What phobia/fear do you have?

I have quite a few phobias myself, some of which I have had all my life and others that I realized I had as I got a little older.

I have had a huge fear of spiders and also heights right from being a kid, these are two fears I have never been able to get out of.

The next one is a fear of dying, I never knew that I had this fear until I had kids and I sat one day and I thought about it and it really upset me.
 
I have no real fears, but I do have a couple of phobias - Spiders and Wasps! I don't fear them, but I will go out of my way to get rid of these potential invaders in my home. Deep water - which is a shame in a way, as I wanted to join the Royal Navy when I left school; not exactly a quality they look for in potential recruits, lol. It's not the thought of drowning, I just don't fancy having chunks ripped out of me by those predators of the deep. Other than that, I reckon I'm pretty stable ;)
