But bees are calm it's wasps you need to be worried about.

Bees can be aggressive, especially when they build a nest in your tool shed.

Commitment




Also spider webs. not the spiders. just the webs. TZEENCH BE DAMNED!

Watching people walk through a spider web and then doing the Heebie-Jeebie dance fills my evil heart with joy!

The Heebie-Jeebie dance knows no discrimination.

You can be a tiny girly-nerd or a 350 lb NFL linebacker. When your face hits the spider web we all dance the same...

Swimming in deep water and large crowds.

Both are silly because I love boating, and I'm always going to concerts.

And spiders. I tried to leave those off...but feth spiders. Kill them, and their webs, with fire.

People who really like cats.

Not death - slowly ageing and decaying is much worse.

We have an alley down the side of our house. We have a spider who builds webs right across it.
I think he may be trying to catch people.
I always imagine him saying to his mate 'Dude, if I can get this right, we'll have food for YEARS.'

Meteor showers.

Blame Day of the Triffids for that one.

I used to be afraid of spiders. Then I moved into my current house, which had a mild brown recluse infestation. The things are horrible cowards luckily, and the glue traps sorted them out nicely. House centipedes give me a horrible case of the heebie jeebies, however. It's the legs. Nothing should have that many legs, let alone move like that. They're like tiny wriggling mustaches made of chitin...

In the less mundane department, death. Absolutely terrified of it, mostly the part where I stop existing, stop perceiving anything, and lose the capability to realize I'm not perceiving anything. If I were inclined to believe in hell, that'd be pretty close to it. On the bright side, it's been something of a boon in that said fear has helped with a couple bouts of depression and kept me from doing anything ill advised.

Angry bees, or wasps, hornets, yellowjackets, or their ilk.

Actually, mosquito's.
Last time I got bit, I ended up in hospital.

If I see one in my house it dies. No if's, no buts.
Everything else, we have a 'catch and release' policy

The Pink Elephants from Dumbo ...

Libyan jihadist hookers. Led zeppelin robots. Coffee being a dream.

The devil dogs from ghostbusters - particulary the one that chases Rick Moranis and ignores everyone else as it has 'chosen' him. It should've stopped to much half the crowd, but it ignored them completely.
Then the people ignore him during their dinner while he's banging on the window and screaming for help.
The stuff of nightmare's, especially for a 7 yr old. It didn't help that my parents house had big glass double doors, leading into an unlit garden. It was years before I went onto the back patio at night...

The Howling also scared me. But in my defense, I was 6 at the time...
Now that film is funny.

Gene wilder. Terrifying

The Ghost lady in the Library always scared the gak out of me in Ghostbusters

And the cyborg scene in Superman III always used to make me hide behind the settee

Aargh - I'd forgotten about the cyborg bit - when she's being wrapped up in wire....shudder...

I used to hide behind the settee for the Daleks, but then my mum put a telly behind the settee and I had nowhere to go...

I'm afraid of coral growing in my foot, or anywhere in my body.

I know fears are generally irrational, but coral...growing...on your body?

I'm officially scared of you Captain Fantastic.

The ghost in the library in ghost busters still cares me, Id forgotten about that , now i remember it...thanks

This. I like bees, and we have a large flower garden that attracts them during the summer. Their cute and fuzzy and people should respect them. Especially if they like Honey and mead.

after years of tunnels and the such, i am immune to the dance. There comes a point, where your head breaches yet another spider web and you just think "meh".

Oh, hush. You know what I meant

Claustrophobia of extrmely tight spaces, in that I can't look down to see my feet and that my elbows cannot be moved from against my body.

Elevators, ducts I can crawl in, closets, I'm fine.

Pin my elbows to my side and prevent me from moving? Chaos.

Those suckers will kill just about any other bug in your house though. They're awesome predators.

While that scene didn't scare me, it was surprisingly creepy somehow, especially in the middle of a fairly silly movie.

Some mornings when walking to feed the horses (still dark out) I hit 2-3 webs in the face. I don't even flinch though it sucks when they are at eye level and get in your eyes, especially when your hands are full and you can't wipe them out.

I really can't think of anything that really scares me. There are things I don't like but I've always been able to handle them. I honestly can't imaging being 'paralyzed by fear'. Maybe fear of failure? But that tends to be a motivating factor for me.

Not being able to move my arms or legs.

Needles.

And insanity. I'm most terrified by losing my mind.
