Wasps. They are like Phyrexian-ized Honeybees, turning a helpful innocent insect into a weaponized killer. the fur on the bees was replaced by Armor. Plus they sting multiple times.
Your irrational fear.

I've got a whole list of fears:
Spiders
Loneliness
Failing/getting in situations where I could embarass myself
People I haven't met
People I don't know
Large groups of people
Being touched by people I haven't known long enough
Wasps (Bees are too stupid really. I kinda feel sorry for them and try to guide them outside)
Probably snakes/scorpions/ anything in Australia (I WILL NEVER GO TO AUSTRALIA or anywhere with lots of stuff that can kill me. I am a big chicken)
Death
Aggression. I don't like it. I try to avoid confronting people because other people yelling at me makes me freeze up and get defensive.
Furbys
Creepy Dolls
Heights
Being by myself at night (I get incredibly unsettled. Especially if there are groups of people around)

I know that feeling. A lot of people don't quite understand it since everyone has it at some level.canadamus_prime said:
But I know for myself it can be almost a paralysing fear. It takes a huge amount to get me to do something I feel I'll fail at. I'd rather not try at all. I know it's backwards but I can't stop myself.
And humiliation... I feel I'll change people's views of me permanently and will never be able to have friends thanks to it. Thus leading to the next bit.
I'm also scared to be helpless, specifically that I will put myself into the state. It will probably never happen, but I'm still terrified of it happening.
Well for me I first recognized my fear of being helpless only just a couple of years ago when I was in college, although I'm pretty sure I've always had it; but it was when I was trying to follow along in class and I'd fall behind for whatever reason, either the computer wouldn't cooperate or I just couldn't find the right menu option (it was a course in Multimedia BTW) or something else would go wrong and of course the instructor would just keep plowing on ahead and if I couldn't get help right away I'd get almost panic attack level anxiety.J-meMalone said:

Let's see here: Fear of getting cut, fear of getting burnt and fear of mannequins.
Okay, the first two have a story. When I was young, I accidentally broke a window and a large shard of glass flew into my forearm and naturally it quite bled a lot and I have a scar on that spot still. The scar seems to have shrunk after these very numerous years, though. Note that I am not scared of getting cut when preparing food or doing other stuff with sharp objects, but rather the concept of intentionally cutting myself. For example like when hunters cut their hand open to get blood scent to a trap.
Then we have the burning incident, or incidents rather. When I was about 2 or 3 years old, I was in my grandfather's kitchen in Finland. There they had a space between a cupboard and a refrigerator which I decided to stand between. While I was there, I accidentally yanked a cable leading to a coffee percolator which then got stuck between my back and the cupboard. A boiling hot percolator and coffee pouring down, you get the point. Effectively half of my back had second or third degree burns. Then years after that, when I was a few years older, I was going to the sauna in which my grandfather was holding a big scoop of water, you know those with several liters of capacity, and it was filled with boiling water. He accidentally got bumped into by either me or my brother, and he ended up dropping the entire contents of the scoop onto my back which again suffered quite bad burns. Since then, I have been afraid of getting burned.
And then I'm scared of mannequins because they are just freaking scary. Every time, in the back of my head, I think about the plastic human-like figures starting to move, grabbing me when I get close or some shit. They land right in the uncanny valley for me, and actually got my heart beating pretty good during the mannequin sequence in Condemned 2.
TL;DR - I am scared of getting cut and burned because of previous injuries, I am scared of mannequins because they're scary.

Fish, god damn fish.
If anything I can give way that my fear of fish is the cause to my swimming ability.

I wanna say the dark but really it's more dark spaces.
At night, I always turn on just about every light because I get all weirded out and uncomfortable when I see a door open and just straight darkness inside.
You can associate it with looking down the stairs to the dark below... I guess it's like that. It just unnerves me. I need to see what's in or down or up there! Lights on! My closet in particular has no light so when I go to bed, it's always closed first and foremost. I can't focus because I'll be too busy staring at the damn closet and the unknown of the darkness. Nevermind that I was just in there a few moments ago.
Or a window where it's night and so dark you can't really see that far out. Also spooky and why all blinds are shut at any and all times.

Small, fast, airborne things, because I'm not sure if it's an insect, a scrap of paper, or a hallucination. Sortof a fear of completely losing my mind and no longer being able to determine 'reality' from random fever-dream delusion, making me quite unable to do much of anything beyond probably getting killed because I think a nearby cliff is a portal to the upside down chocolate factory or whatever. Seems like an unpleasant(ish), if unlikely way to go. Still, every time I see something wiz by, I wonder for just a split second. Thus: I hate summer a little bit more.
Also: Dark-haired girls, moreso if pale.
Pretty much that. Oddly, I didn't find Sawako (or whatever the girl in The Ring's name was) half as scary.

Here is proof that elevators are safe.Phasmal said:

An elevator won't fall if the cable snaps. The only bad thing that can happen is if it breaks down...
Snakes, even the harmless ones, or just certain snake-like animals. They?ve scared the shit out of me for as long as I can remember. I can?t even look at one without chills going down my spine and having to turn away. And stupidly watching Snakes on a Plane because my brother was watching it in our bedroom didn?t help things either. Once, my friend was chasing me around the park with a slow-worm, and he thought it was hilarious, but I got so pissed off with him I threatened to leave the park.
Death. It?s pretty much the embodiment of ?the unknown?. No-one alive knows death feels like or what happens afterwards. I don?t believe in an afterlife. I?m not sure about reincarnation. It?s most likely complete unconscious nothingness, but it?s hard to imagine?well, life just not being there. Even if I?m not happy about my own right now.
Failure. I have low self-esteem, so I think that I?m bad at pretty much everything and have no hope for the future. I absolutely brick it when I think about starting sixth form next month. I don?t know how I?m going to survive, and I?m ridiculously clumsy and impractical.
And this is probably the weirdest one: grapes. I don?t know why; I just can?t stand looking at the things. My mother once forced me to eat some and I just threw up. I mean, it?s not so much a fear as it is a strong revulsion.
