This too.

If my feet can't touch, I'm not going in.

...I love boating/fishing though...

Pah. Swimming is as awesome as boating.

QFT, love swimming. And we're related to dolphins, so swimming should be natural!

I actually sleep well at night. Its not because I have a 9mm in the night stand drawer nor the M4 leaning against the wall nearby within reach. Nothing more reassuring then chambering a round in both weapons when my wife think its someone in the house.

How often does your wife think people are in the house??

I pity the fool if he ever catches someone! (the intruder, not Jman!)

My Phobia is Driving, honestly. But only because I was in an incident :x.

Also, Arachniphobia + Insecophobia ((Ironic, as I play Nids))

**kamakazepanda**

Balloons, (the plastic ones).

More importantly, where are these burglars that require two firearms to stop coming from?

Mine is pitch darkness. I actually can't walk around in my house at night without flipping on damn near every light switch between my room and wherever I'm walking to (usually the kitchen). I can only fall asleep if I leave the TV on since I know it's glowing on the room.

**JohnnoM**

Looking over tall balconies. ESPECIALLY if I have to even slightly raise my heels.

**guyperson5**

I am a fearful person. I dislike heights but I did manage to do an 18.5metre free fall drop thing. Twice.

I do avoid bees but I do not fear them as such.
Other fears are small spaces, spiders and chaos daemons.

Bicycles, but only when I can hear them behind me but cant see them..... I feel they have the potential to do so much damage. Oh and when people watch me walk it gives me the creeps... Like they're predators trying to assess wether I'm a weak member of the pack. Love spiders though, or at least displaying them to those that cant stand them.

**4oursword**

I fear nothing...
My girlfriend on the other hand? Spiders, Water, Insects of any kind...

**Cerebrium**

Mottophobic.

(Not a fear of mottos!)

**Red Comet**

Idk what it is, but I can't get near bugs or even kill them. The very sound of a bug being crunched underfoot makes me cringe...

Not a phobia, but certainly an irrational hatred. I enjoy studying marine biology, all phylums. I LOVED scuba diving, every second, including the sharksucker that was very interested in me (it was a little freaky under water, but cool to look back on). But once while snorkeling, jellyfish appeared in the water. Nothing bad, just some variety of Cassiopea. I now fething. Hate. Jellyfish. They're cool to study, but when you're in the water, you can look around and mentally note where all local jellies are, go down, resurface 3 feet away, turn around, and BOOM! 1 inch form your face. I enjoy studying them, but I hate swimming with them.

Comb Jellies are awesome, though. Like little "Phi Phenomenon" lights, in the water.
