I had a friend as a kid who told the class she was afraid of the skinny children from the commercials about sending African children money. I thought it was funny then and, by George, I think it's funny now.

Scorpions, lizards, snakes, lobsters, escalators, flying.... the future.
I've been staying with my boyfriend and he apparently lives in lizard country because they're everywhere. They are small and (he says) harmless but they still creep me out. And last week I found a dead dried up scorpion while sweeping. None of that would be as bad as if I saw a snake though. I'd probably cry. I'm happy that I haven't seen one in many years.
Centipedes. Don't know why they get me so, but holy crap I lose all of my trout when I see one.
My mom spooks easily. She hates scary movies or even any show that hints there might be a spooky scene upcoming. She covers her eyes, shrivels up into a ball and tries not to listen to sudden noises.
She startles easily too. If the sound around her is generally quiet and someone says something from a direction she's not expecting (i.e. normally, my dad would be using a computer at the dining room table, and if he's not there) my mom jumps. She jumps if she turns and finds you there even if you've been there for the past few minutes. Even if you made a point of a noisy entrance. Even if your shadow is clearly visible on a near wall. Even if there is a mirror in front of her in which she has already seen your reflection. Apparently, none of this aids her in judging your distance from her when she turns, so if you happen to be close, she jumps and make a slight squeak. Then she gets mad at you because she apparently has poor depth perception and is must be going deaf in at least one ear.

Mitt Romney.
For a second I thought this was the 4 eva thread and I was going to BAD SAM you.
chica-chica-yeah.
No creature really scares me if I'm being honest. I do get a bit iffy walking in pitch dark - It think it's probably a fear of the unknown.

I have had a striped giant bulbous spider hanging out outside the window by my front door all summer. I have watched him eat many flies while smoking on the porch. I have named him Mr. Jones, and I want to kill him, but I am smurfing horrified of his big bulb body.
I was standing by the window last night and he stuck his front legs up menacingly at me after sucking out the innards of a fly.
Grant me the power to stop this thing from becoming more powerful.
Zing him with some hairspray. Hairspray is spiders' kryptonite. (That and shoes, anyway.)
