For me it´s the dentist. I´d rather be hit repeatedly in the face than go to the dentist. I went to the dentist today, the first time in 5 years

From the list, it has to be the dentist - the only profession you pay a huge sum of money to in the sure & certain knowledge they're going to cause you pain... and enjoy doing so!
Well, there is one other profession, but not on this forum 
Other than that, and I can't believe this is not on the list, great big f+++ off hairy spiders; there was one in my bath this morning which was at least 15 foot across! Oh yes, and maggots  -------------

Dentists! My wife made me go before we got married, it had been almost 15 years for me. Good news was that I only needed a couple of cavities filled and a good cleaning.
For my wife - spiders, spiders, spiders.
Oh, and global warming is a myth perpetrated by politicians and special interest groups. Google 'friends of science' for a more informed stance on this phenomenon.
(I was around in the '70's when everyone was predicting a new ice age)
Nuclear holocaust - man, the weekend is coming - I don't even want to consider that.

Sleeper you are wrong. Don't be fooled by the media hype.
Accurate satellite, balloon and mountain top observations made over the last three decades have not shown any significant change in the long term rate of increase in global temperatures. Average ground station readings do show a mild warming of 0.6 to 0.8Cover the last 100 years, which is well within the natural variations recorded in the last millennium. The ground station network suffers from an uneven distribution across the globe; the stations are preferentially located in growing urban and industrial areas ("heat islands"), which show substantially higher readings than adjacent rural areas ("land use effects").
There has been no catastrophic warming recorded. ------------- Kryten : "'Pub'? Ah yes, A meeting place where humans attempt to achieve advanced states of mental incompetence by the repeated consumption of fermented vegetable drinks." |

Hmmm... 'other' for me... fear of the unknown. Also my dreams can creep me out quite a bit sometimes... I dont think Im really afraid of death... I dont WANT to die, but I am curious as to what happens if I do die. (wrote a really long response but thought it wouldve sounded a bit boring, and deleted it) (edit): Wow that was kind of stupid... fear of the unknown... and... not afraid of dying.... I guess im not really afraid of the unknown... i guess it just sounds cooler than 'afraid of spiders'? Ahh... I dont even know what Im saying anymore... been out all day... tired... gonna sleep now |

There isn't much that scares me any more. Things are as they are, and will happen as they do. It is the way of the Universe.
That covers the rational, but there is one that still haunts me ... Bees. In fact, any stinging insect. I think they are fascinating creatures, and will gladly watch a documentary. Just keep them away from me. Can't explain it, but I can't handle them. I am surprised that only one other post mentioned them. ------------- a.k.a.
