- I'm terrified of straight-edge razors, but that goes hand-in-hand with the fact that my biggest fear in life is having my throat cut. If I'm watching a movie and the guy is in the barber's chair getting a shave, I feel like I'm going to pass out. I think this stems from when I saw Mississippi Burning as a child.
- My other big one is being stuck in an elevator that's stalled out between floors, and that I'd have to crawl out. The fear part of that is that it would start moving again before I was out of it, and I'd be cut in half. It's called mechanical asphyxiation and it scares the living daylight out of me.
Re: Here are mine
- Butcher blocks for knives: It's a buffet of weapons for any B&E specialist in your area. No way.
- I would never, ever leave a hammer out, unless I am currently using it (for the aforementioned reason).
- spiders: 'nuff said.
- Anything to do with the eye: It being poked out, removed Kill Bill style, whatever. Along these lines, there is NO WAY I could have laser surgery. There ain't enough valium in the world, baby.
- Claustrophobic: This is why the MRI scares me, as do elevators (after while, I'm cool with a few floors), and small, dark places.
I could go on and on.
