[sean miguel]

Getting hit with a meteorite, in the head.

Alright, its Thread Thursday (something I just totally made up just now). Thread Thursday is where we come up with a topic for the board and you answer so we all keep off the neighbors lawn. Getting the hose turned on you is only as fun as the temperature of the water.

So our first topic doesn't fuck around. As it says, what's your irrational fear?

Ha ok. I guess this is a thing now. It works!

Bugs. I hate them, and they terrify me, even though many of them can't do anything to me. It's so bad that if there's a creepy bug on the door, I won't go inside. I'll just cower far, far away and hope it goes away.

Also afraid by the height.

Also agree with the dentist thing. And when I get called by the bank. Real scary

 

[dpantski]

I don't know if its really irrational or not but the concept of falling over.

The idea of leaning over something just a little too far and then losing control as I fall gives me an unpleasant feeling.

Oh and I seriously dislike Bees and Wasp's. I haven't gotten stung since I was a kid and I don't intend for that to change anytime soon.

Heights, as a kid I used to go on top of grain bins, and corn silos; now even going on the roof of a two story house gives me the frights.

Also raccoons, had one get in the attic a while ago, and I just kept picturing him falling through the ceiling of my bedroom and landing in bed with me. That one may not have been irrational, waking up with a pissed off raccoon would have been bad.

 

[Supafly]

Mice and rats. If I know there is one inthe place I am in, I instantly leave the place.

That's why I love cats. Problem's solved

 

[Mr_Stiffy]

Spiders. That's pretty irrational. They can't hurt me, but they fucking terrify me.

Strangely, big tarantula types that lumber don't bother me in the slightest. Only the ones that scuttle. I'm slightly unnerved by fast-moving snakes in the same way, but a mate used to have a huge python, and he was a top lad. You know, for a snake.

I have a really big fear of driving/ being driven into a lake/ body of water and drowning while trapped if I don't die of a heart attack first. haha

Sometimes I even have dreams that I'm in the car with someone who is driving over sinking docks.

When I lived by a bayou in the South I kept a window smasher/ seatbelt cutter in my car because I was THAT paranoid about it.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

wasps and spiders.

 

[Harpsman]

Heights

 

[SuperCJ79]

Spiders :eek:

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

Contracting cancer from muff diving.

 

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

When I touch something that is wet that is not usually wet not knowing what the wet is, why it is wet, how it got wet, and who or what made it wet.

 

[xfire]

Robots acquiring AI.

 

[BlinkAgain]

Insects bother me somewhat, but it's not a major fear.

Back in the '80s when I was going to elementary school, I used to have unpleasant dreams about going to school naked, and being embarrassed. I'm not sure why. Nowadays I very rarely have dreams at all, or at least any dreams that I can remember.

 

[mokbel69]

Irrational? Hmm that depends on what my anxiety is telling me what to fear at the time. So varies a lot.

 

[D-rock]

That humanity will get the intelligence to easily destroy itself while not being smart enough to keep itself from doing it.

The only thing about that is the more I think about it the more it doesn't seem like an irrational thought.

Move to England. There are millions there that share your phobia.
