Corduroy & canned biscuits!! Who'd have thought?!? Any more to add to our list???

I used to hate the canned buiscuits, but I am ok with it now. I think my mom always had me open them for her. My neice(18) also has a balloon phobia. I just found out. I would have left them out of all the parties I invited her too.
I am slightly afraid of heights. I am ok in skywalks. But just last night I went somewhere that on the second level you could see down to the first level, and the wall only goes up a little over your waist. I always think about if someone was horsing around they could get bumped over. And in highschool, I hated having to walk all the way up to the top of the bleachers. And it seemed I always had to sit there.
When I went to a Pistons game, the seats were pretty high up, and you feel like you can just fall down over all the people below you if you lean over to far. I always did ok on rollercoasters, but there is something a little safe feeling about being tied in.
I never, ever care to go see the Grand Canyon. I think hubby would love to go there. There is a swinging bridge not far from here that always freaked me out. It was ok, if I went on it by myself. But some meanie would always have to start swinging it as I am halfway across.
My husband and 12 year old daughter climbed on top of the barn last year to watch some fireworks. There is no way I would be able to do that. My 11 year old daughter tried to, but she was so scared, and she started crying.

I don't really like heights, but have gotten better over the years with that. I can't really think of anything that really strikes terror into my heart.

Maybe I am weird because I don't have phobias.

Handshaking is my worst it is rooted from my germophobia.

I also hate feet - which is also from the germ thing

Respiratory secretions - germs again but I also hate the texture and sight of them. As a nurse who has trach patients I have to deal with them daily - in 24 yrs I have not been able to get used to it.

Door knobs, hand rails, toilet handles, .... germs again

I've never understood the fear of clowns thing, but I've heard that's a common phobia. I also don't like total darkness and I think I've instilled this in my kids. We leave bathroom lights on at home and when we stay in hotels we're like your dh & leave the bathroom light on too.

Going24/7, I'm a bit of a germophob too! I will never hold onto the escelator handrail and as we said before about people thinking our phobias are funny, my husband always tries to push me so that I'll have to touch it. He thinks it's crazy! Jerk!

Oh, and I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who fears the biscuit can!
