Irrational Fears

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I finished up an application for a grant this morning. As part of the process, I needed to include all transcripts from all institutions I attended. Even though I know what my GPA was, before I opened my copies of the transcripts an irrational fear plagued me. "What if someone changed a grade? What if there was a misprint on my degree?"

Every semester before I would open grades I'd have the same fear and I'd have to psych myself up the way someone does before a set on the bench before opening them.

I also hate clowns and want to kill every clown I see.

What are your most bizarre/irrational fears?

Oh, and before someone gets it in post #2:

I think they are because I got arrested at work once because I let my brother stay with me (was having hard times) and the dumbass brought a bunch of pot in my house and got busted (while I was at work and had absolutely no knowledge of it) and they decided to arrest me two days later because it's my house....I won a suppression hearing and got it thrown out, but now I am a single dad that if something like that happened now, it would really effect my life.

During college I had a dream that I was walking down the grass median of a highway where there was a police standoff. A guy popped up behind the car and shot me in the head with a 12 gauge, blowing the side of my head off Kennedy-style. I remember saying to myself, "Oh my God, I'm going to ****ing die," and then I woke up in tears.

Still freaks me out to this day.

Man made, freefall heights, structures, huge bridges, skyscrapers, being a passenger on a jet you dont control? ugh x 10... i used to work in a grain elevator, every week i'd have to got to the top of of it to sweep up the top room, this room was 15 stories up and the room had this HUGE open doorway in the wall that went straight down, must've been for ventilation... but to this day, i swear i still get queasy and sick even thinking about it up there, its a genuine phobia, i'd literally crawl around to sweep up around that door.

Steep mountain sides, rocky cliffs, natural heights? i'm a champ... standing up high with atleast a chance to save yourself, check... driving a huge, top heavy vehicle up the side of a mountain at night with no road or light, check, getting that vehicle in position to use the backhoe on a terribly steep mountain ridge, digging things up as i stood halfway off the machine, waiting to jump free if it tumbled down the mountain... i'm good.

Just please dont give me a big, straight up, manmade structure.

You are purposely putting off something that you need to do that either you are afraid of or resent or both.

If I was willing to take a polygraph I'd make $50K a year more. I live a pretty vanilla life. But I think about a question like.......... Do you like having sex with barnyard animals and I'd come up a liar.
