So, what frightens *you*?
Other than sharks, which are easily the scariest animal, I have this irrational fear of eye damage.

When I worked at a bank, I had to wear a tie and we had to run all the checks & work through a microfilm machine at the end of the day. I always had a fear that my tie would get pulled into the feeder and choke me to death.

I have an irrational fear of Sharks too Eryk! And I mean highly irrational, where I'm convinced I'll one day be face to face with a giant Great White...
Other than that, the only one I can think of is a minor fear of bees--as in get them the LIVING HELL AWAY FROM ME.

If I lay on my stomach on the bed, my legs can't hang over the edge any further than my shins. I can be completely alone, yet still fear that someone or something is going to fall on my legs and break my knees...
Also, every morning before leaving for work, I have to make sure that no water is running (sinks, shower and toilet) and that every fan in the house has been shut off and unplugged. I've been known to go home at lunchtime because I can't remember checking those things...

I get a little freaked out standing next to big things that look like they could fall on me - like big boats. Is that weird? Oh and moldy/expired foods. I had a bad experience once when I stared to eat a blueberry muffin only to realize there weren't any blueberries in it.

Yeah, I'm scared of breast cancer too. My mummy had it.
I've also been known to spazz out when walking alone (especially at night) and talk to myself. It's better now that I have an iPod -- I just need noise of SOME kind. Maybe it's part of a bigger fear of being alone or something...
Oh and I'm afraid of things falling on my head. I've been known to flinch at large (and small) shadows when walking. I think it's because I've been hit in the head with a volleyball more than once...

Seriously, not a 4th of July passes that we don't have one-- usually more-- kids in who end up losing an eye to bottle rockets. So I mentally multiply this times the number of big eye clinics in the nation and... yeah, outlaw 'em.

Nah, kids gotta learn. Its a fact of life, you don't get outta it without some scars.
My cousin wanted to hire someone to baby proof her house after my lil cousin was born. Her hubby said "no". the kid had to learn, and common sense was part of it. Kids learn more from mistakes with consequences than they ever do the other way.
I'm not saying that i want kids to loose eyes, but dang, you can't sanatize the entire world. If so, there wouldn't be pencils, paper clips, staples, toenail clippers...
Not trying to be a smartass with ya, Lashie, ya know i love ya, but the general fear that has been distilled to every single person in america is just...disturbing.
