Kim — There seem to be lots of people afraid of sharks where sharks can’t swim. Hmmm.

Rebecca — More eyes! Ewwww! I bet you’re OK with tiny spiders. It’s the ones the size of your hand you have to worry about.

TheSnackHound — No, I would not like that Sam I Am.

LaTonya — Ours are growing fast. You should see them. They’re up to my waist now. You’re not alone with the clothing thing. I hate seeing an object in the dark and can’t make out what it is. Usually it’s a cat.

amber — OMG. I would never be able to sleep again. I would have to move. God bless you.

ROTFL I always pop by here when I need a bit of a giggle, this hit the spot, thanks! I can't stand bats. When I was about 9 a bat got into my attic room in the middle of the night, and couldn't get out. I was traumatized for life. amber’s last blog post..I am so pathetic...

Sun flowers are my favorite!!! Tried to grow some, but too much shade around my house. I guess if they're sun flowers, they need, SUN! My irrational fear is...Clothes hanging on the outside of the closet while I sleep at night. I wake up thinking someone is looming over me. My husband loves to hang his clothes on the outside of the closet the night before. Drives me crazy! LaTonya’s last blog post..A Tale Of A Fish

I'm not scared of sunflowers. I'm scared of the GIGANTIC, MONSTROUS, sunflower-eating spiders that look like wolf spiders but have more eyes and hairy legs!! Yickkk! (well, you did ask about irrational fears. Irrational, yep, that's me!) Rebecca’s last blog post..I Can’t Decide…

I can't swim in the pool by myself. I'm afraid a shark will get me. Seriously. Kim’s last blog post..Are status updates another way to keep up with the Joneses??

Becky G. — You know, I’ve actually thought about the destroyed-house thing, but only because a friend got a call at work one day that her house was “leaking.” Turns out the plumber who she had doing work didn’t fix a toilet correctly, and it wound up flushing itself over and over for hours. She has so much water damage. I hope I didn’t just give you a new fear.

Lin — This is so amazing to me. I never worry about open closet doors, but it seems like you’re not the only one with that issue. Seems like about 10% of you have it. Interesting. Now go shut your doors!

I still cannot, for the life of me, sleep with my closet door open. Quit laughing.

I have a couple of those strange fears! 1) that when I come home after being gone for a while (20 min. or more) I'm afraid someone is hiding in the bathtub, behind the shower curtain, just waiting for me to go potty! And NO, I never watched Psycho! and 2) when we've been out of town, just as we turn into our neighborhood, I'm afraid we'll get home and our house will be burned down or destroyed. Don't know where that one comes from! Becky G.’s last blog post..Changes . . .

Regan — You’re right. Little things do add up quick, but don’t even worry about the finals. You’ll do just fine. Now, stepping on a bee? That might happen. Don’t be like your dumb aunt and not wear shoes home from the pool, step on one and then get carried home by a good Samaritan, sobbing the whole time.

Lee — Wisenheimer!

Sherry at EX Marks the Spot — Yes, I have been so corrected. But I’d still like to be the judge of whether your fears are rational or not. Apparently “things lurking in closets” is a pretty popular one here in The Drawer.

Jen — Oh, man. I saw The Happening. The scariest part was when the old lady walks by her window on the porch and then doesn’t she die a horrible death out in a field? Yeah, be nice to the plants.

Document Scanning Services — I shall never know the sounds of forest noise while camping because camping is not on my list of things to do. They don’t have room service in forests.

carol at A Second Cup — Now THAT’S a rational fear if ever there was one. Do you do that whole “grab the door handle” thing? Or how ’bout punching the floor with your foot when you want them to slow down? Might I suggest some Zanax before your next drive?

Maureen — We are Sisters of the Bizarre. Just so you know, I feel the same way when I visit your blog (it’s a good thing. Makes me feel better.)

Tracy — OMG. Ew. Just thinking about that makes my skin crawl. I hate crickets because they can, you know, jump on your FACE! I once freaked out big time when I brought the vacuum cleaner in from the garage, where it had been used the day before and sat overnight. A cricket scooted out of it and all hell broke loose. Made the hubs find it and get it out of the house. Haven’t been right since.

cardiogirl — Oh great. Now I’ll be thinking about it. Of course, it’ll make for fast work in the bathroom. Get in – get out!

Geakz — Dude! Where’ve you been? Pasted-on faces is actually a fun idea. Don’t tempt me. There shall be no Creeping Charlie. Those are the kind that sneak up on you and strangle you, right? Never fear. Your patented five-point commenting system is not only welcome, it’s required. Good to see you!

Preston — Yes, I expect we’ll be tying them to the patio pole you see in the picture. Of course, we’ll have to be careful the string isn’t so tight it’ll behead them. {tucks idea away for future reference}. I’m heading over now to check out your contest.

Shieldmaiden96 — That’s so weird. Seems a lot of people have that fear, which is really a fear of the unknown. My advice? Don’t let vampire dudes in your house.

Jay — That’s really interesting. I’d think chemicals would be fairly innocuous, but I suppose if you’ve had a bad experience, fears will develop. Hate fly zappers myself. The sound!! Of death!!!

shadowsrider — Nothing stands in the way of a woman and her ice cream. Great story!

Unfinished Rambler — Actually, they’re going well. Next week, we try to get me past my fear of cottage cheese.

So I take it your counseling sessions aren’t going very well?

I’m with SewDucky. I’m terrified of poisons and chemicals. I’m not sure why, except I’ve seen too many poisoned animals die (I was an animal nurse some decades ago). Now, I won’t even use flea killer on my dogs. I use Program and Capstar instead. And we have an ultra-violet fly zapper … but I’m afraid of that, too. Pathetic, huh?

I don't like walking past darkened rooms. Darkened rooms should have SHUT DOORS. Why? The movie Salem's Lot. And the character actor dude who was all vampirized and was sitting in a rocker in a dark room creeeaking that rocker and all you could see was his eyes shining in the dark. I saw this movie when I was 12. All of my other fears are totally and completely rational. Shieldmaiden96’s last blog post..The Time of My Life

My daughter planted sunflowers in front of our house last year and they were very pretty. But you'll need something to tie them to when they get real tall or they fall over. As far as irrational fears, I can't sleep with the bedroom door open. Nope. Freaks me out. BTW, have you entered my contest?
