There are called phobias, but they are what scares the #$@% out of you. We all have them. In a 'true crime' TV show, a woman is giving an account of the crime, when her son-in-law finds a spider in the upstairs bathroom. He lets out this rather unmasculine scream. I have too many phobias to list here, the main ones are heights and snakes. What scares the ***** out of you?
 

I've always been afraid of snakes, but my first husband kept them in cages as pets. One night when the furnace wasn't working well l he was worried about his boa constrictor, so he tied the snake inside a pillow case and put him in bed between us to keep him warm. Sometime toward morning we woke up and the pillow case was empty.
 
A creature that I can't even stand to see (or type) the word, let alone the creature itself, so I'll leave that a mystery. I'm afraid of snakes but it doesn't bother me to look at them. I've even photographed a couple (that were in cases). I am not afraid of spiders at all and I do not kill them when they get into the house. I've learned that they find their way back out eventually. A couple of decades ago one of my step sons tried to scare me with a spider when we were standing in a parking lot. I just looked at it like "ho hum", no reaction until he started to kill it. I said NO! Don't kill it ! I think he was surprised. :ROFLMAO:

I never kill spiders. I consider them like praying mantises, good insects that eat all of the pesky insects.

You are braver than me. No way I would have a snake in my house let alone in bed. Where did you eventually find it?

The idiots who sit on Beachy Head cliffs. Five hundred killed since 1965. They give me the creeps.

Like the idiots who go over the railings and out on the edges at the Grand Canyon. I asked a Ranger what they did about those folks and he said, "Well, we hope they have identification in their pockets when we find their bodies at the bottom...."
