What silly/stupid things scared you when you were little?

[Mayne]

I was scared of the dark my whole childhood. I slept in my sister's bed for the first 10 years of my life.

Claustrophobia and Agoraphobia. Usually they are kinda seen as opposites, but I more or less don't like big wide open flat spaces and also dont like being in tiny little spaces .. I like being in the woods or in the hills.

After seeing Fantasia, I never trusted the broom under the stairs again.

Taking a crap in public. So many days I left school early for being "sick" cause I didn't want to poop at school.

Getting stuck in a bathroom that only has the turn knobs and not the handles to pull open. Got stuck in a KFC one when I was about 6 to piss. Washed my hands, and tried turning the knob. For whatever reason, my hands kept slipping on the knob and I couldn't turn it to open. Was stuck in there for like 10 mins before my parents sent my big brother to get me. Maybe why I'm claustrophobic.

Tomato worms used to scare the living crap out of me. My grandmother had a huge garden and the ones that could be found there were monsters. I was also convinced that they were extremely poisonous (probably a mischievous aunt or uncle got a good laugh telling me that).

Lobster. Even on the plate because I knew there was once poo in the lobster.

The Dark.
Cemeteries in the Dark.

Still hate the Dark--Will not sleep in the Dark.

I lived about a mile from a big Boston and Maine rail yard and they used to switch cars late at night. You could hear the switcher locomotive speed up, then quiet, then the box cars slam into each other.

Bubble gum. I really can't explain it.
