Super User Redlinerobert Posted December 13, 2007 Super User Posted December 13, 2007 Watching this show on the tallest building gives me the same feeling I get when I'm in a REALLY tall building. For me its: Fear of heights Fear of driving on bridges (related to heights I guess) What about you guys? Quote
Jake P Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Im the same way man, whenever i see people on really tall buildings or sky diving or things like that my feet and hands get sweaty. when i drive over the bridge to the lake i fish at i always think hmm, that would suck if this thing collapsed then my feet and hands get sweaty lol. Oh and spiders, i hate them just as much. So yea heights and spiders. Quote

Murray Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 uncontrolled heights (i.e. cliffs) snakes but most of all...the dark i am terrified of the dark, always have been. Quote

Gidget Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 My fear is not making a difference in someones life. My phobias are bridges but most of all Crickets. Quote
rfrazier Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 rattlesnakes swimming in the ocean where I cannot see the bottom or touch bottom if it is murky confined spaces dumping big fish ;D Same! Would you rather be in a confined space with a rattlesnake, or swim laps around the Farallons? Quote
Super User fourbizz Posted December 13, 2007 Super User Posted December 13, 2007 rattlesnakes swimming in the ocean where I cannot see the bottom or touch bottom if it is murky confined spaces dumping big fish ;D Same! Would you rather be in a confined space with a rattlesnake, or swim laps around the Farallons? UCK! What a horrible set of options! Swimming laps I guess. At least those 20ft killing machines would finish me quick and I probably wouldn't see it coming. Everytime I see Great Whites hitting those decoys on the Discovery Channel, I am torn between how awesome and gnarly it is, and sheer terror. Quote
Super User Sam Posted December 13, 2007 Super User Posted December 13, 2007 Redline, I have no real fears but my maternal grandmother was a Cajun so I learned a lot from her about Cajun superstitions. However, when I am watching an LSU football game or other sports contests on TV and my team is winning, I will not move anything nor change positions in the chair or couch. There is a psychiatric term for this behavior but I don't know it. As soon as the team screws up, I will then move things or reposition myself. Hey, it worked for most of the football season this year, other than for the Saints. I also wear my religious medal that got me through Viet Nam with no injuries, although I did have a few close calls in **** Country. Quote
Super User Sam Posted December 13, 2007 Super User Posted December 13, 2007 Fourbizzel, I learned a long time ago that you don't swim in waters where you can't see what is seeing you. Just a word to the wise...... Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 I actually like heights. Launching off cliffs was my very favorite thing to do (Skiing-a "calculated" risk) but heights in a car (big bridges,etc) ,..I don't like. Add a heavy wind and an empty UPS truck and it's a white knuckle ride home from Newport or Jamestown (2 big islands here) Losing engine power offshore makes me nervous also. Quote
slomoe Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Heights, big bugs, public speaking, and failure. The fear of failure has kept me from doing alot of things that I might have otherwise really enjoyed. Quote

Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted December 13, 2007 Super User Posted December 13, 2007 As stated in an earlier thread......snakes and scorpions. Falcon Quote
Big T Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Heights Snakes,Snakes and more snakes. Big T Quote
Tokyo Tony Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 My biggest fear is death, or the death of a loved one. I think about that all the time and how there are so many f'd up things that happen in the world to normal people (read the news, ever). Any of our lives can be forever changed for the worse in the blink of an eye, and that scares the ***** out of me. Phobias: spiders, centipedes Quote
llPa1nll Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Violence Poverty Drugs Heights TROLLING MOTORS LMAO extremely confined spaces, as where I can barely move my arms. That and hitting a rock with my boat. Quote
Super User Tin Posted December 13, 2007 Super User Posted December 13, 2007 Snakes and ketchup. Quote
Zel Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Heights (where there is a possibility of falling off). Running into my wife in a bad mood, before I can get the bags into the garage, upon returning home from one of Cabela's super secret sales. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 LOL, I answered this question last night Needles Quote

Running into my wife in a bad mood, before I can get the bags into the garage, upon returning home from one of Cabela's super secret sales. ACTUALLY I FEAR ZEL'S GARAGE. YOU NEED A GUIDE TO GET OUT OF IT Quote
Zel Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 ACTUALLY I FEAR ZEL'S GARAGE. YOU NEED A GUIDE TO GET OUT OF IT Muddy, you can easily figure it out. I arranged access in the garage around the theory of the Texas Two Step. Follow these instructions and you'll never get lost in there again First, step forward quickly with your left foot. Then step forward quickly with your right foot. Then step forward again with your left foot, but slowly. Then a short Pause. Then step forward slowly with your right foot. Pause again and then pull your left foot even with your right. Repeat until out the door. See, simple! Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted December 13, 2007 Author Super User Posted December 13, 2007 Along the heights issue, I was fishing this lake in Northern CA that's crystal clear. I could see the bottom below me, about 75 feet down. It kind of freaked me out! I had to move the boat to shallower water. ;D Quote
