A little off topic, but that's alright...

Prety much anything medical , needles , surgery etc , i just go nuts even thinking about it. hell i can't even watch any of the the medical shows they have on tv sometimes. its not the blood either , i saw plenty of gory stuff and it doesn't bother me at all but the sight of seeing a scalpel cut someone up (never happened to me thankfully) *shudder*

My worst fear is something happpening to my wife or son. I know I could'nt handle that.
On a lighter note, I've had some scary stuff happen to me and I have to say it's put the fear of god into me at the time but made me a stronger person afterwards.
Never had a fear of flying until my first emergency landing-I seriously thought my no. was up! It left me spooked for a while and then I chilled out, relaxed and found myself on a 737 leaking fuel over Belgium a year later! Needless to say, I'm still here and we landed safely,thanks to a great pilot. It was a close run thing though. The best bit was my wife was with me and when I told her "Don't worry-I've done one of these before." She thought I had completely lost my marbles!
Another thing that bothers me is guns-I don't like them being pointed at me. I've been detained in various airports around the world at gunpoint, the worst experience being Nairobi airport. I local cop pointed a ready to fire AK-47 at my head because I was smoking outside the terminal building! Mind you, I managed to calm him down, so I guess these things can improve my communication skills! Also an important health lesson here too-smoking can get you killed!

Oh ya, these things are so big that most insurance companies have a separate insurance rider just to cover the damage when they strike the cars. Big mothers, BIG,BIG, King Kong would be scared, they carry off small children if your not watching, even big dogs, and sometimes horses

I'm all over baby!
I had to expand my horizons since it gets tiresome telling those guys that the Aztec is not a real airbrush.

lol mike!!!



This thread is scarying me!!!!

OOOOOOO i got it!!!!!


Building another tank scares me!!!!!

Other than something happening to my wife and kids, would have to be another intoxicated,uninsured idiot finding my car the hard way again. Mainly because with that comes dealings with heatlh insurance& car insurance adjusters ( not directing that at anybody but the ones I happen to be dealing with).

Funny thing, I am a private pilot and enjoy aerobatics and whatnot with the airplane, also have climbed some steel now and then, but put me on a ladder ... totally different story.

For me it was always doing aerobatics under 2000 feet, as they say in my circles, give me altitude or I'll crap on the party.

snakes, eels, mouse/rat tails!

Getting shot when I deploy and not making it back so then my wife and soon to be born son will have to go on with out me, and a close second.....when I have to sleep on the ground scorpions and snakes getting in my sleeping bag or track.

Insects of any kind, even a photo of a bug creeps me out. Doctors, Nurses, needles, hostpitals dont scare me any more. I had a quintupal (sp?) cardiac bypass done last June, I lived through taht nothin' in a hospital bothers me now

I hear ya, Used to do roofing and the only hard part was getting to the roof! I have no problems 60' of the ground ina any type of lift but 20' on a ladder-NO WAY!
BTW: I love to fly too, couple miles up with no visible means of support. Turbulance-no problem, aerobatics-bring 'em on. No ladders please!

Oh, man, do I remember those... I lived in a trailer park outside Ft. Benning years ago and the pay phone outside the manager's office was inundated with them at night; I was constantly in fear of being picked up and carried off by them...

Oh, yeah... and spiders of ANY size (so much for the macho thing)... Here in VT we have barn spiders, on some,the size of the body alone are those of silver dollars; Imagine my surprise when I stumbled across a web from one (and he was still home) when I opened the back door to my apartment...

My worst fears involve something happening to my family. Second are what happens to me after I take care of those responsible for what happened to my family. I used to be uncomfortable being spontaneously required to speak to medium to large groups without any notice or preparation, but that's been happening so often that I don't even think about it any more.
