Following my story of woe about the dentists, what scares you?

Ssssnakes, including earth worms. When number two son was four years old he baited my hook with live earthworms, when we went fishing in Lake Ontario. Lindy:-))

aaaahhhhhhhhgggggghhhhhhhh SPIDERS- i hate them!!! and i dont just mean, girly hate, i really really do hate them...my fellas dad always throws them at me and i scream the house down- im terrified of them!! i got bitten by one when i was younger!!!

hi hayley spiders for me too, i don't mind daddy longlegs and little ones its the great big hairy ones, and i've had 2 in the last fortnight, [i need a man that can] lol sandra [dyson at the ready]

i definately agree with snakes, im terrified of those too, also quite scared of crabs, think it came from being a youngster on the beach and having them thrown at me by my dad and brother

Yes dentists that's true - but my thing really is WASPS i really hate them - if I know one is in the room I can't settle in it and I feel like if I go to hit it - it will sting me. I know they say they won't bother you if you don't bother them but I just don't believe it. I was on some tablets once and wasps just used to settle on me and sting me for nothing - couldn' go out doors for a month, I just used to run for the car, the door, the shops Yuk!!! G

we used to live at my nans house..and shes terrified of snakes- me and my older bro used to play tricks on everyone...so one night we put his toy snake in her bed...never seen her move so fast or scream so loud lol lol...im giggling now just thinking of it!!x

SPIDERS!!!, heights, bridges, moths (but butterflies ok), dentists and ............Mole Grips !!! - no idea why - an inanimate object can't 'get you' so totally irrational lol Magsx

Doctors, hospitals and operations! Absolutely dreading going in to hospital again next month for mys econd lot of major surgery in 2 years. How people cope so well I do not know. I am already swaeting and feeling sick with worry. Any ideas how I can best deal with it all? Jane

im not sure what im scared of but my eldest son david is scared of the dark my middle son phillip is scared of anyhting that fly's my little son ryan is scared of people he doesnt know

i used to be terrified of dying but as you get older you accept that the time will come when you will be entering the pearly gates.i am terrified of heights and confined spaces .something happened to me in childhood to have these phobias.they say that your fear of whatever comes from your childhood.something that happenedxxxx(:

Mother in Law Screeeeeeeeeam! Lin

also scared of wasops the fear of getting stung terrifies mexxxx(:

Johnny spinners, i hate the things. I think its the horrible dangly long legs and the fact that they always seem to dive bomb your head. I also hate those moths with the fat hairy bodies, theyre like mice with wings yuck! I nearly forgot to mention frogs - bad experiences with them.

I hate wasps. They seem to sting me for no reason. I also hate earwigs and beetles. I once found an earwig crawling in my hair when I was camping and loads of beetles in my bed.

Spiders i think Acracnaphobia is the best horror film going Bev

I used to be v v scared of thunderstorms but not so bad these days, dentists are way up there on my list and flying - my other half says it's a fear of crashing but actually I think it's the fear of turbulance. Not keen on getting in lifts with strangers either. I think I need a lie down - I'm a bag of nerves now!!! Sarah NB - why do "friends" always tell you their really really bad stories about dentists, hospitals, flying just before you're about to leave to do the scary thing. Do they think it will make you feel better! Not!

Heights, 6 inches off of the ground and I quiver like jelly. Christine

Oh yes I forgot about heights - I never knew I had vertigo until a school trip to St Paul's in London and we went on the whispering balcony thing that goes right round inside - the poor teacher had to give me smelling salts. I don't mind tops of hills and stuff like that but it's glass buildings or those awful glass lifts - argh!!!

Snakes, bats, clowns and doctors. I'd rather spend a day in the dentists chair than five minutes with a doctor. Oh and heights and enclosed spaces. Christine
