Eternity. Or more accurately, eternity without an infinite number of things to do. Being bored sucks. Being bored forever is infinitely more horrible.

Having to have my prostate removed before I've lost my virginity.

Thats probably something that scares 90% of the people on here :)

1) Spiders
2) open water
3) heights , but I love flying for some reason :p

I'd say Godzilla, but the West coast is closer to that

But 90% of the people here haven't already had prostate problems. It'd be freak chance for them. Not for me.

No but it's a very common problem for middle aged men hence the comment about most people on here would be scared of the same thing (thats actually what I thought you meant as well sorry)

The only thing that has actually elicited fear in me over the years is the brown-recluse spider. I was infested with the bastards a few years back, and everywhere I went I would find them (shower, closet, bed, stairs, etc.) It's ironic, because I actually love spiders.

Thats about it. And God help the person if I get my hands on him and he's done either of those.

I'd have to agree with that. I don't have children, but the same applies to anyone in my family.

Bugs of any kind. Spiders, roaches, etc. I'm just scared that it has legs and looks freaky looking and that it might just crawl up all over me. I recently ate my first crawfish reluctantly because all the legs reminds me of a bug and that freaked me out. Even if I kill one and pick it up to throw it in the trash - I'm afraid it's playing dead and will just crawl all over me.

I'm also afraid of papercuts. Just thinking about it makes me cringe.

My worst fear is ending up alone. I look at how my father is kind on unbearable on a lot of our family and I realize I have some of those traits. I'm also kind of shy so that doesn't help my cause either.

My old girlfriend was the same way, though I think she hated clowns more so than just being scared of them. No idea why though - I always used to joke that someone must have made her watch IT when she was little, but she swears that wasn't it. That said, she refuses to watch that movie.

anything happening to my kids or my wife. The thought crosses my mind at least once a day that I hope they are safe when I'm not around.

thats all that scares me, that and Johnny Cash's, "When the Man Comes Around" that is an intense song that gets my pulse rate up.

I was going to say death, but having faced it, literally face to face lately, it doesnt scare me anymore.

I'll think about this a bit more and come back to it...

So many people here are scared of spiders...what if Syringer actually got bitten by the spider and gained aquaman like command powers over spiders. He may be preparing to strike at this very moment and there would be so little resistance.

I for one, welcome our new Syringer overlord.

My doctor said I have an enlarged prostate, although it seemed normal otherwise. I'm only 23.
