What Terrifies the Ever-Loving BAJEEZUS out of you? - Page 4

Smokin Gator · 11-01-2010, 06:46 PM

I can only think of two things I am scared of... my wife and God!! I used to be scared of being in a situation where I was out gunned. Now I carry large so I ain't scared of that anymore!!

Silound · 11-01-2010, 09:38 PM

Needles (syringes and similar) and eye drops destroy me.

I can't get a shot or get blood drawn without going into a mild state of shock or a panic attack. I don't know why, but needles bother me so bad I can't handle it. Even if I look away.

It did get me a date once...poor nurse was scared she had killed me with a shot, she was freaking out. That was the last time I forgot to mention my phobia before getting stuck.

Bill86 · 11-02-2010, 01:01 AM

Heights higher than 20 feet. After that, it's not the height I'm afraid of ...it's the falling down part.

Never had a problem with needles...spiders, the usual.

Aside from heights, I fear only the following.
1. Kids, I NEVER want any.
2. Marriage, I hope never to be tricked into this.

That's it.

Heights, but only the unsafe kind. Flying doesn't bother me a bit, but getting on a one story roof is out of the question.

And marriage as well. I've made it 35 years without it, here's hoping for another 50!

I discovered that same thing a week or so ago when I was up on my roof attempting to blow out my gutters with a leaf blower. I'd never been on a roof before. It wasn't the height so much as the getting back on the ladder part. It was a chilly morning spent up on the roof psyching myself up to get on the ladder to get down

Airplane height doesn't bother me, I find the view fascinating! most building heights don't seem to bother me, and I can stand on the edge of the Grand Canyon or the Green River Overlook all day. However, when I was a teenager, and immortal, I once climbed to near the top of a huge, abandoned Coal-mining dragline boom. Was doing great, until a wind came along, and I happened to look down! I didn't freeze, but I went into super-SloMo on the climb down. Last time I attempted anything like that!! Something about being that high, all alone, and no safety gear! However, I can climb a 50 foot tower and rappel down all day long. Still, I cant imagine ever climbing a drag-line boom again (my fat arse aside!)

Been there done that.

Found out yesterday that since the two wisdom teeth in question came in fully and sit up nice and high like normal teeth... there will be no need to Put me under. He said it would literally take longer to give me a local and wait for it to start working than it would to actually remove the teeth...

Being as such, he did warn me about something that scared the bajeezus out of me again...

He said that sometimes when they pull a wisdom tooth on the top side... it opens up a hole into your sinuses... which can lead to infection... which... scares the crap out of me... my sinuses already have enough holes.

And then he told me that sometimes pulling one from the bottom can leave part of your lip and tongue permanently paralyzed... both of which I use on a daily basis and would prefer them to stay in good working order...

Dentistry is a barbaric practice... but necessary I suppose.

I'm not sure I would call it a "fear" because that implies some level of rationality, but... I'm a claustrophobe, especially with large crowds. It's not like being afraid of something that can legitimately hurt you, like poisonous snakes or falling off your roof. Intellectually, I know that I can't be injured by being in a small, enclosed space. But if I'm in one, I panic; crowded elevators are the worst! It bothers me that I have this visceral reaction to something harmless. It seems to have gotten worse with age.

Cheers,
G

I'm extremely claustrophobic but what scares me the most is the thought of having to carry on a conversation with any of my wife's sisters and most of her brothers. It is a mind numbing, IQ lowering experience that requires hours of intellectual stimulation to bring me out of my coma.

Yes, I am extremely afraid of heights too and got stuck on my roof once. It was worse because there were snakes up there and they are my second greatest fear. Horibble day.

A real man admits his fears. That's what I'm asking you to do here tonight. Who wants to go first?

I'm afraid of spiders, Coach.

I love that movie

Not a great one but a lot of laughs

The dance scene in the prison was classic!

AIDS. that's gotta be pretty scary

Going Blind

Going deaf

Loosing sence of taste and smell, that would scare the shot out of any cigar lover.
