I don't know why I am scared but I always think they will eat me when I see them (even though I look like a giant to them). Nothing terrifies me as much as spiders do. I can vacuum most insects but I can't even hold a vacuum within a metre of the spider incase it jumps on me and eats me! I guess it's because they run so fast and when they're on you, you have no idea where they are. At least with the snake, I'd know where it is while I run for my life.

My body has suddenly started itching and all this talk of spiders makes me feel as though there is one on me. I feel scared. :tears:
There there princess, stand back while I wave my wand...Riddikulus!! there, theyve turned into little sherriff badges. Now I need to use the spell on those damn snakes....


oh and Ms Thrifty, you sound awesomely casual about your encouters with snake, I wish I can be like that!

Funny you mention HP. I did exactly the same thing during the Chamber of Secrets especially when they get chased by the entire clan in the Forbidden Forest but the snake scenes did not bother me at all. If I ever saw anything as big as Aragog or his cousins, I would die from a heart attack. Literally!

No way, you have got to be joking. I am not happy to be in the same room as a spider, forget catching them!

I have no problems with snakes unless they're poisonous, same goes for spiders. I intensely detest wasps but I'm not exactly afraid of them. I have a problem with enclosed spaces though, and can have a problem with heights. I enjoy abseiling because I can understand my reaction and control it but if I stand on a step ladder and forget about even that little extra height it can do me in. It's not exactly fear so much as a weird dizzy sensation that starts up and then I become afraid of falling.

You sound like Spider Man, the real one...the french guy that climbs the tallest buildings around the world, amazingly he actually suffers from vertigo but just like yourself, uses that fear as extra control, in your case abseiling ;)

Wasps can be a nuisance as I had their sting stuck in my palm once from playing cricket. But the biggest irritation are moths. Are they blind?? They keep literally bumping into me and they look like they dont know where the bloody hell they are going!
