[Trudes]

I'm claustrophobic and I have a fear of mice and rats. My greatest fear is being stuck in a box that is slowly filling up with water and filled with rats *shivers are running up and down my spine as I type that* Fuck I hate rats!!!:pinch:

[slofox]

Height phobic here....tend to freeze up. Would never make a steeplejack...nor a mountaineer.

[Wingnut]

"Squeel like a pig boy" - any situation that involves that sentence cant be good! That scares me........

Heights for me - like anything over 5ft

+1 for the claustrophobia.
I don't mind confined spaces as such, as long as I know I can get out when I want

[portokiwi]

JAWS....:eek5: Sorry it still puts me off swimming to far in the sea.

That and Women with very hairy legs and arm pits..... I had a teacher in my last year at school she use to sit on the tabe in front of us in a skirt with the hairrest legs I had ever seen.

[MsKABC]

I lived in Australia for a wee while, and we found a f'n great big huntsman on the wall in the spare room one day. My partner at the time decides to try to move it along with a broom handle. Well bugger me if the thing didn't move about half a metre at the speed of light, and my brave partner ran right over the top of me in his rush to get out the door, squealing like 10 frightened schoolgirls as he went!

I'm not a fan of spiders or snakes, but my biggest fear these days is that something will happen to my son.

[martybabe]

I don't mind heights so much, spent a lot of time working a long way up but dropping objects from heights terrifies me, it's so out of my control watching a hammer or a brick or summat fall at 32 ft per second per second towards the pavement 20 stories below fair puts the shits up me.

The only other thing would be rats, little stinky toothy gnawy bastards make my skin crawl.:girlfight:

[portokiwi]

Look at the bright side MsKABC... the only snakes here you have to worry about is trouser snakes:lol:

[nighthawk]

getting old........... that concerns me but at 52 I've got a long way to go.....:eek5:

[Mikkel]

Heights for me too... in a bit of a round about way.

Let's say I am out tramping and I can see that the track is going to run across a cliff face, some bluffs or something like it. I start getting anxious before I am even getting close to the "dangerous" part - it's mostly anticipation...

And then there's the situation where you're standing looking out over some vertical drop. I know I am safe and sound where I am at - still the void is pulling on my soul so that I fear I might jump if I loose control. :crazy:

[James Deuce]

getting old........... that concerns me but at 52 I've got a long way to go.....:eek5:
Ahhh, so you're the bloke with the Zimmer Frame strapped to the back of that naked behemoth up this way?

[Dargor]

That ill get stuck in this thread for the rest of my life.

[Nagash]

Phobia of horses.. reasons for that.

Always a phobia to ladders, they just freak me out. Not bothered about heights but I won't climb a ladder.

Oh, and rings oddly enough. Will never, ever wear a ring in fear that they'll get stuck and never come off again.Some bride's gonna be lucky to find me..

[Al]

When we lived in Auckland it was the weta!
Frigging thing got onto my arm and when I tried to brush it off it dug in!

Living in the Northern Territory on a 40 acre block, lot of spiders and snakes, regularly find all types of pythons, but shit scared of the "browns" (king and whip snake).
We have 2 resident frillnecks on the property too, crocs on the next block in their billabong!

Living here, the biggest fear is CYCLONES.... Being the captain of the fire and emergency response group we shit ourselves when the warnings come out!
Expecting a big one this time apparently!

[MyGSXF]

My fear is someone breaking into our house at night & hurting my babies & me :no:

[ManDownUnder]

BIG ARSE HUNTSMAN RUNS ACROSS BENCH SCARES LIVING SHIT OUTTA ME.


Whats your fear?

I got a mate and he's got a thing about Huntsman spiders too. His missus was drivin him up Queensland way somewhere and one ran out from under the seat. She reckoned he climbed out the window before she even stopped. He wouldn't get back in until she had removed everything from the passenger cab of the vehicle, including the seats. Lucky it was a ute. They live in NZ now.

I had a thing about Wetas when I was a kid, but I got over it. I still remember the feeling though. When everything inside you starts to constrict...

