Unusual fears or phobias

Whilst having a chat with some friends the topic of "what are you scared of" came up.

So the usual stuff came out: Spiders, heights, snakes, dying and so on.

Then what did I go and do? I mentioned a fear I 'used to' have when I used to compete in swimming galas. So there I was swimming a length and I spot the drain grating at the bottom of the pool, my imagination goes wild, I imagine a shark coming out of the drain and chasing me. This still happens, I have to close my eyes over them when I swim now!

If you think thats odd, I also have a fear of jacuzees (sp?) but only when the bubbles are on, I have to be able to see the bottom overwise the sharks might get me!

Don't know what it is about sharks, maybe its the mechanical toy shark I used to have in the bath when I was little.

Has anyone else got an irrational fear like me or am I just as odd as my friends thought?

Dead people ...... when I have to search people (at work it's not my sadistic hobby) who have died I have a fear of what they will do. Everytime I go to one I dread the family being there when I have to do it as one day they are gonna do summat I dont expect and I will run a mile screaming.

And they do weird stuff ..... if you dont know already you dont need to know LOL

Creepy, I wouldn't be in the same room. Oh dear may be developing another fear, what if they move?
I don't envy that job, although the holiday sounds good

Scared of not having a bike... scared of many other things I'm not going to say on here..

I'm scared of heights... being 6ft you wouldn't expect that... and I'm scared of the dark..
