George1990 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Homosexuals. Not being funny, but when you see them mincing down the street hugging each other just makes me want to spew. Sort it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I wouldn't say I have a phobia of anything. I don't like heights but if I have to go up a ladder or scaffold etc I will just get on with it but if their is a choice I won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aled Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Doesnt really count as a phobia i suppose, because i can cope with the situation. I hate being in seriously crowded pubs. Those of you who have been to Cardiff international day will know what i mean. When i lived in Cardiff, i'd watch the match, then high leg it out of the city centre back to the pubs on the edge of the city as quick as poss. Far quieter! Other than that i think i'm ok. Did have a girlfriend once who had a phobia of penises...or was it just mine??? LOL Anyway she's no longer my girlfriend.

Shootingman Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Snakes......................yuk! I'm fine with mice, rats (Salop Sniper isn't he he big girl!) and anything else, although cockroaches did turn my stomach on holiday! But snakes, I literally almost pass out, I'm terrified! I can get a little spider out of the house safely, but a Tarrantula would scare the **** out of me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Sam Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Heights.... but only up to 5,000 feet. Above that I'm fine. Very strange.... but perhaps it was due to being a **** pilot and nearly totalling a Cessna a few feet off the ground. Never could finish my pilots licence, as being just a few hundred feet up scared the **** out of me. Being at 30,000ft is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aled Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 As an aside my brother was a professional rugby union player. He'd quite happily tackle the likes of Martin Johnson, Dean Richards, or Martin Corry, by runs a mile at the site of a spider!

fo5ter Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I get a bit panicky when midgets or dwarves run, i know its bad but it terrifies me! I hate people walking behind me too - i have to stop and let them past. I also absolutely hate walking behind people who are slower than me such as in supermarkets, and people who stop for no reason - not really a phobia though i guess but still ****** me off.

libs Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 crossing at traffic lights unless I can actually see the red light is on, people often wonder why I crane my neck round before walking over a crossing. If there is no lights I feel fine. Rather odd I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnGalway Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) A bit like MC I dislike fixed heights. Had to help put up a stainless steel balcony railing on a third floor last year. Three steps of scaffolding involved which was fine, the worst was I was the "volunteer" to take the damn thing down, wasn't enjoying that much at the time. I also dislike ladders up bare walls, I don't mind them going up on roofs or sheds etc but just a bare wall for painting I don't like it, but I'll do both if I have to. Caves are no good either, especially ones with water or the sea in them, no thank you. I'm not a fan of people either, not being funny but I just don't enjoy things like pubs, clubs, parties etc. Rather be out! I'll make a great grumpy old sod though Edited March 3, 2009 by JohnGalway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperfection Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Im absolutely terrified of water since almost drowning in river as a teenager.Makes me feel sick when i walk my dog on a small footbridge over the locks. Im also claustaphobic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I'm scared of heights, but only if I suspect that it's not a "normal" place to be For instance, I'm OK on top of a cliff or tall building, Eiffel Tower, flying etc etc, but if I'm out walking in the hills and find myself negotiating a steep bit, I get panicky as it gets steeper and steeper and I find breathing getting difficult. I can get myself into a situation where I feel that I can't keep going and I can't get back to where I started - horrible feeling. I could never take up climbing or mountaineering or serious hardcore trekking at altitude. I just don't know how people do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Snakes, I know when it started too, when l was at Cub camp in Devon in the late 80's, rock-climbing holiday with all the others, then walked back down this path and there was a show on in the main arena, with people walking around the outside with very lage snakes around their necks allowing people to wear them, one of them stuck one around my neck (whilst l was facing the other way) its head came round and l froze, freeked, and never liked them ever since. Reinforced later on in life by..........People having the larger ones as pets around where l used to live and were constantly letting them go along the rivers - where l ran into some African thing sliding along the bank (12 at this point) - never fished a river bank after that slithered behind me on the bank. This thing (no lie) was 4" across the head and over 20ft long.... Browny/green/zig-zaggy marks .... I'd shoot every last one of them.
