What silly (and not silly) things are you afraid of?

Just curious! Are you afraid of anything silly that others might think is odd? And what other more common things are you afraid of?

latex balloons. everyone that knows me well knows this...and some torture me...most laugh at me. It's about the popping I guess...I seriously plug my ears if in the same room/area that there are any latex balloons. (I'm perfectly fine with mylar because they rarely pop!) Party City is like a nightmare!!!

spiders are common to be afraid of...def don't like them either, not as bad as I was growing up...but none-the-less, still fear them!!!

what about YOU!?

Ever since the OJ Simpson chase when I was going into 8th grade I have been mildly afraid of white Broncos and also David Coresh and the whole Waco thing used to give me nightmares.

I guess you can say I have a fear of heights at times-it's situational though. I also get panic striken in the dark sometimes, yet I have to have the room pitch black to sleep. Not a fan of creepy crawly bugs-centipedes, spiders, etc...and I hate killing them!

I don't think I have a fear of anything really out of the ordinary...one that might be strange is that I hate passing semis on the thruway...I'm afraid a tire will burst or something stupid (FYI that actually happened to my Moms friend and it was a serious accident!)

fireworks. I've gotten much better but I don't like them. It's b/c when I was young we were at Myrtle Beach sitting on a fence on the beach and a firework came down next to me almost touching my leg.

I don't like having to stop at a train track. I get nervous because I feel trapped and someone will come up to my car. Was this on a movie or something? I don't know how this started but it makes me really nervous. I stop pretty far away from the car in front of me and plan out my escape route haha.

I knew Jewels was my long lost sister. I am TERRIFIED of fireworks.. If i am too close to them I literally have to like duck and cover my head.. I am so afraid of them hitting me. I remember once i was at Disney and I could feel the heat from them on my face and I nearly had a nervous breakdown.

I am also terrified of fire in general. If anything is on fire that isn't supposed to be.. even if its small.. (like a piece of paper or something) I flip out.

Motorcycles scare me. I don't like driving near them because I feel like they will crash and I will see it.

I am terribly afraid of spiders. I'm getting better, but I can't even handle looking at a picture or watching one on the TV. I get majorly panicky and can't get it out of my head.

I also get scared going over bridges. It just freaks me out and I think about it collapsing...b/c that happens so often.

I am fearful of my house catching on fire, which is funny because I am married to a firefighter.

I'm only scared of large spiders, which is a great thing because my DH is VERY SCARED of any spider, so I'm designated spider-killer. I'm scared of snakes! They give me the chills any time I see them. I can't think of anything else right now....

I'm afraid of passing big trucks on the highway too, have been since I was little and saw a truck overturned. Also, do not like snakes and rodents (who does?) not really scared of them, but they freak me out.

We have a big house and I don't like going to sleep when my H isn't home. So silly, but I get paranoid that someone is going to be in the house.

I'm terrified of thunderstorms. They are worse for me at night. Sometimes if they are super bad I get mildly panicky. I keep thinking that lightening is going to hit the house or a freak tornado is going to spring up and kill us. When I'm visiting friends down south and it's thunderstorm/tornado time.....there are nights were I sleep with my sneakers on and I have escape plans too.

I hate bugs in my house but we pretty much have a no kill motto unless we can't get them any other way. I don't like killing things.

I get nervous going to sleep when J isn't home. I feel like I have to have our bedroom door closed, but then i'm scared someone will come and take L and I won't hear them. It's a little battle that goes on in my own head. Good thing the hubby isn't away very often. I too HATE latex balloons! Especially when one is given to a child! Come on people! It's bound to pop and scare not only the kid but ME! haha!

I'm deathly afraid of falling. Not heights, just falling. I can be up on the highest part of the CN Tower in Toronto and be fine because it's enclosed, but am so paranoid when I'm on a stepladder.

I'm terrified of being locked in a store at closing. Seriously, if I hear, "Fifteen minutes to closing" I start to panic - breathe faster, sweat. I've never been locked in anywhere so I don't know where it comes from.

And fireworks too. I used to hide inside all the time when anyone had them. I once was at a fireworks show in PA and the stuff started to rain down on us.
