Guns

Had 1 pointed at me 6 years ago, even the armed police who were protecting me made me nervous coz they had guns as well.

SPIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was at kickboxing last Sunday and a huge one (we call them hum dingers) was running around the floor..
I can't harm any living creature and although absolutly petrified i couldn't see 'hum dinger' come to harm..
The lads were threatening to stand on it - so, being the big brave kickboxer i am- i grabbed it with my bare hand and gave it legs to the door!
I screemed the whole way there and almost vomited when i saw it run away, pmsl...
'orrible things - but i couldn't ever hurt one..

LOU XXXXXXxxxxxxxx
ps. almost spewed thinking about it then, LMAO

I'm a tunnel engineer, so no problem there!
I avoid if at all possible:
Climbing ladders or vertical rockfaces (OK looking down from buildings like the CN Tower in Toronto)
Swimming (but OK in boats)
Wasps (bees are fine)
Bungee jumping (I haven't even tried)
Major operations (I've only had minor ones).

Thanks Everyone
Very interesting all your fears.
I forgot about Snakes I am also terrified of them I curl my legs up if I see one on TV.
Hubby had to kill one in the garage one day and you couldn't see me for dust.
My eldest son stood on a snake when he was younger, luckily he stood on it's head and it just slithered away. He came in as white as a ghost.
Thanks everyone
Regards

Jackie and Daff, don't come to Madeira. We are full of tunnels and bridges and have plenty of narrow, winding roads with unprotected steep drops!! And not only that, your plane has to land on an aircraft carrier.

Nothing terrifies me, but I don't like using matches, lighters etc. Gas hob lights automatically, but we do get lots of power cuts, and I won't change the gas bottle.
