baffled2's post about the creepy building got me thinking about fears and stuff... So what is your greatest fear?

I'd have to say my biggest fear is getting cut by blades in any way, you know these:Example.

fear of middle eastern people. I went into an Indian restaurant the other day and the waiter had a towel on his head. When he asked me if I wanted more water, I almost plssed my pants!

lightning.

Ever since Hurricane Hugo, I have been afraid of being struck by lightning. I wont even dare go near a window during a thunderstorm.

Great heights. Right behind would be big and/or creepy-looking arachnids & insects. :Q :eek:

No problem w/worms, snakes or other creatures oddly...

Don't see why you almost pissed your pants... India isn't in the middle east. :p

I don't like spiders, but I'm not totally scared of them. I have no problem getting close enough to take one out.

Needles (the ones that give you shots) on the other hand, ugh. I really really really really don't like needles. I hate when they show people on movies getting shots. Do we really need to see that? Damn, I'm getting uncomfortable just thinking about it.

my real greatest fear is:

damaging my testicles.

I had a close call with my nuts when I was like 6, and ever since then, especially when I got older, I have always feared messing them up. just this morning I was taking a leak and I was like "hey where's my other nut" and I had a sigh of relief when I found it, it was just sitting kinda high.

getting hit in the face. i have an eye condition(lattice degeneration) which means a blow to the head could leave me partially or totally blind, so i'm very protective of anything near my face.

For me, it would definitely have to be drowning. I just couldn't imagine having to take that first breath of good ol' H2O.

It's probably why I enjoy kayaking so much. :D

Heights, drowning, and losing my teeth. I've had dreams ever since I was little about losing my teeth, usually at least one every other week :confused: I don't recall having a traumatic tooth incident ever so I don't know why I have them...

I don't like heights, spiders, and starting to dislike needles. I'm starting to dislike needles as the last time I got a blood test, the doctor stuck a needle in my right arm and couldn't find my vein when I plainly see it myself. After about 5minutes of moving the needle left and right in my arm he finally listened to what I was saying and got the blood.
