I am not terribly fond of clowns, either, but it's not full coulrophobia since it has to be a specific type of clown, the evil kind, that makes me nervous. So, I guess it's not technically a phobia.

I do have a real issue with crawl spaces that are tight, logically knowing that I would fit into one should the need arise, but it creating an issue all the same. I don't have a fear of other confined spaces at all, nor do I forsee any reason for me to venture into a crawl space at any point in the future since I do not own a house with a crawl space, nor does anyone I know. Mind you, I am not going to rush out and find a crawl space in which to practice, since I can live a full life with that phobia.

A coworker at my dealership is afraid of birds. One day we had the parts dept. gate open and a little sparrow flew in, he saw fly in and he jumped clear over the parts counter, head first like in the movies, did a 180 on the floor, got up and left running like a bat out of hell to the service bays. That was hillarious.

Wasps, yellow jackets, any flying thing with a stinger that isn't a Bumble.
Give me spiders, snakes and mice over these things any day!

Most definitely snakes for me. Not sure why. Maybe because I grew up in Alaska and we don't have any there. Haven't seen any in southern California in the 2 years I've been here, however I know they are around. I assume I may see some when I move to Dallas in the future. Guess I will just have to figure out a way to deal!

All clowns are evil, they are set to feast on your bones. While I can handle the Disney characters, I am pretty sure I can't handle clowns.

LOL Believe it or not when I use to smoke, I'd have to get someone else to light my cigs. And yes, I do realize the irony in having pyrophobia and being a smoker. When I was younger I always thought it would've been hilarious if I ended up dating a pyromaniac.
