Default What's Your Phobia?

Do you have a Phobia of any kind?

One of mine is public swimming pools.
Yep, and not because I not a very good swimmer, but because
I get the feeling of entering other people's bath water,
YUCK.

I guess I'm just not a water person.

What's yours?

That's a real shame considering the number of pools we have access to. I do understand that your concern is real.

I watched people go into the Southside Hot Tub when there was brown & white foam on the top and all over the place and it wasn't a bubble bath. It was a mixture of human stew. I kept my mouth shut and never went back. Our friends loved going in that damn hot tub and they were way too smart to listen to advice so I clammed up.

My only Phobias are Snakes which have lessened since we moved to Florida and now I've learned a bit about them. The worst thing for me is Flying, that's an OFFICAL no go. Never for any reason, case closed!

That would be my second phobia and again I can't say why even though I can
get to a faraway place in hours.

Flying is like when I had my Goldwing trike. I loved riding it, but as I got older
and seen the danger in traffic here in Florida, I sold it.

Serious fear of heights. As a very young child we were visiting a popular destination on the side of a small mountain. My cousin slipped, grabbing my hand, and we slide down the side to a rocky area. Took hours to get us back to safety. Now in todays world, there are fences, walls, and no longer a issue, that happened to us.

I can’t stay above 5th floor of a hotel, or drive over a bridge, rock climb, roller coasters, or anything to do with heights. Flying is something I can do, and traveled extensively for work, but I never look out the window, and don’t feel comfortable until plane has reached altitude.

For the most part I am good but I guess my pillow falling on the floor while staying at a hotel.

Bath water? Try a toilet!!! During our Lifestyle stay, our agent took us to Rec pool, it was empty. I looked on the stairs going into the pool and there were 3 TURDS! Guess the depends get loose when wet. There is a silver lining though, they were solid.
