What weird things are you scared of?

[Urban Sports]

I'm terrified of Spiders, I know it's common but I am terrified, my house seems to attract the ones that are the size of saucers, my garage is like the lair from Aliens, this however is not weird IMO.

My weird thing is standing next to ships, for some reason I find it quite hard to look at black and white pictures of them as well, show me one of a sinking or partially sunken / wrecked one and I'd rather eat a spider!!

Being in water when I cannot feel/see the bottom.

Eek!

[A1GOY]

Having sticky tape on my fingers. It's worse if it's on my fingernails. HATE it.

Had a moth in our apartment with a wingspan of eight inches the other day.

Dad used to have a small outboard-powered dinghy and we'd go up and down rivers in it when I was a child. Once, when in Falmouth, we passed close to the Naval vessels - massive ships that although moored and completely stationary, were riding high in the water, exposing most of their propellers. And that made me almost rigid with fear. And it's a feeling I can recall with perfect "understanding" nearly 40 years later.

I have a needle phobia. And blunt pencils being dragged across paper make me want to climb the walls.

[vrooom]

I got needle phobia. Has been known to punch nurses who tried to pin me down

[Steamer]

Not exactly scared of, but I dont like:

Canal Locks - just wouldnt like to fall into one! No issues with water or swimming - just don't like locks.

Buttons - Pointless ones on clothes for decoration!

Churches and general old buildings like that, guess cathedrals, steeples, bells etc type, make me very uncomfortable and I don't have the slightest clue why. Castles, old houses etc don't have the same effect at all. I'm weird

[Herbie58]

Bridges, not in general, I can walk on them no problem, but put me in a car and tell me to drive over it and it freaks me out hugely. I vary between driving so slow I am a pain in the arse or driving so fast over it I'll get done.

I have this unfounded irrational fear that I'll come off the bridge in the car and be stuck inside drowning. I go through all sorts of scenarios, tyre blowing out and gong over edge, or someone hitting me and shunting the car over the edge and so on.

Fingers and toes.
If I stop and think about the sharp bones we all have at the end of our fingers and toes beneath our flesh, I get very agitated. The thought of those sharp bones, ugh! In fact typing this is actually a real nightmare for me because I am pushing down on keys and thinking about those piercing bones inside my finger tips, pushing into my flesh
Don't even get me started on the nose bone!
I call them daggers, and yes I am seriously typing using the sides of my fingers now!

I don't have a problem with the jab itself, but for some reason I have an uncontrollable physical reaction to a jab. Last time I had to have one, the nurse looked at me after jabbing me and said, "I've just watched the colour drain from your face - are you ok..?" to which I replied no. I'm a big bloke and she said, "You'd better lie down, I won't have a hope in hell's chance of picking you up if you faint." 15 minutes lying on the bed and I was finally back to normal.

I don't know why, but I go really weird and it's not my fault.

I have the jab thing too, last time I had one I had to talk to the nurses for a long time, after much talking I had it done, I called them a star, thanked them and walked into the waiting room.
I got an actual round of applause from people waiting in the waiting room, turns out the door was open and they all heard my desperation
