It seems everyone is afraid of something. What's your phobia?

Mine is heights (Acrophobia). Not a "step ladder" kinda thing but more than 20 feet up or so things start getting weird.

I am terrified that my computer will become so corrupt that I will have to reformat the hard drive. I would rather have root canal than reformat a hard drive!

Laughing

Reformatting a hard drive is no joke though Crying or Very sad, it's a neuroses-giving annoyance even for all...

Hmm... I don't fear much. I fear death and loneliness.

By the way, what's the weirdest phobia of which you have heard? I know people (acquaintances) who are afraid of having their knees touched, and there was someone who feared ketchup with a fervour.

Well, I don't think, I fear anything so much to call it phobia.

However, as a child, I had quite a few: doing homework, going to school, doing the washing up and ... the worst: getting coal (for the central heating/ovens) from the outsite coal hovel in the dark.

Fear of hair = "Chaetophobia"

Yeah, all you have to do really is think of the Greek version of the English word, and stick on phobia.

And no, why would I be following you? Why, why?

(Runs away from bushes around Kerver's house, paranoid) Ah, she realised! Kerver's finally onto my trail and I... damn.

I've been quiet up until recently, which is why you haven't seen me.

It's a pleasure to meet you too. Very Happy

Heights, definitely. Planes don't bother me, but anything open... About had a heart attack visiting the Grand Canyon when I was only 22.

I am deathly afraid of bad jokes. I have had this very crippling phobia for as long as I recall. I caused a great deal of dissension in my family by avoiding one particular uncle of mine for this reason.

Two blondes are walking in the woods when they come upon a set of tracks. "Look, deer tracks" says one. "No, those are moose tracks!", says the other. Anyway, they were still standing there arguing when the train hit them.

Ba-da-bing.
