Watching this show on the tallest building gives me the same feeling I get when I'm in a REALLY tall building.  For me its:

Fear of heights

Fear of driving on bridges (related to heights I guess)

What about you guys?

Im the same way man, whenever i see people on really tall buildings or sky diving or things like that my feet and hands get sweaty. when i drive over the bridge to the lake i fish at i always think hmm, that would suck if this thing collapsed then my feet and hands get sweaty lol. Oh and spiders, i hate them just as much. So yea heights and spiders.

My fear is not making a difference in someones life.

My phobias are bridges but most of all Crickets.

Same! Would you rather be in a confined space with a rattlesnake, or swim laps around the Farallons?

UCK! What a horrible set of options!

Swimming laps I guess. At least those 20ft killing machines would finish me quick and I probably wouldn't see it coming.

Everytime I see Great Whites hitting those decoys on the Discovery Channel, I am torn between how awesome and gnarly it is, and sheer terror.

Redline,

I have no real fears but my maternal grandmother was a Cajun so I learned a lot from her about Cajun superstitions.

However, when I am watching an LSU football game or other sports contests on TV and my team is winning, I will not move anything nor change positions in the chair or couch.

There is a psychiatric term for this behavior but I don't know it.

As soon as the team screws up, I will then move things or reposition myself.

Hey, it worked for most of the football season this year, other than for the Saints.

I also wear my religious medal that got me through Viet Nam with no injuries, although I did have a few close calls in **** Country.

Fourbizzel,

I learned a long time ago that you don't swim in waters where you can't see what is seeing you.

Just a word to the wise......

I actually like heights.  Launching off cliffs was my very favorite thing to do (Skiing-a "calculated" risk) but heights in a car (big bridges,etc) ,..I don't like.  Add a heavy wind and an empty UPS truck and it's a white knuckle ride home from Newport or Jamestown (2 big islands here)

Losing engine power offshore makes me nervous also.

Heights, big bugs, public speaking, and failure.

The fear of failure has kept me from doing alot of things that I might have otherwise really enjoyed.

slomoe- you'll never know if you don't try.  Read the quote in my signature. ;)

As stated in an earlier thread......snakes and scorpions.

Falcon

Heights

Snakes,Snakes and more snakes.

My biggest fear is death, or the death of a loved one.  I think about that all the time and how there are so many f'd up things that happen in the world to normal people (read the news, ever).  Any of our lives can be forever changed for the worse in the blink of an eye, and that scares the ***** out of me.

Phobias: spiders, centipedes

Violence

Poverty

Drugs

LMAO

extremely confined spaces, as where I can barely move my arms. That and hitting a rock with my boat.

Snakes and ketchup.

Heights (where there is a possibility of falling off).

Running into my wife in a bad mood, before I can get the bags into the garage, upon returning home from one of Cabela's super secret sales.

ACTUALLY I FEAR ZEL'S GARAGE. YOU NEED A GUIDE TO GET OUT OF IT

Muddy, you can easily figure it out. I arranged access in the garage around the theory of the Texas Two Step. Follow these instructions and you'll never get lost in there again First, step forward quickly with your left foot. Then step forward quickly with your right foot. Then step forward again with your left foot, but slowly. Then a short Pause. Then step forward slowly with your right foot. Pause again and then pull your left foot even with your right. Repeat until out the door. See, simple!

Along the heights issue, I was fishing this lake in Northern CA that's crystal clear.  I could see the bottom below me, about 75 feet down.  It kind of freaked me out!  I had to move the boat to shallower water.   ;D
