Really Chris? I love nothing better than silence, I hate extraneous noise .... but then I like spiders too, and I know they scare many ABers witless.

All my phobias stem from claustrophobia -the fear of being trapped.Major debilitating ones are lifts like 2sp (must have been horrendous for you) and being stuck in a traffic jam usually on a motorway or one way street.Hopeless with public transport as well -again the lack of being in control.Im with you anne -the 'p' word is banned in my house and I can barely read it :(

I guess you have the Radio/TV on all the time then Chris.

Nice to see the word phobia being used in its proper meaning of fear, rather than the hijacked meaning of dislike/hate.

Worms, maggots, catepillars, grubs, slugs....................anything like that. I don't mind spiders, snakes, mice etc. though.

heights and deep water

[starone]

There is no way I could get on an escalator, either up or down. I am also afraid of heights.

[boxtops]

actually yes, me too cazz, walking along a pier is a no-no for me.

[cazzz1975]

lol box, yes, me too, I didnt realise I had an issue with heights until I went on a big wheel, I have never liked expanses of water, I can cope with a beach but that could be because the deep is further away ;)

[boxtops]

AArgh, you have reminded me cazzz, I went on a big wheel at the Derby fair one year, not realising - when I got to the top and it started going down backwards, I tried to get out - good job we are tied in, I won't ever do that again. the London Eye does not appeal.

Bananas - they can put me in hospital

[anneasquith]

bananas? a phobia ?

[boxtops]

That sounds more like an allergy!

Anything with more than 4 legs, I know a lot about bugs as it goes and have a fairly healthy respect for them but I absolutely can't stand them. I also hate walking down stairs/escalators/spiral staircases, fine going up but always think I'm going to lose my balance when walking down.
