Are you creeped out by something benign..something like clowns? Teletubbies?

I'm scared that MY reflection will smile at me and cackle.

Ha ha, that's weird! I sometimes try to scare my reflection! I sneak up beside mirrors, then jump out and go "BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH!!!"

I'm fun in public. It's fun explaining that one: "One of these days, I'm gonna get that guy!"

Dislike having to call a strange phone number I NEED to call for info about something. I guess it's that talking to a total stranger at the other end thing.....

I have an irrational fear of all reflective surfaces; Catoptrophobia comes the closest, "fear of mirrors".

I don't know why, maybe it was all those horror stories that I read as a little kid.

i have that one myself often enough. the trick is to tell yourself, 9 times out of 10 they don't care about you personally, and are not out to get you, so the quicker you get your business with them done the better.

Needles and surgery. I hate getting shots, and watching someone else get a shot makes me sick to my stomach. Especially if it's on TV. I can watch the bloodiest, sickest, most violent horror movie, but turn on ER and I have to leave the room. It hink it's the depiction of something that is true to life vs. over the top gore.

I'm there. I often have a strange, tingly, bad sensation in the back of my thighs whenever I see or even hear about a 'real' injury. The thought of a needle slowly thrusting into a vein, makes me feel faint. But, I can talks about and describe disembowlment, eviceration, viviscetion, and a host of other gruesome things without batting an eye. Seeing it, though... Euuugh...

Deep Water freaks me out, and I don't like to swim in places where I can't see the bottom. Love to swim, though. Odd.

Arachnids in particular, but insects too, especially on me, especially on me without my knowing it (butthem finding out). I've taken to asking people just to kill them, and not even tell me about it.

My eyes are important to me, but, I have bad dreams about losing teeth. The thought terrifies me. You'd think, though, that it'd encourage me to brush more than once per day...

Also a little afraid of dogs, and I doubt working at a kennel for a summer helped that.

This one I empathise with! I've put off important phone calls for months because of an irrational fear of making phone calls to people I don't know. Once I make them, though, I'm generally perfectly fine on the phone. I can recieve calls fine, too.

Off topic: I'm from Massachusetts, and the first time someone asked me where the "Water Fountain" was, I told him 'in the park'. Bubblers, man. "Bubblah," with the accent.

Oh, and, after having a dream where my mother, dressed as a clown, tried to staple a clown wig to my head, I've been uneasy around staplers... I mean clowns!

Clowns totally freak me out. When I was a kid, a picture of a clown watched me....eeeechh....and chalk me up for blood/injury. I get all weak-limbed about it in general, though true emergency has been able to override it.

Someone I know is really freaked out by butterflies, doctors, and cops, but looooves vampires.

I can't have blood drawn from my left arm. It goes numb whenever I go to have a needle put in, so it has to go into my right arm.

It goes back to the first time I tried to give blood, in college, and the guy couldn't find the vein. He tried several times before tossing me out with a very interesting radiation trefoil-shaped bruise in my left elbow. Next time someone tried to put a needle in my arm, it went numb and I had to have it go in the right arm.

Of course, one wonders why, if it's numb, I don't have the needle put in. Which, now that I think of it, is a very good question.

Daytime soap operas. I don't mean I just don't like them; They give me the CREEPS.

There something about the studio lighting, the sets, the way the characters look and talk.... It frightens me. I can't be around it at all.

The sound of them on in a house in the middle of the day also conjures up for me the worst kind of slovenly domestic nightmare that I can't run away from fast enough.
