My phobias are as follows; in no particular order...
1.) Heights
2.) Needles
3.) Sarah Palin; not the Tina Fey version of her.
4.) Dumb people; that automatically excludes BB-owners.
5.) People who purposely wear mix-matched Crocs.
Spiders
Flying/hights
Spiders
IRS
Spiders
Underground, confined spaces and the Spiders found in them
Did I remember to mention spiders? I live in fear of those times my wife will call me to come and remove a spider. So I have to act brave and do it, but I'm crying like a schoolgirl on the inside!

I can't think of any phobias. I don't like spiders, they're sort of disgusting with all that silk in their backside and everything, but I don't think that's an irrational fear, just a dislike.
That having been said clowns are pretty creepy but they're not quite creepy enough to be a phobia either.
Sandman! You left out that creepy hair they grow, the multiple eyes and fangs -- not to mention neurotoxic poison. You're right, though, it's not a phobia. I just don't like the creepy little bast*rds. We have black widows all over the place at work, some days I can't even go into our tunnels.

Heights, especially when whatever I'm standing or sitting on is shaky. Two years ago, my husband and I took the kids to the county fair, and I was elected to ride the Ferris Wheel with them. NEVER again will I do that, it scared the crap out of me!!
Spiders. Ew!
And I have an irrational fear of drowning, choking to death or suffocating. At the age of 30-something, I almost can't swallow pills. I can't go underwater without holding my nose. I won't even let the shower spray hit my face unless I'm blowing out at the same time. And I can't stand for anybody to be right in my face, not even my kids. If somebody is too close, I feel like they're taking all of my air.
The fear of heights seems to be a pretty widespread one.
exelant; not only do you have JUST spiders crawling around work...but they're black widows?! Dang. I may not have a fear of spiders; but if I worked with critters like that right by my side...I'd probably develop full-fledged arachnophobia.
I have a pretty bad fear of spiders. I wouldn't say its a phobia but when I see them, I literally go into survival mode. Its either me, or the spider! Lol
Snakes
Public Humiliation
Clowns, (they bloody frightening to me! I don't go to McDonald's because of Ronald).
Public Humiliation! that's a good one. Remember speach class -- or having to get up in public to give a speach? That is a phobia most of us have but don't want to even mention because we get cold sweats thinking about it. This alone justifys an attorney's billable hours .

I remember speech class; not speach. :-P.
I'm not on the billable hour system yet; just salaried as a first-year runt. But I guess that justifies how my boss pushes a Maserati..those billable hours rack up when you've been in the business of sue'ing for 33 years!
