I don't fancy going through the Channel Tunnel but apart from that I am ok. I would be a little worried if a snake came into the house but not to thr point of freaking out.

Only slight claustrophobia, but I feel uneasy in crowded places and hate large supermarkets and shopping centres - especially indoor ones - with thousands of people wandering around. I need to get out into the open air!

The most depressing place in my life was a monstrosity in Runcorn called Shopping City in the earl 80s. I was doing a Uni sandwich year nearby and lived close to this place for 2 months. An enclosed shopping centre on concrete pillars with a bus station underneath it. One more month and I'd have been in the looney bin! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I really, really don't like electric shocks, even the idea of them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ill.gif)
I don't understand how people can voluntarily put their hands on those games that give you electric shocks, even if they are only mild.

One of the strangest ones I've seen: an old friend of mine is scared of yellow fruits (e.g. bananas); he eats green pears but not yellow ones and he eats apples although we all try to tell him they're in fact yellow inside (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I'm not telling you mine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Anything snake-like (snakes, caterpillars, slugs...) or fish-like.
Eels are the absolute worst!

The idea of swimming in the same water as anything vaguely fishy sends shivers down my spine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/eek.gif)

ALL creepy-crawlies and related delights - ie spiders (Big Time), slugs, snails, worms.

I'll never forget my dad throwing a worm at me when I was about six and it landed on my arm. Ewwww.

Him Indoors is WONDERFUL with spiders - he is quite happy to pick up even the biggest (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ill.gif) .

I don't like people much, either - I mean in large quantities and at close quarters, mainly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) - crowded and noisy pubs, the Tube (which I will do almost anything to avoid travelling on), airports, planes...

I'm terrified of lightning, because I was struck by it when I was 13 years old while on a camping holiday with the school in the New Forest.
