I don't know. However I will entertain you with some of them.
The clogged, overflowing toilet. Speaks for itself. It's happened to all of us..
Swallowing hairs. I gag really bad whenever I find a hair in my mouth, so whenever I feel a strange tickle on my tongue, I freak out a little and rinse my mouth with water.
I guess my beloved old PC biting the bucket. The thing is like half as old as I am and still functional (and I am 24).
A fire in my home. It's never happened, but I don't know if I would panic or not. I would like to think I would douse it with water right away, but I am only human. We always think we'll be fine, but what if we're not?
My fax machine ringing, bringing more work... heh just kidding, my spine does crawl a little whenever it does ring though... I even got a paper advertisement through my fax machine once, and I didn't even know that was possible. Wasted my ink!
Getting sick/dying; I think this one comes with being human though.
I used to hate stinging insects/spiders, but I'm so sick of feeling apprehension around them that I have rage. Whenever I see them in my home I squash the little ... fuckers. If I saw a bee I would seriously punch it to death.
teach that thing to be in my home!

I'm pretty sure teaching is one of those professions that we can't exactly get rid of...Paksenarrion said:
The fact that you had to clarify made me bust out laughing.Phlakes said:
OT: I have a weird issue with being around anything rotten. I'm fine with spiders, snakes, heights, the dark or any other phobia but I still can't touch rotten food.
Edit:Oh, I'm not sure if this counts but I'm clumsy so I'm always feel uneasy around pregnant women since I have a fear that I'll fall or knock something over and hurt the unborn baby.
Dude totally hear ya. Whenever I see those black bruises in bananas I just throw the whole thing away. Yuck.Drakmeire said:
not much really phases me i guess it would be just what is ahead of me in life as i'm still quite young and it's hard to explain it.
If I will ever go insane. I don't mean the joking insane that everyone on forums talks about, but I just mean that if ever the continual whirring in my head, all my insecurites become something that breaks me down and I lose sense of reality, or go into severe depression.
That sort of thing.
That sort of thing.
Fear. Ah, yes. I must have this...somewhere.
*Rummages around in own head*
The trouble with fear is that, basically, if you haven't found yourself afraid of a particular thing, you can't know what it is that you fear. I haven't been confronted with something to be repeatedly afraid of. Rather, the things I've encountered in my life are not what I fear. The thing that I fear is still out there and I haven't met it yet.

I'm afraid of security, or security checks. Like customs in the airport. Which is why if it is possible I will always drive over fly. What drives me so crazy is how pointless it all is, If I am going to fly I am going to be in a metal box hundreds of feet in the air there isn't a single aspect of that that is safe so stop wasting my time and your time and lets just get on the freakin plane.
Tornadoes, tbh. I had one of the most traumatizing experiences involving a tornado when I was about six, and it's really stuck with me. Even at twenty-one I don't feel safe during a thunderstorm.
AH GOD YES! anytime i turn a page and there is a wasp or nasty bug right where my hand was i freak and nearly break the sound barrier having my hand flip the page so fast. even just thinking of the book(s) right now is making my skin crawl =\redisforever said:
fuck bugs. i understand they are necessary and i'm not about to commit "genocide" of a species (unless its all types of bees. fuck off) but i hate bugs with a passion.
Wasps are usually not stinging insects I'm pretty sure, they tend to bite. Bees are the asshole harpoon guns. If I am right, enjoy your liberation from fear. If not, enjoy our hostile planet.me.vicky said:
My biggest fear is probably regret. Not to sound emo, but mistakes are the one thing in life that nobody regrets in the end. Be brave and make more
Water... absolutely terrified of water. Not even what's in it... just water. Any sort of large amount of water that isn't contained frightens me when I'm close to it. It really is ridiculous how scared of it I am.
