Your Stupid, Completely Irrational Fears

I have a fear the powerlines are going to snap right as I walk underneath them. My mind can't comprehend how they can stretch across miles of space without completely snapping, the tension must be insane! There's these lines on one of my runs that go from the side of a mountain, all the way down the valley probably 2 miles away and connect to another tower, I'd imagine the lbs of pressure must be in the millions, if it snapped, I'd be dead, no doubt!

What are your irrational fears?

Another one is e coli! I wash everyfuckin' thing that comes into my house!

Those long spans of large wire on transmission towers are sagged to engineered tension. Common ft/lb of tension is in the 6-8 thousand pound range. My irrational fear is that they break while working up there.

Mine is driving over railway tracks, even if the barriers have not come down and their are no lights flashing I have this vision that a train will come and smash into the car it's wierd I know, but I tense every time I go over one and I always make sure the traffic in front is not going to stop and leave me sitting on crossing with no where to go. :shock:

whenever I'm in water & you can't see anything past your waist. Especially when there is something like seaweed always touching you.

Sitting on a toilet...

Ever since goulies at the end were that dudes taking a shit in the trailer and the thing pops out the toilet and gets him. That and when I was younger I was cleaning the toilet and a black widow came out from under the rim. Not to mention OCD and germs. I squatted like a bird on the rim while I shit up until like 5 years ago when i got a lil too fat for that. I still don't use public restrooms unless dire emergency. Hell I don't even sit in the public restrooms in my home... just the bathroom in my bedroom.

Being stuck in traffic, under an overpass, even if for just a few seconds I find myself looking for an "out" should things start to "shake".

If I'm swimming in deep water, like off the side of a boat or even if you go way out and get to a ridge that drops off and I can't see the bottom, I'm fixate on the blackness and the fact I can't see anything. I'll try to keep it together but it's only a matter of time before I freak the fuck out and need to get back on the boat or into shallow water.

Kind of like being scared of the dark I guess, although that doesn't freak me out anymore, not on land anyways.

God damn it, that fucking toilet spider video made me jump.

I don't play with spiders, fuck all that.

Although my girl had a pet taranchula, for whatever reason that was different, but those little hairs they have that get stuck in your skin still blows.

Spiders with big asses are the worst.

No way. It's those skinnyass fashion spiders with bulimia and an attitude. cn

These ones are the worse. I think they're harmless, but I'd be running around having a good old time in the woods or some dumb shit like that and then run straight into one of these fuckers chilling in between trees or tall grass.

Fuck these spiders and their fat asses and funny little "z" webs....
