dude I was snorkeling in Kauai last year, and the water was beautiful, but I swear every 2 seconds I was checking behind me to make sure nothing snuck up on me... F that!
Also... what if people think I'm dead but I'm not and I wake up in my already buried coffin, or wake up in the incinerator, right before I'm gonna be cremated....
I went snorkeling off the coast of Hawaii when i was 15, and a shark swam right past me without a second glance. I literally almost threw up my heart at that moment.
good GOD! That would scare the everything outta me. At one point a Sea Turtle swam about 3 feet in front of me, and I didnt see him till the last second. My wife said she heard me through the snorkle all the way to the beach about 50 feet away lol. I can only imagine a shark!
my work Compy's run like Internet explorer 6 lol, I only have a red x with this. Better not be a Sounders crest!
I used to have fears that I would forget how to breath. I sometimes have to stop and think about how to swallow food if I'm short of breath. Really weird, like I almost panic.
Now that I think about it, centipedes crawling up my anus on their way to my nose has always been a big fear. Irrational or otherwise.
That reminds me of Cartman in Southpark and the movie Silence of the Lambs. [video=youtube;7rgSnm2-2ps]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rgSnm2-2ps[/video]
There are quite a few countries I'm paranoid to visit, but I'm not sure if that is irrational or not though.
Ever since the first time I watched "The Wrath of Khan", the idea of an insect burrowing its way through my brain and into my ear has freaked me out. Also, similar to you other semi-claustrophobics, I always worry when I have to go into the crawl space under my house that I'm going to get stuck slithering under a ventilation duct and be trapped down there.
Yeah, claustrophobia is no friend of mine so I'm going with 2nd most irrational fear and saying spelunking..cave diving in those little cracks a couple miles underground with a small lifeline, all the sea life has no color like Golum and there's no peripheral vision, that drainpipe fear is a creepy one....(shudder)
I worry about some crazy old guy with wide hairy wrists walking up and giving me a double titty-twister.
