Only the last page or so...And it's still reasonably on topic. I was 100% serious when I said I was more scared of people than anything else, and I think that those who responded similarly to me...were very serious as well.
It's a forum full of animal lovers and snake enthusiasts. It's going to be tough to keep a topic like this on topic for very long...

They're evil aren't they!!?? Stupid, mean, nasty birds! Seagulls are worse, though! Devil-birds I tells 'ya! My best-friend used to torment me by throwing food outside the car window when we'd be in a parking lot full of 'em. They'd swarm the car and I'd just sit inside huddled in a ball.

When I was a kid our neighbor across the bayou (yes I am THAT backwoods)had three geese. I would go down to the bank to catch tadpoles and crawfish and the geese would hiss at me. If the bayou was low enough they would come flapping across hissing and spitting and snapping their beaks! I swear I have nightmares to this day!

If I find a tick on myself I go a little bit nuts, but really - don't laugh - I have a completely irrational fear of earthworms. When it rains, and they are laying all over my sidewalk, and I can't hardly walk without stepping on them... **SHUDDER**

Spiders. Of all shapes and sizes. But especially big spiders scare the pants off of me.
My two other fears are needles (I know... I have 3 tattoos and a piercing... but that's not the same) and groups of small children.
I've had nightmares about small children riding giant spiders wielding hypodermic needles as weapons. *shudder*

Hey I don't really blame you. I won't even stick my hand in her cage. I clean it out with a pair of 12 inch tongs. You should see what a production it is to get her out of the cage. Think cattle being transfered from chute to chute to chute, ending finally in a desired location.
The rest of them are ok though

Robbie, I'm glad you're not the only one to say tattoos and piercings do not equal no fear of needles! I've had a severe phobia of needles since I can remember. I'm known to pass out just getting my blood drawn. However I have piercings and tattoos and have had doctors tell me I'm just over dramatic because if I can handle a piercing or tattoo then I should have no fear of a hypodermic needle. I never can get it through their edumacated heads that it's totally different!

Exactly!!!!!!
Tattoo/piercing = VOLUNTARY procedure.
Blood drawing/shots/etc. = FORCED procedure.
When I went in to have my cavity fixed and a crown put on, the dentist couldn't get anywhere near me with a needle. My mouth clamped shut, and I was literally shaking. We had to go get me a prescription for valium.
I guess part of the fear of hypodermic needles is more-so a fear of what they contain. You don't know if what they say is in them is actually in them. They could say they're giving you a vaccination, but instead, they're pumping you full of cyanide. You don't know any different!

See mine is more the pain and time factor. I have horrible veins. HORRIBLE! I don't care how good you say you are, you are not going to get an IV in me or be able to draw blood on the first stick. Has never happened before and I don't foresee it in the future. My veins roll and are rock hard. So nurses have to dig and dig around for them. It hurts! A lot! I've even had a nurse expode one of my veins and that was no frickin' picnic. Guess what? They never did get that dang IV in me! Last time I ended up having to have a pic line just to get an IV. So, yeah, when I see a needle coming at me, I'm generally on the floor in the fetal position.

Do you realize that's just Caucasians (i.e., European descent)? Are you not scared of all the other subspecies/races of modern extant humans when drunk and packing?
I don't imbibe alcohol as a general practice - and not even to a point of a "buzz" within last half of my life - but I do carry guns and I am white. Does that mean you are 66.7% scared of me? LOL..... Does that mean if I jump out of the closet to scare you, I should yell "bo" or "oo?" I'm not sure - what should I do? LOL
