Apoligies to you

I fail to see the humor. I accept your apology but please don't do that again.

The strangest thing is that I hesitated to ask any of the many onlookers to run across the road and get the preist.
I knew as he attended the same school as my kid there was a big chance he was Catholic, and logically I could see by his wounds he wouldnt make it
but I didn't think as I was kneeling there beside him that I should call for the priest,
not been in my upbringing.

It's been held against me that I didnt
BUT I did tell him whether he heard me or not, that I'd called and asked for his mum, she was on her way.

Sorry think I've faced my biggest fear, nothing can be worse.

that and is it only me that thinks every town smells diffrent?
And each smell attached to an emotion
Every country/region
Glasgow is very diffrent to Edinburgh to me
Thurso and Wick are peaty but each diffrent
Orkney all on its own
Amstredam is kinda wet/ herby
Paris dry, dry not even garlckly
Rhodes.dry, sage and goats
An other Greek Island is dry, sagey, lemon
Iceland is bad eggs and fish; brilliant place tho'

@Thefife - Oh sweetie, the countryside is a wonderful place once you get used to it.
I grew up in the country and on summer nights, I used to set my tent up in the back garden and sleep out there as many nights as my parents would let me.(No alarms, pepper sprays or big dogs in sight)
A cow broke out from the field next door once and started to eat my tent at about 3am!
Once you get used to the silence, you'll realise it's actually calm and comforting.

The only time I ever knew any hassle was when I moved to the city as an adult. I've been burgled 3 times, had god knows how many prowlers and peeping Thoms!!

Thank God I'm now safely back in the country Wink

^^^ A country free of snakes I suspect. Wink

I don't fly anymore. I know it's irrational. But there's nothing anyone could say to get me on a plane again. Slight problem when both my homes are on different islands, but I've adapted to the slowness of sea travel.

^^^I love snakes! Had a couple of Albino pythons in my time!

@Rockaway - It's like looking at Jack Sparrow 30yrs from now Laughing

on y0utub3 do a search on "Maury Povich" then "pickles" -- there is a vid of a girl on it who is sooooo afraid of pickels I was LMAO watching it. Also a guy afraid of peaches and another lady afraid of balloons.

I'm afraid of anything with more than four legs and not furry

Insects? Whats the worst they can do but sting you?

Well, yeah but this thread was called irrational fears Wink

I guess that one is quite irrational, I just hate that they seem to fly sort of uncontrolled and are pretty unpredictable. I don't know, can't really explain it ... Neutral

When I was a child, I made the mistake of watching "The Birds."
I was terrified by them for many years.

I got over it. Smile

replace water in the water sprinker with pepper spray and put it above

I'd love to do that, but my husband isn't a dog person. Evil or Very Mad

I wish I could install things around the permiter of my house that shoots out pepper spray if certain areas are breached & a loudspeaker comes on (preferably of Samuel L. Jackson) shouting "GET THE F*CK OFF MY PROPERTY OR I'LL KILL YOU B*TCH"...if I could have a camera system too recording the whole thing so I could put it on YouTube & give it to the cops for evidence that would be great too. Twisted Evil

I'm not entirely joking either, I've actually spent time trying to figure out how to accomplish the auto-pepper spray aspect.[/quote]

Revolving doors. I'm not kidding, the things terrify me. I literally break out into a cold sweat and almost hyperventilate when I'm forced to go through one. When I was a kid, I broke my arm going through one (my brother's fault - the prick Evil or Very Mad

). I've never been able to shake my fear of them since.

^^^ Don't like those either.
I've been stuck in them more then once now. It SUCKS Crying or Very sad

I was nearly killed by a freight elevator when I was in college. Only a miracle saved me.

I expected to be afraid of elevators from then on, but it was quite the opposite. Ducking death seemed to sweep away most of my self-preservation fears.

Now my deepest fears center on the people I love.

I only trust revolving doors at hospitals Laughing

Escalators are pretty scary.

Just think about it: if one breaks down when you're riding on it, you're stuck between two floors in some crappy department store all night until the electrician comes and fixes it.

Shocked
