Hey RC, make sure they dont do a endoscopy with the same camera AFTER the colonoscopy, BIG FEAR that doctor says to the staff "watch this....." NASTY!!

 

[Dipstick]

Black Widows give me the Eebby-geebies
I kill everyone I see

Me too. If I even see evidence of them (webs, egg sacs) I wait 'til after dark and hunt 'em down.

They should have made red headed women as one of the items to instill great fear in most sane men.

 

[The Rebel]

Wasps, Hornets, Yellow Jackets. You get the idea.

 

[Cranky]

Oh man.....so much to digest lol. With my allergies, gots to be careful with wasps etc but snakes don't scare me. Heights....now that I'm 70, more so. Public speaking.....since I don't have a mastery of the 'Anglish' language, nope, not speaking in public. Rodents....had rats as pets when the kids were young but they don't live long enough plus they sleep all day and are awake all night. Prairie dogs....just the opposite. Had one that was just about to turn 13 when we put her down. Spiders....more skeert of the brown recluse than a black widow. Colon scope, the stuff you drink is much better than the stuff was many years ago. Clowns don't scare me and neither to midgets but mimes better stay the hell away from me! Ain't skeert of them but just don't like dem dang morons! Feral pigs, dog packs and bob cats....so long as I'm armed right, no problem and am usually armed well when I'm in their territory.

A few that @Kern Dog mentioned. Public speaking, yes scared me to death. I am now a director for a local government and have to speak in front of city council on a regular basis. I was scared of them but figured out they were no different than us.

Heights, yup sorry, not going up there at my age.

Confined spaces. Was a Sonar Tech in the Navy for 10 years. Had to repair the dome on a Frigate, to do this you entered a chamber and was pressure equalized then entered and did the work. Um never again.

Black Widows... When I living in San Diego I drug a 340 Demon out of the desert and put it in my garage. The thing was infested. I bet that garage is still infested. Never saw one till I drug that car home.

I dont like either one , left over from when I was a kid.

A buddy that I worked with had a phobia of midgets. He felt that they were little creatures of the devil.
My Brother in Law has a "clown" phobia. Because neither bother me, I crack up laughing at the thought of them being scary to anyone.

They should have made red headed women as one of the items to instill great fear in most sane men.

I never had a red headed woman, they never appealed to me. Might have been fun to have a fling or two just to have some interesting stories to spill about them....

Wasps, Hornets, Yellow Jackets. You get the idea.

Yep, I don't fear them, but I'm not a fan of them either.
I bought a '74 Duster with no keys. To open the trunk, I removed the back seat and took a long screwdriver....and while on my back, I slid rearward to reach the trunk latch from the inside. The car had been sitting for many years so I had to twist and shake the screwdriver to dislodge the latch. My shoulders were between the axle hump and spare tire well and my right arm outstretched.
I heard a buzz noise.....Then looked at where the radio speakers usually are in the rear deck. A fist sized nest of curious bees was inches from my face. I did not panic, but I did get the trunk open. Several bees flew away and out of the trunk as I pulled myself back to the inside of the car as quickly as I could without scaring them.

When the carpet matches the drapes, an hour between the sheets is like a ride on a jet fighter. A MAZE ING!!!

We actually do have primal fears.

1st. Eaten. This is our greatest fear. And most ancient. I'm guessing it's why so many are fearful of spiders, bats and snakes? To be bitten.

2nd. Fire. This would include any reaction that is releasing energy that can cause pain and/or injury.

3rd. Falling. This is the instinctive fear of heights. For obvious reasons.

4th. Drowning. Or any situation of oxygen deprivation.

5th. Socal unacceptance. To be kicked out of the pack. Why public speaking and being "dumped" weighs on everyone's minds. Whether you agree or not.

I think most all fears fit somewhere in these 5 categories. And the order (I believe) is constant. If a charging bear is "Bearing down on you." And your mind has determined you are going to be lunch? You will run into a burning building. Your feet would give you no choice. If you are in a burning building? You will jump to your death. Fire is higher fear than falling.

This is just my opinion. (And I understand that the situations described are fleeing the existing danger.) But if true choice is an option? Then I believe order is true.

This opinion is not based on any psychological studies or training. But just root truth. At least of myself.
