Phobias?

[Smowball]

Do any of you have a phobia? Or at least something you are really scared of?

One of my sons has a phobia of wasps. If one goes within 10 feet of him he abosolutely freaks out and runs screaming in the opposite direction. And he is 19!
Hubbys is spiders, any other insects he is just fine but spiders,no matter how tiny, and he will literally go white and have to leave the room.

Driving on motorways. I am happy being driven by a good driver but cannot do it myself.

Not quite a phobia but I cannot touch someone elses used tissue or hanky.

Even Mr Cake's hankies have to be picked up using a t-shirt or something to separate me from the offending item.

If I see a used tissue on the floor of the office or anywhere I have to ignore it, there's no way I can pick it up and put it in the bin.

[ummmm]

I have a fear of heights and a fear of falling off things. I wouldn't call them a phobia though.

Clowns, spiders, snakes and Tony Blair ;)

My son is petrified of moths - no matter what size. Unfortunate, because we live in rural Wales & there are loads of moths round here. My late hubby hated bees - no idea why. He wouldn't hurt one, but they terrified him.

I cant bear daddy long-legs! All my dad's fault.
When I was about 7 he painted the kitchen and left all the doors open to dry. It was summer, and when i walked in there a few hours later there were what looked like hundreds of them stuck to the painted walls. Freaked me out!

Flying. Tried to get an Air Italia plane to turn back many years ago - have never flown since.

Oh, yes, my son is scared of clowns, too. Me? Just heights - I can't even climb a stepladder!!

[anneasquith]

I don't like heights .
Last night on Coast Nick Crane climbed up this mountain in Skye .I had to look away .It made me feel dizzy and that was just on the telly .I get dizzy on a little two step ladder .
That's about it really .Spiders and wasps don't bother me .
I have a huge son aged 32 who acts like a two year old if he sees a spider :)
