Eating out
Public toilets (pissing is fine but I avoid taking a shit unless I've purelled the seat)
Crowds, or even groups of more'n 5-6 people.
Witnessing surgical procedures

"Panel" interviews...honestly I've only been in two but that's enough for me to decide that if I ever go to another interview that turns out to a panel, I'm out - Pass on my luck to the next applicant.
I'm not sure if this one counts as a phobia or something I just feel very strongly about, I have never been in less comfortable situations, and I think that they're an asshole of a process...a process I'm just not at all willing to subject myself to again.

I'm with you on that...throw in sharks and we're good to go.


oh wait.....I always freak out when I hear planes zooming in close. I've always been afraid of a plane crashing into my house.

Maybe it's because I am where I am, but...while I don't find the idea of being ripped apart a fear-less occasion, crocs and sharks just don't rate for me. Sure, it could happen, but I guess the infrequency of it has never really made me think the odds were against me.

Spiders & Snakes, I'm good with too, pretty much grew up where these things were in abundance though. You learn the lessons, you deal with things.
Some people are even afraid of a spider type that wouldn't bite or poison, because they don't like how it looks or feels, how it crawls, etc...not me, I kind've like it. They're delicate.

I mean I get WHY people have these ones...pretty much, it's just a "this is a dangerous animal" response mostly.

You guys have mental bugs over there! I wonder how long it'd take for me to get used to 'em?