My biggest fear these days is losing my job or not being able to earn a living. Other than that I think its all pretty good

[samgab]

There's only 1 thing I'm afraid of, dead or alive, in this world or any other.
Pain.
I fear pain and anything that has potential to cause me pain.
Not scared of anything else whatsoever.
I'm not scared of dying, so long as it's painless.
I'm not afraid of bugs, unless they can sting or bite, causing pain.
I couldn't care less about heights, unless I could fall and hurt myself.
You get the idea.

[James Deuce]

Life is pain!

Whats your fear?

Many many years ago when Adam was in nappies and my children were about the same age, I lived in Brisbane for a couple of years. We moved from Coorparoo to Camp Hill and I was relieved to move away from all the spiders, cockroaches, blue tongue lizards and bull ants, to a house kitted with full screens.

My relief was short lived. A very large blue tongue was bailed up by my full sized collie dog, and in retailiation bit the end of the dogs nose and wouldn't let go. It was in the bushes by the back door and after bashing it on the head several times, it then escaped to the garage under the house - I was very nervous about letting the children outside after that (and the car stayed outside for a while!!).

Sitting in the lounge one day at night on my own (the childrens father worked night sift), I espied a mouse in the kitchen and I was intrigued by the fact that although it just seemed to 'appear' it didn't move much, so I went to investigate... it wasn't a mouse but a rather large spider that upon sensing my proximity took off at lightening speed to ... the linen cupboard!!!:crazy:

The insect life is really interesting - even with screens they make their way into the house. Ants; cockroaches; little lizards; hornets and spiders of every variety, and none of them really bothered me too much until..

One night I went to bed really late, I had been studying into the wee small hours and my youngest had had an interrupted nights sleep with an upset tummy, so by the time my head hit the pillow I was exhausted.

Unable to sleep and pondering on the meaning of life I realised that I was registering a vibration on my eardrum. It was a weird sensation - no noise, just a vibration - that got stronger and stronger. Unable to work it out, and REALLY pissed off by now - I leapt out of bed and flicked on the light at the same time as I turned to look at the bed.... and SCREAMED (and I assure, that even though I was young and naive - I was NOT a girly girl).

Right in the indent of the pillow where I had recently lain my head was the biggest and ugliest spider I had ever seen. Alive, it was bigger than my hand, covered with 3/4 fly spray it was bigger... In my overreaction, it took the entire can of flyspray, two hours of continually hunting it down (even loaded it was fast!!), more spray until it slowed down enough for me to trap in a preserving jar and even then it took a couple of days to die.

Man oh man it was pretty pissed though - the fangs were out, front legs up and looked incredibly ferocious. Once it died however, I kinda looked at it and wondered what all the fuss was about. I do kinda look at spiders sideways now I must admit - the memories of that night remain strong.

About 6 months later, I went into the laundry to do some washing (funnily enough!) and I reached into the cabinet / cupboard and as my hand went in - and I froze. In front of me curled up looking at me with an interested expression (I swear he had his head on one side) was a HUGE snake. I found out later that it was a carpet snake and harmless - but I am REALLY glad we don't have them roaming around our houses here!

[firefighter]

Discovering a hanging body - blood/guts/screaming does'nt really effect me, but finding a body hanging would definately do bad things to my soul.......

Also turning up to a crash with family invovled....

That's what scares me the most.

Anything threatening the health of my kids.

Yup that's at the top of my list too...spiders, snakes and heights I have all been desensitized too. But I doubt there is anything that can make you fearless of that one...well expect for being a sad, fucked up and cold person of course.


clowns........

They just ain't right! Along the same line - those creepy kids dolls with the googly eyes that roll around in their sockets...they give me the shits. I was given one as a child that was (at the time) taller than I...I couldn't sleep with it in my room - it had to be locked in the laundry cupboard in the kitchen! :lol: :rolleyes: I am much braver now :sweatdrop

[FROSTY]

Not much scares me for me um if that makes sense. But I get scared for other people. People out of their depth in a situation or where saftety on a track isn't up to scratch. then I get scared

[EatOrBeEaten]

Don't really have any any more. I used to be terrified of spiders and big dogs (got attacked by one as a kid- that'll put a person off!) but now? De nada.

I always taught not to have a fear of anything that couldn't directly kill you, and if it could you should respect it rather than fear it. which explains the bikes, the climbing and all the other shit I do for fun :D

[MIXONE]

The fear of being recognised by other kbers.

What's with the fear of heights? Height is a "good thing"!
Widths... on the other hand.

Oh a fellow climber!
Yeah Im much the same... don't have any phobias, plenty of things scare me a little but thats generally why I like them
I am scared of death in the sense I cant imagine not being, and I don't want to die any time soon because I have waaaay too many things to do!

[MsKABC]

A very large blue tongue was bailed up by my full sized collie dog, and in retailiation bit the end of the dogs nose and wouldn't let go.


When I lived in Sydney we discovered a blue tongue under the house because the dog (a Boxer) had it bailed up. We could only see its head, so initially we though it was a snake. Eventually it retreated back into the house and we successfully co-habitated for a little while....until I came home one day to find pieces of lizard in my dog's kennel/run. I felt really sorry for it :(

[martybabe]

I didn't think this thread was for me, I fear next to nothing me.

Or so I thought......but as I'm reading through this I'm going, yea got that and that and ooh I'd forgotten that and bugger me I hate them things!

So it would appear, on reflection, I am actually scared of everything, including my own shadow. As a consequence of reading this enlightening thread, I shall sit on the sofa with the dog, petrified of anything and everything and never move again. Oh wait I'm scared of Dogs and sofas :shit:

I want my mom! :laugh:

[gatch]

fear of heights is so common, can anyone tell me why ?

this is not a piss take and im not looking to embarass anyone, its just that everynow and then for work ill be on/under cranes or hanging from building structures etc and its no thing at all..

on a side note we have a service engineer at work who is terrified of heights, you would think a company that predominantly builds/services cranes would not be his first choice..

I can't tell you why, but I can tell you that when I was younger, heights didn't bother me at all, but now that I'm in my prime I get a bit freaked out. :crazy:

[MsKABC]

As a consequence of reading this enlightening thread, I shall sit on the sofa with the dog, petrified of anything and everything and never move again.

Until I had children, probably my biggest fear was of being assaulted or attacked in some way.

This reminds me of a few years back (before I met my husband) when I was feeling a little uncomfortable about the attention I was getting from a superior at work, and it all came to a head (well, it seemed as if he used it as an opportunity) when my beloved Boxer dog died, and this guy was texting, ringing, sending gifts and then he turned up at my house. I remember feeling quite desperate and alone because up until that point, I had never feared for my safety when my beautiful boy was with me.

I now have 3 fuck-off dogs and of course it goes without saying - a mild-mannered husband who would transform into bad-ass mofo if anyone tried to mess with me :ar15:

[lb99]

Discovering a hanging body -

is fookin scarey, trust me, although strangely peaceful too, ('cept for the flies)

mine is probably loosing my grip on reality, its a slippery fucker to hang on to most days, that or the IRD :2guns:

It's interesting, I think how controllable you percieve potentially hazardous situations decides wether you become fearfull or not.

I'm shit scared of heights and my last job was in HVAC, we spent a lot of time on the top of buildings on outside of plantrooms, on construction sites etc. Most of the time I had no problems but every now and again I had that freeze moment the earlier posters mentioned.
On every one of those moments there was an uncontrolled element that I hadn't quite factored into the ascent/descent equation. Usually a loose ladder* rung, or one not tied off, loose scaffold etc.

I'm sure there's more than a few here that are quite comfortable riding a motorcycle at over 200km/h but take the bars out of your hands at that speed and you'll be calling for mum, like Martybabe:dodge:

My greatest fear is that I will develop an uncontrollable urge to start collecting Crocs.:eek5:


* Studies have shown that height on Ladders exponentially increases the damage done from the falling height and a consequence increases the fear factor proportionally

[gatch]

have you ever seen a scaffolder do their thing ?

i think heights are scared of them..
