what is one of your irrational fears?

sinkholes count, even though it's not completely irrational.

AuntFlo

Tornados (like sinkholes, not completely irrational, but the chances are slim)

Clowns (also not completely irrational)

All of my teeth falling out

The teeth. I don't know if i grind my teeth during the night but I have frequent dreams about this and I wake up and they feel weird.

brown recluse spiders

GBCK

things in my eyeball.  All things eyeballs
water/drowning

water in my eyeballs as the logical extension of the above--I have to be physically restrained for eyedrops.

**O-Face**

Tripping and falling on concrete and having my teeth hit them and that SPECIFIC grinding noise.
*gag*

- The teeth thing for sure!! I've had dreams in the past about my teeth falling out. I've heard it can be linked to stress
- Clowns are just plain creepy (thank you John Wayne Gacy)
- Those "Kid in a Corner" dolls (there is a personal story behind that)

jojobrn

Heights, but I don't know if that is completely irrational.

Big spiders. Totally rational.

**O-Face**

YES I'm with Jojo, heights....sweaty hands, knocking knees, FROZEN.

GBCK

*waiting for 'kid in a corner doll' story*

And O-face, that's not one that springs to mind, but OMG, I know that one.  ugh.
(my child was grinding her teeth during bedtime story last night and OH that kills me.)

**O-Face**

GBCK, that sound drives me CRRRAAAZZZYYYY.  Just the thought...*ugly cry face*

I keep reading these as BFPs.  Now THAT is scary.

See, I didn't even mention heights and big spiders because those are COMPLETELY RATIONAL FEARS.</div>

Whenever I am home alone and take a shower, I KNOW somebody is going to come in the bathroom.

Also sinkholes.

DixieNormous330

Spiders, fires, clowns, Spiders, the sound/feel of finger nails on those little cracker jack-type hologram things (or anything like that), spiders.

Did I mention spiders?

hmonkey

getting a tapeworm
being caught in a prison riot
being caught in an actual riot

DixieNormous330

Getting a tape worm is my DREAM! Eat all I want and lose weight!

6fsn

Tapeworm yes.  Ringworm no.

VarunaTT

My arm being ripped off by the clothes washer.  I have to make sure it's completely stopped before i even open the lid...like it's going to jump out and catch my arm.

My hand being gnawed off by the food disposal.  If a spoon falls down there, I make DH get it.  I refuse to get it.

Corn worms.  So, so, so, so gross.  They don't drown either, I tried.  Now, DH has to strip the corn.

Hm, I know I have others, but those are the first few that come to mind.

It's a sad story but here goes... When I was a kid my mom, step-dad, brother and I were in the car about to get on the highway one day, all of a sudden my brother starts to scream "There is a girl on the train tracks". We turned and looked and sure enough, a little girl was laying across the tracks. We pulled over and ran to see what was going on.

Turns out there was a church nearby and she had wandered off and went onto the tracks. She was 3 years old. A train was coming and the wind blew her from one set of tracks to another (There were 4 or 5 sets of tracks). She was killed instantly. I can still remember seeing her in a little pink dress, face down on the tracks. That's why I don't like those Kid in a Corner dolls... They remind me of that little girl.

GBCK

tath's much less fun a story than what I was hoping for.

I was hoping for...oh, I don't know, I hve a thing about mannequins because my crazy grandmother used to dress hers up and take them on road trips with her so she wouldn't bemugged.
 (said crazy grandma also had a prothetic breast after cancer and kept her money in that so she wouldn't be mugged)
(^all true except I don't have a thing about mannequins)

that would have been kinda traumatic as a kid.

Going to prison(blame it on all of that ID watching.)
Living in an old folks home when I'm older and getting beat up.

PMeg819

This is irrational and also just stupid. Stairways that are just stair and no riser (like its just the portion you step on, and its open) freak me. I feel like some how I'm going to some how fall through that opening or something and die.

**O-Face**

NOLA, H works in a prison.  I'll tell him he's living your fear.

lyndsay782

-- 1.  My eyebrows being completely waxed off when i go get them done.  (when I'm stressing out, this is one of the things that I have nightmares about)

2. Spontaneous Human Combustion. 

3. This is the one I know is sort of wrong, and kind of terrible, but creepy drunk homeless men and Carnival workers.  I've had them chase me (I'm not joking) when I was in Santa Cruz one night back in college because I only gave them $1 and I guess that wasn't enough.  The alcohol tends to also lessen their understanding of personal space.  They get too close, and that makes me uber uncomfortable.  I guess it's that whole "don't talk to strangers" thing from when I was a kid... I never quite got over it when it comes to those poor unfortunate people.  

NOLABridesmaid

Yes, that's one job I couldn't handle.

KaySea6213

Ovens - I have this terrible fear that I'm going to fall in and get badly burned. I won't reach in a hot over, or even stand near an open one. I'm just too klutsy for that.

KaySea6213

Oh and escalators. Blame it on Kevin Smith and Mall Rats, but I'm terrified that I will get caught coming off or getting on an escalator. My children certainly will not play on an escalator.

thejucheidea

Cotton balls, ketchup, mayonnaise, and toilet tanks.

BostonGIrl4732

Styrofoam.  I'm weird I know.
