good cover. You don't have to lie on the internet though.

What freaking part of you is glad you read that? That is one of the most nauseating stories I've ever read.

Did something like this happen in Superman 2? This thought has occurred to me before while on a platform but I didn't act much differently. It would be an interesting but weird experiment to step right behind a stranger just as a train is pulling up to see if they reacted. I bet this freaks out all but the hardened commuter.

I know a lot of people like this.

I think in general most people who are afraid of things that are fairly common but suck are people who almost never have them happen to them.

My roommate is pretty much scared of everything:
Spiders
Midgets
Clowns
...I wanna go as a midget clown for halloween but afraid I would get killed in my sleep

They are also afraid of:
Being shocked
Putting things in hot water, like vegetables, They pretty much throw them in the water from across the room making a much worse splash then dropping them in like a normal person

I of course am scared of nothing

Getting into a horrible car accident and not dying and ending up in a vegetative state is also a big fear of mine. I would actually prefer to die rather than end up with paraplegia or something. This actually makes me drive faster/more recklessly because I don't want to get into an accident where there is a chance of me surviving, I'd rather just make the odds of my survival as slim as possible (which probably makes no sense.)

I probably jinxed myself into paraplegia by posting this.

I developed a st-st-stutter because of it and after a couple weeks my mom took my a speech therapist because she was worried I'd have it forever. Supposedly it went away on it's own after a couple months. I must have blocked the entire thing from my memory because I don't remember being stung or having the stutter but ever since I've had an unnatural fear of them.

We moved into a townhouse back in the fall of 2005. Two weeks after we moved in, we're sitting watching tv and we hear a clanking against the patio door. Opened the shades and there was the largest bee I've ever seen banging against the glass door. Ended up being a Cicada Killer wasp.

In the fall of 2006 I killed 4 of them. I would turn the patio light on to lure them out where they would bang against my shed door next to the light. Big *******. Supposedly the males can't sting or something and females will only sting if you really really provoke them but they freak me the hell out so I just wasted them.

Haven't seen any around since.

100% man. bees scare the **** out of me for really no reason at all. there's something about that hovering way they fly and the potential for an unexpected sting that just freaks me out.

I'm normally fine with other insects/animals.

man ive never been scared of insects. i used to play with them in the backyard all the time when i was little. i remember one time, i picked a bee up in my hand to go show my mom and closed my hand not knowing any better. it stung me, so i squeezed my hand as hard as i could and crushed it.

1) Chiropractors - creepy old men pushing on you to try to make your joints crack, yikes, it just makes me cringe thinking about it, plus I think that they will break your bones on accident.

2) The air bags in my car going off for no reason at all while driving down the highway.

3) Snakes - not that unusual, i know, but still a paralyzing fear

4) Getting impaled by an icicle falling off the side of a building.

i don't have nuts, but i know exactly what you're talking about. i get this too. in a way that reminds me more of death than a good sexual feeling - though not as dramatic as i just made it sound. as you said, it's just an uncomfortable feeling. i think my head feels a little weird too like my brain might tighten up a bit. but i don't really FEEL scared i'm usually pretty calm when this stuff happens. but it's weird.

i am scared of riding up a winding mountain road in a car where there is a big cliff separated by just that small rail and definitely think we're gonna crash in this situation. other heights too like standing near the edge of ANYTHING. even just one story high. but oddly enough not afraid of airplanes.

I can't relate to any of this so far. None of this seems scary.

The closest would be 'fear' with the mechanized staircase thing but that wasn't so much fear as curiosity.
