Some like to make fun of my seven irrational fears. But I don't think there is anything funny about them. We all have them. You know the ones, the things that scare you despite all rationality and reason. The things no one else seems to fear. The things people laugh at you for.
Fess up!
Here are mine, in no particular order:
1. Clowns - enough said.
2. Impaling - not that I am afraid of being impaled, I just can't stand to see any kind of impalement. That includes the needles on shots.
3. Things Falling Apart for No Reason - sometimes I lay in bed completely stricken with fear that my bed is just about to collapse. It paralyzes me.
4. Hitting My Head on the Diving Board While Doing a Flip - this scares me EVERY time I watch Olympic diving.
5. Putting Your Finger Inside a Coke Can - I don't know why, but it gives me the heebie jeebies.
6. Falling asleep in a car as a passenger - I fear the driver will fall asleep as soon as I do (a la Vacation), and so I have a very hard time sleeping in the car.
And finally...
7. Church Buses - Who thought it made sense to buy old, dilapidated school buses, the kind the GOVERNMENT no longer trusts to transport children around the city in, and put a ton of kids, their luggage and an inexperienced driver who may or may not have the proper license... and then... SEND THEM UP A MOUNTAIN TO CAMP?
So you see, no fear of heights, snakes or spiders. No normal fears, that I can think of... I don't like cockroaches... I'm sure I have some normal fears, but those are not the ones I dwell on.
So what are yours? Come on, I know I'm not the only one who worries about stuff like this.

Mine is that I'm going to come home from work one day and find the garage leveled and a big hole dug for a swimming pool. But that's crazy right? Seriously, that's not going to happen right?
I have an irrational fear of going to jail. If there is a policeman behind me while I am driving, even if I'm not speeding or doing anything wrong, I fear he will pull me over and take me to jail. I don't ever want to spend time in jail. Michelle, your fear of the coke can is not irrational. Jordan sliced his finger when he was about 1 1/2 by sticking his finger in one. It bled all over the place. I don't think Tim's fear is irrational at all. :-)
ok here it goes;
elevators falling to the bottom of the building.
someone grabbing me in a parking lot and me having to kill them to protect my kids.
needles anywhere sucking anything out of me.
clowns
freakilish touch, smiliey, happy go lucky all the time people. (they are up to something I swear)
being on the 3d floor or above of a hotel (married to a fireman ok?)
dying slow in any fashion
I am SO glad to see clowns on your list...I thought I was the only one. Dan think's I'm weird, but they truly freak me out. Some of my other ones are roller coaster cars flying off the track, airplane crashing into my house, being shot at work, drinking sour milk (I smell the carton every time I pour a glass!)
You guys are cracking me up! This is what I am talking about. I have NEVER worried about going to jail for no reason or airplanes crashing into my house.
Great irrational fears!
Christy, I do worry about the elevator thing. Part of my "things falling apart for now reason".
Snakes for sure. In the 21years I've lived in this house I seen three, then last year I seen 10 snakes. My new outside cat brought them all to me. Only about a foot long garder snakes, but they freak me out. Debbie
