That's not a phobia. That's just sense. :)Quote:

This particular part of the thread about the spiders kinda made me lawl. No offense, but where I live, we have REAL spiders.

The very common huntsman spider, although not very venomous, can grow to be the size of a dinnerplate in the bush. They eat other spiders, and as such tend to be incredibly fast runners. I personally knew a girl who was driving her car gingerly along, when she pulled down her sun visor, flipping a full grown huntsman directly on to her face. Suffice to say, as most of us would, she drove her car directly into a tree and wrote it off. She was ok tho.

They too, like your Wolf-spider Juniper, care for their babies. Which of course just gives most people a terrible case of the whillies.
There are heaps of more poisonous ones, some of the most deadly in the world of course. But they arent nearly as creepy so.
However I digress. My personal fear is of Earwigs, which has absolutely no basis, their existence just offends me.
I am also terrified of cliffs and other giant hieghts, which is why I enjoy jumping off them so much. Preferably into water.
Urgh, why does that last one even feel the need to exist, it just shouldn't be allowed, it's too grotesque. I am never going to Australia if that's the kind beasts it harbours. *shivers*Quote:

And Nax, I agree with earwigs :sick: I used to be really scared of them when I was younger, because they loved hiding in our bath sponge things :sick:
As for me I'm petrified of ventriloquist dummies and most puppets (automatonophobia) and car washes (the drive through ones).
I am actually rather fond of spiders, which is somewhat odd, given the terror the blur of a fleeing mouse inspires.

Claustrophobia
all these spider pictures are driving me crazy.... I hate them
Ahh, I didn't know they weren't supposed to survive. I hope no one would seriosuly touch that big spider:eek:Quote:
