"What's your worst nightmare?"

Is there something in this world that brings shivers down your back? Or something you cant stand to think about? Heights? Rabid monkey attacks? Drowning?

Everyone has a worst fear. What's yours?

Reminds me of the time we went on a sausage sarnie trip to the cliffs.

I really don't like it. My brother and two of my friends crawled right up to the edge and peered over. That drop... That evil drop...

And I poisoned myself on a nettle and it swelled up.

Being locked in a coffin

I don't fear spiders or snakes.

I'd be much more terrified of two dozen crickets escaped in my bedroom than a tarantula.

I do fear drowning in open water, falling from a great height (even though I have no problem with heights), and having to witness someone I care about dying... gritty.

Cough to death on your first Cuban? :P

Same here. I love being very high up, every time I go to Blackpool I insist that we go up the tower. If there's ever any danger of falling then it's a completely different matter.

I was climbing a mountain in Wales when I was about eight years old. It wasn't very severe, but on one side there was a huge drop. Scared the hell out of me because I had no safety gear or reassurance that I wouldn't fall.

Generally I'm okay with heights if there is the possibility of falling I just can't stand it. So up high without safety equipment, e.g. ropes is it for me, I think.

Being confined in a small place, with the walls coming together every so slowly.

I'd prefer a quick, sudden death than a slow, prolonged one.

Nasty. Or grated between the two sides of the fissure as they close up.

To slip and fall down a deep fissure - to be injured, unable to move - and then be slowly gnawed to death by one big rat.

Hah, that's a funny joke.
