the garage door wide open. We are almost to the car, and she says "Pete, look at the kitty!" It was a cat alright. A rather large bobcat was in my garage, batting at his reflection in a mirror, about 10 feet from us, but we startled him. I stood between the cat and my girlfriend/kid until they were in the car, then I carefully got in the car. I was mostly scared of what a cornered animal would do. |

Spiders. Started as a kid after watching "Curse of the black widow", then my Grandmother would squish Black Widows with her palm (one tough Grandma) which really freaked me out. as a young adult I did crawl-under insulation for PG&E ZIP program in Chico, CA. We'd have to use folding shovels to dig trenches under floor joists, lay on our back and pull ourselves up to each section of floor to insulate. One time, I reached up, pulled myself to the next section and was nose to nose with a huge black widow. I pretty much freaked as I was somewhat trapped with the floor joist against my chest. My work partner was a little guy and he scrambled to me and drug me out by the leg. I quit that job that day.
Always been terrified of the bastards after that. Was bitten by a brown recluse some years later and had a horrible wound from that. Me and spiders don't get along. |

Decaf Coffee.
Wait... that isn't a "fear." I will get back to you after I finish the contemplation of hosting my Waffle Thread. |

I have had teeth pulled over the years and never once was GA ever suggested.

I don't know why they scare me so much. I must have repressed my traumatizing childhood experience. :sh |

I routinely kill brown recluses with my hand. They're flimsy, kill easy. I don't do that with Black Widows though. I use a stick or whatever is handy. Never been scared for spiders or snakes. While it will make many people cringe, I've often considered having a tarantula as a pet, and letting it run free in the house. However, my wife would shoot me, right after she shot the spider! |

Throwing up doesn't scare me, or even really play into the phobia itself. It really started out as something that I was mildly afraid of and I just kind of got interested in it and thought that if I learned about it then I would see that it is as safe as putting on a bandaid. But the more I read... the more terrified I became... It really didn't help any that the first book on Anesthesiology I read was almost begun with these words... almost verbatim: Though Scientists have yet to fully understand HOW General Anesthesia affects the brain... they have nearly perfected the actual manipulation of the drugs and procedures." I'm sorry... but I don't care how many doctorates you have... Telling me that you're going to inject me with something that you don't know how it works? I think I'll pass... I dont care if you know exactly how much to use. Do some more research on it and get back to me. That's kind of like saying... we don't know how this saw that we are going to use to cut open your cranium works... but we know that it does work. And that we are really good at it. Pardon me for being skeptical but I'm not so convinced... mmmmkay? And on top of it... I don't like the ieda of relinquishing control of myself to someone I've barely met... If my anesthesiologist was a life long friend whom I trusted with my very life... I probably would have no qualms about it. But what if this guy/girl's wife/husband just got caught sleeping around and the dude's head isn't in the game... I don't want to be a victim if said infidelity. Maybe I'm just not the type of person is trusting of strangers... even strangers with licenses and degrees that say they know what they're doing... but in any case. If I wake up with a leg missing or something like that I swear they better hope they cripple me freakin good otherwise I will literally bite their legs off... assuming they actually fix my tooth. |

floating out in the open ocean....There is honestly very few things in the world I'm actually scared of except for THAT. I can swim and have done some type of underwater maneuvers where I had to fight my way out but not knowing what's coming up from underneath and just floating... *shivers*
