#1 is Sharks. No question. "Jaws" deeply scarred me for life. I will stand on the beach and look at the salt water vice stick my foot in... Unnatural fear... If I land on the Discover Channel during Shark Week, I have to quickly click off... I'll laugh in the face of Nightmare on Elm Street and Halloween type movies, but you put the original "Jaws" on and the blood drains from my face and I sit frozen trying to not pee myself. You can maybe outrun or hide from Freddy Kruger, you won't out swim a Great White...

I also have a fear of drowning in my car (not being able to get out)...

Let me tell you, driving over the Florida Keys bridge brought both fears to life -- drowning in my car, or, if I happen to get out, whew!, then a Great White shows up... It is a bridge I didn't care for, LOL. My fears didn't stop me, but it was tense.

Majore issues with water, you could say... But, since both scenarios are pretty unlikely, I don't any more realistic fears I can think of. I do pretty well with heights... Tended to be the only one in the group that will easily climb a tower or hanger to install equipment when I was younger... I've found more friends with a fear of heights or flying in an airplane than any.
