What about talking in front of people?

Think of it this way, 90% of the audience is daydreaming and the other 10% don't give an ats rass about what the speaker is saying.

I get this #10...I’d rather vote Democratic than go to the dentist. I'm the complete opposite. I'd rather go to the dentist than vote Democrat. At least they numb you and can give you nitrous at the dentist. If they numbed me up and gave me nitrous before I voted, I might be tempted to vote Democrat... LOL.

Well, not that you mentioned it, yes, I must have blocked the puppet thing out...

I find mimes, clowns and now puppets creepy. Can’t say they scare me, but I avoid them.

[Woebama]

Yes. I believe I’ve been bit recently as well.

[Bad Jack Bauer]

Not cool, Dude. Not cool at all!

Actually, “Phobia” means “Fear”.

I am not “Afraid” of anything.

I ride a Harley, Fly rickety Old Antique Aircraft, and hike live volcanoes.

“LOATHING” is more like it! LOL!

I’m no stranger to phobias. I still suffer from a fear of open spaces, especially certain buildings that are huge.

I also still have the remnants of a fear of choking, which has an interesting name of phagaphobia (not to be confused with homophobia). I had a choking exerience a couple of summers ago, and I became terrified of eating and swallowing. Thankfully, I saw a doctor and he put me on medication, and I’m much better now, but I still have flashbacks.

I'm not real fond of spiders, but at least you have a reasonable chance of squashing them with your foot.

A long-tailed, low-humming yellow jacket hovering in front of your face, or flying around the interior of your car as you desperately search for an exit; that's a definite phobia of mine.

An entire nest of the b*****ds...now THAT puts me over the edge!

[Kramer and Jerry are talking in Jerry's apartment. ]

Jerry: If I'm gonna live over there, you gotta take some of this stuff out. I mean this thing is really freaking me out. I feel like its gonna come to life in the middle of the night and kill me.

[Jerry holds up a doll]

Kramer: Mr. Marbles? He's harmless.

[Responsibility2nd]

Puppets, yes. And jokers. And Socialists.

[SonOfDarkSkies]

No fear? Ain't skeered?

You just ain't met this guy yet!

1. Snakes Check

2. Spiders Check

3. Closed spaces Depends if there is a door. I know i can get out a small space doesn't bother me. Being buried alive would freak me out badly

4. Another person If the other person is Obama Check

5. Heights Enjoy them

6. Darkness Not Afraid of the Dark

7. Thunderstorms I Think extreme weather is cool

8. Flying Fun, but not when combined with Thunderstorms.

9. Dogs Pets, but I don't like them flying my plane in a thunderstorm.

10. Dentist No Problem there, now the Proctologist on the other hand...

[jonno]

[Woebama]

I don’t think I have any phobias. But I’m scared of everything on that list . . . or have been.
