Bugs for me. Even though I don't lose sleep over fearing having them crawl on me anymore (found a big one under my pillow as a kid), I still have a mini heart attack every time I see a cockroach here in TV. So gross.

Perhaps the Roundabouts as people do not understand the laws.
.
Very simple in a 4 road roundabout.
Left Turn ... Use the left lane.
Right Turn ... Use the right lane.
Straight ... Use either lane *** To be safer use the right lane. As some Idiot drivers make an illegal left turn from the right lane.

Fear of heights, but only if I'm on something attached to the ground. Airplanes, no problem.

Yep, and not because I not a very good swimmer, but because

YUCK.

I guess I'm just not a water person.

What's yours?

A friend take a couple of "babe-ruth" candy bars when know one was
looking, drop them in the pool.

He had the whole pool to himself.

Carpets in hotel rooms. Yuck! Door handles in public bathrooms, double yuck!! Don’t think it’s a phobia though…

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.
Can’t imagine how you could go through life without traveling over a bridge. ESP with your extensive travel. Must have taken a lot of pre planning

For DW, it is dogs. Savagely attacked as a toddler by the sweet and gentle family dog, she can never trust a dog.
