None of these are very powerful fears, but whatever.
-Heights. As a kid, I was terrified of heights. Now I'm just mildly terrified of them. I think this is a pretty self-explanatory phobia.
-Bees. I have no issues with most bugs or spiders, but bees and the likes are different. Their sting can be pretty nasty, you know. Whenever I see or hear a bee, I either freeze or attempt to leave as quickly as possible.
-Those alarm gate thingies they have in stores. Whenever I walk through one of them, I'm afraid it'll go off without any reason. I've never stolen anything from a store, so I have no idea where this fear comes from. It's actually pretty funny. When I'm leaving the store, I always think to myself, "Cme on, you can make it out of here... Don't look around too much, that'll surely catch their attention!", even though I haven't done anything wrong.
Phobias Do you have one?

I have minor social anxiety sometimes, and upon occasion my body freaks out but my head remains clear when I'm in a high place and look up, not down, and sometimes my imagination gets the best of me when I'm alone and I feel like there's something lurking that's going to get me, but I can usually calm myself down, and the blankets on my bed have always protected me from said lurking things.
I've not really planned well for a zombie apocolypse, but maybe I should start. 2012 is (roughly) the end of times according to the Mayas, and if the Christian book of Revelations is true, a whole lotta zombies are going to rise from their graves. Possibly reanimated skeletons, too; I'm not entirely sure since the whole thing is totally crazy to begin with, and I can't ask the writer what he meant, and it probably wasn't predicting the actual end of the world and everything else that's been mentioned by lots of people. Yeah, I have my golf club my roommate found and gave to me; I'll be fine for now.

I am painfully arachnophobic. For some reason however, I am able to play with tarantulas. I think its cause they have that extra pair of legs up front. That and they’re real mellow - they just sort of walk around real slow and don’t do anything too creepy.
I have a zombie phobia too. I realize zombies arent “real” but that doesn’t stop me from having irrational fears about them.
I remember when the 2005 tsunami killed all those people just after Christmas. I had just bought and watched Dawn of the Dead (the newer one) the night before. I remember the irrational fear I had - thinking: what if they all came back as zombies? Sure its not very likely, but what if all of a sudden it happened?
I worked myself into a horrible anxiety attack and was forced to watch Dawn of the Dead again with the directors commentary so I could hear about how fake it was and how they were all just actors and so on.
The commentary was hilarious so it worked out in my favor.
Any body else have an irrational fear that makes them think and do retarded stuff?

Please tell me that the coalition is NOT full of people who share your state of mind, I would like to think that our boys and girls think about killing Al Qaeda terrorists and not ZOMBIES.

Coalition Soldier #1: Wait, I see something…
Coalition Soldier #2: Oh no, is it a zombie?
Coalition Soldier #1: Nah, just a brigade of Taliban troops heading this way, do you think they want to join forces against the zombies?

News reporter: …and in other news; the coalition forces and the Taliban are uniting to fight a common enemy, zombies, reports suggest that soldiers on both side are more afraid of zombies then they are of each other…

I think I'm actually more afraid of batshit-insane, sinister soilder-type people than zombies. They have guns, while zombies just shamble, swarm, and eat. While that is pretty terrifying, I'm more afraid of something that has the power of higher logical thinking, but disregards it.
Couldn't you just climb a tree to defend yourself against zombies? Come on, when have you ever heard of zombies climbing trees? They can't do it!* They can barely comprehend basic tool usage! A perch in a tall, sturdy tree + some kind of projectile weaponry and plenty of ammo = You: 1, Zombie Horde: 0.
Wait, are we talking traditional zombies, or rage-infected 28 Days Later zombies? Because if it's the latter, I can't run that fast...
*That's the whole reason Diane survived Shaun of the Dead.

Giant pigs.
10 foot giant pigs.
In the woods.
I'm buying a chainsaw and hiding up a tree.

I'd figure that taking a chainsaw up a tree with you would be a disaster just waiting to happen, kind of like sawing a hole in the floor underneath you.
And I don't know if it's the southerner or the hyper little kid in me, but if that pig were still alive...I'd want to ride it!

Just keep areas where you prepare food clean, and ensure it's cooked properly. It's also not that serious unless you catch Hepetitis A or one of those meatborne bacterias, and if you do get the nasty kind, you're mostly ok as long as you get to a hospital for treatment. That was also one epic thread bump: quoting me from a year ago to ressurect a topic that had been dead for four months.

I don't like heights or roller coasters but i only have two really irrational fears.
1) Needles and shots. I have no idea why.
2) Having my arms immobilized.
I can even think about how stupid these fears are but I can't shake them. How sad.
Clowns give me the creeps but I can tolerate them. I think it's the overtly positive image the exude. It strikes me as "wrong".
And I think I'm the only one who anticipates the zombie uprising with joy. I'm fascinated by them for some reason.
