Phobias

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

So do any of you boys and girls suffer from any kind of phobia

Spiders and snakes give you the shakes, height's and depths make your knees give out

For my part I don't have any phobia's, I hate needles and have very great respect for heights , but a crippling fear off things no.

What about you guys , be honest

My only real phobia is of deep water.  I am not exactly the strongest swimmer which doesn't help and I have had many a bad dream of me in deep water.

Your married, so your always in deep water

I'm not a big fan of deep water either, all those people who say drowning is peaceful must be talking utter crap

[Benner]

Ain't that the truth!

I used to be really afraid of wasps as well, but I have got over that as I started to kill them.    Made me feel a lot better.

The ocean scares the living bejeezus out of me, so I want to buy a sailboat and go see Esteban in Buenos Aires.

I hate being scared of anything!

Yep, it's best to face your fears and boot it in the face

[Roadie]

Can't say i have any real phobias although i'm not the greatest fan of spiders, but i can deal with them if i have to.

One of my best friends is terrified by them, she just completely shuts down in terror!

Same as my mum. That's why I bought my Tarantula after I had moved out.

If I remember rightly you can eat taratulas

[Benner]

If I remember rightly you can eat taratulas

Some cultures do.  Can't say i'd fancy it though.

I'd have to be pretty peckish to say the least

             I'd turn vegetarian first.

When you think about it, there pretty bloody hairy, plus having 8 eyes to chew thorough would be pretty bad

My phobia is very simple Heights. I hate the high stuff. I actually screamed like a little girl in jump school.

That must have been tough to live down

[hawkchucker]

Ohhh Yaaa. But I was not as bad as a soldier was. he peed his pants.

[Grant Lamontagne]

Don't they have a special division with fancy BDU's with long sleeves that buckle in the back for guys that aren't scared stiff in jump school?

Crap you'd never live that down

[Biru]

I don't mind heights if I can't see the ground. I HATE those ventilated floor grates installed on many smokestacks and towers. I used to work in a chemical plant and had to check an emissions unit at the top of a huge stack. I actually liked climbing the ladder better than standing on that small grate (attached to BRICK with about 6 or 8 bolts)  at the top of the stack. You never saw someone hug bricks so much in your life!

[hawkchucker]

Yah well it is also kinda bad being a Marine in a Army class anyway.

[edap617]

I have cockroach phobia.

[Benner]

I have cockroach phobia.

Are they common in your part of the world Eddie?

[edap617]

Yup, cockroches are very common here, Ben. They seem to be everywhere.

You wouldn't enjoy living here.  I have brown recluses living the good life in my garage.  I see them in the house at times too.

I don't have any real phobias I guess.  Heights bother me, but I can usually get a handle on the situation.

I HATE speaking to audiences.

[Biru]

I agree on the cockroaches. They aren't rampant around here, but I hate to be ANYWHERE they've been (from what I understand about cockroaches, they don't like me either).

[jzmtl]

From the other thread in leatherman forum, I'd say a lot of you have china-phobia. 

I don't really have any phobia. At least I don't know any, maybe there are some hidden deep in my mind. 

[cryptrick]

I have one of the most common phobias... spiders. They do scare the living s**t out of me, especially when they are in my bedroom. I actually have a book and tissues that are placed together in my room ready for when I see one    If they are in a place where I might struggle to get it, I'll often start to sweat and shiver before getting it. Afterwards I'll usually keep the light on for a bit until I get tired enough to switch it off and go straight to sleep.
