Yeah,forgot about that one.What do you reckon to those ubiquitous scenes in Action Movies where the hero and his fellow escapees have to swim along an underwater tunnel eventually to pop out in a pool somewhere inside a mountain? I am a great swimmer and can swim a length underwater,but always get a bit soft just swimming under the lane dividers,into the next swimming lane!

reminding me of slugs.. I've played metal slug yesterday! 
uuhm.. I really have an radio phobia, along with that sports on TV. Why? the sound really makes me freak out. With the tour de france for example, there's always an constant little beep along with the comments, or you hear just an bit if hellicopter.. ARGH!!! Radio really kills me with the frequences, a little bit wrong and your sound is f**ked (when it wasn't f**ked in the first place).. you can't hear what you want to!!
I really have an modern art phobia, well I should say CONCEPTUAL art. I just lndaksfnnghlainfgiuanp;uhnbakf;gbj when they're talking bullcrap to make something ugly worth something. I always wanted to paint something (it's comming soon!!) with a woman on it reading a book. I'll let her read a book for you! Because art isn't about talking, it's feeling it's speaking for itself!
I'm really afraid for gothics! not the I'm a fairytale gothic.. BUT THE TRUE 80ies gothics!!! aaaaah!!!
Oh and I have a mozzerela phobia!

The dark, heights, large groupings of insects, dogs in the past (I don't mean I have a fear of dogs that used to exist, I mean I used to have a fear of dogs  ), noise, microwaves (not microwave ovens, I mean the actual waves).

I have a fear of waking up in a laboratory somewhere, opening my eyes and seeing a scientists doing something with a sheep's brain and when I open my mouth to say something starting to bleat...
I can't decide whether this is a rational fear (it's a pretty unpleasant scenario) or an irrational fear (it's not very likely; in fact it's only happened to me a couple of times in my life).

Airplanes, worms, and electrocution have been phobias of mine forever but one I just recently became afraid of due to my fall down a hill which resulted in a broken nose and a concussion is steep hills that end in a creek full of large rocks. hows that for specific?

I can completely understand that phenomenon! I had a slip & fall accident on black ice about 10 years ago that required surgery and about 6 months of rehab on my ankle. I have had a deathly fear of icy roads & sidewalks ever since.

I am also slightly claustrophobic.. however its tunnels I don't like. I can't be in a tunnel where you have to crawl only one direction and can't turn around... Elevators don't bother me, unless of course I'm on one thats going to the 107 floor and filled with Japanese tourists.
I also do not like snakes. Don't mind bugs... but really hate snakes...

Planes, the more I travel, the greater my panic is.
Due to my job I had to fly almost 50 times a year from 1997 to 2003, almost all the staff of the local airlines (First two and then only one survived) knew me, and when I entered to the plane, my double scotch was always ready.
I never shouted or bothered anybody, I just stay still and press imaginary brakes when there's turbulence.
Once we had an emergency landing, after loosing the pressure (The oxygene masks didn't worked well as in any normal Peruvian airline), throwing the gasoline to the ocean, surrounded the city 10 times, I was almost with 160 heart beats per minute, and to make it worst, the tire exploded when landing.
Now I rather drive ten hours than taking a plane except when urgent or long trips.

Yep -- me too. Take-off & landing freaks me out.

A walk into my kitchen to get a glass of water has just reminded me of my only phobia/irrational fear.
I am appalled to admit that I am totally afraid of slugs!
But why?It is not like they can chase you or bite you,yet they make my skin crawl. Ugggh!!!
Anyone else like to share their phobias?

Taking off I don't mind, but I've seen far too many 1970's 'Airport' movies to ever enjoy landing - especially if sitting over the wing when all those flaps start moving up, sliding back, falling off, catching fire, being torn off by goblins....

I hear you.
My worst fear is that something really bad might happen to my parents or one of my good friends, the people who have always been very kind to me and whom I see smiling, joyful and sporting this childlike, carefree attitude almost every day. I really hope nothing ever gets them so bad that they lose it, but life isn't getting any easier or safer.
