Phobias
Almost everyone has a few irrational fears. Spiders, clowns, and heights probably aren't as dangerous as many people think they are, but horror movies can still manage to make us jump by playing on those fears.
I freak out over roller coasters, though I realize that I do more dangerous things on a daily basis. I think that I'm mostly bothered by my lack of control over the vehicle I'm in: planes make me a little nervous too, unless I'm at the controls.
What are your phobias?

Re: Phobias
I'm afraid of clowns and those dolls with the glass or porcelain heads. I have no Idea what it is about the dolls that scares me.
Re: Phobias
I fear failure. That and disdain (directed at me, mind).
I wake up in cold sweats every night absolutely terrified of myself.

Re: Phobias
I fear aliens. Yeah, something that we're not sure if it even exists. I blame it on being traumatized when I was a child by watching 'Mars Attack', then in middle school by watching 'Signs'. *shudders*

Re: Phobias
In order of significance: sea amemones, weird (read: most) sea plants, ladders, and other unstable heights.
Re: Phobias
Agorophobia (Large groups of people) is the big one for me, but on the bright side Spiders are nothing to me now.
Oh, and a couple weird ones based around reccuring dreams that I couldn't adequately explain.

Re: Phobias
All insects of all sizes and shapes. Those are the worst.
To lesser extents aliens and sharks, but I am cool with them about 70-80% of the time.
Great now all of you know my weaknesses! *Runs and hides*

Re: Phobias
I hate spiders! I can't sleep in a room with spiders in it - it just makes me really nervous. I'm scared of other insects sometimes too, but spiders are the worst.

I'm not clinically terrified of anything, but I don't like being suffocated very much.

Re: Phobias
I have an irrational fear of eating ants that have gotten into my food. This most likely stems from the fact that our kitchen has an outside wall that ants can get through, and occasionally we wind up with ants scavenging for food on our kitchen counter(especially if we leave any food out overnight or forget to clean the cutting board).
Oddly enough, the idea of just eating an ant--if I ever got on a show where that was a requirement--makes me squirmy and queasy, but doesn't bother me as much as finding out there's an ant in my sandwich.

Re: Phobias
Public speaking. Oh yeah. Other than that, most insects. Flying ones don't really bother me. It's the creepy crawlers. Yuck.

Have you ever met anyone who don't mind being suffocated?

There is an interesting article over at Wikipedia that you should read.

And a CSI or NCIS or some other forensic crap show episode to watch. Plus I could probably name at least one person on PPT
