I'm scared of heights, when I was young(er - no old fart jokes please) I looked down a steep cliff and it suddenly felt weird. Since that day i've been scared of heights.
I alsom used to have a phobia of dogs which has now been dismissied from my brain after I realised I could kill all the damn things just by sitting on them.

I have exactly the same thing. I find myself backing away from them, and it's weird.
That, and a slight case of claustriphobia (is that how you spell it?) and, somehow, I have a fear of water. When I get my head dunked or fall in somewhere or whatever, and you can't breath and you don't know which way is up, that freaks me out

Mystique's not gonna be happy...
Dogs:
Ever since my aunt's b*****d terrier bit my foot when I was younger, I've been scared of dogs ever since. But now, I'm getting alot more comfortable around dogs now.
Heights:
Ok, so maybe I'm not so scared of heights anymore since I went abseiling.
Spiders:
Evil little creatures. My phobia of the things started when I came home and a huge spider, bigger then my hand, was on our house wall, just under our kitchen window. Dad put a stick in its mouth and it snapped the stick in half, terrified me.
Pins and needles:
That 'un started when I had a pin stuck in my foot, and it hurt like hell. So now I'm wary around them.
Shakira:
That popstar woman, her hair was what made me scared of her. You know, the big dreadlocks/frizz ball.
The others are stupid ones.
Whenever i see a spider in my house, i run around screaming like a little girl, apart from all that high-pitched non-sense.
This all reminds me of a time when i was youngish, I was talking to a couple of kids about that movie, Arachnephobia, or however you spell it, and they both seemed to tink that the spiders in the film were called Arachnephobias. I tried to tell them otherwise, but they would'nt believe me. Still peeeeed me off to this day.
Damn kids.
I give blood. It's the right thing to do. I don't get affected. They hang the bag of blood under the bed thing, but I sat up and looked at it. It's really purple. Cool. Then they took tests to see if I had AIDs or TB.
Then they send me a card thingy that had my blood type (A+). It's a swipe card so I don't have to fill in forms next time. Excellent.
No card saying "Congralutions, you've got AIDS!" with a dancing blood-drop. Also a plus.
I've got a phobia of anything sharp near my wrists. It's got to be the worst way to die.
> I have a fear of needles.
I read that as noodles. I was like "Whaaaaat?" mmmmmm Pot Noodle. My friend ate a Pizza flavour one without me the other day. Damn him.
Anyway, reading that reminded me of my fear of Tuna. My little sister use to make me freak when she ate it and she had to sit on the other side of the table. I made her.
Talking of Pizza flavoured Pot Noodles, Tuna and my friend...I ate a Pizza round his a few weeks back thinking it was Chicken. Eat it all and it turns out to be Tuna.
Tasted like Chicken though and didn't stink. Weird.
