Big fat juicy bugs, spiders, crickets. Sticking my hands in gardening gloves, because random bugs may be hiding inside. Afraid spiders may be in the toilet under the seat and will crawl on my ass shown I sit down. Like @addysmama22 I'm afraid to dangle my legs over the bed. Like khopec having my back to the closet when the lights are off.
One more. The open stairs on my parents deck. I was afraid that someone was hiding under them and that they would grab my ankles causing me to fall forward and split my face open.

acarpediem I had a Bloody Mary fear for years after reading about it in one of those Scary Stories books. I refused to look at a mirror in the dark. I was afraid that if I even thought about Bloody Mary too hard she'd show up. I finally forced myself to get over this fear about ten years ago.
I hate flying insects because they always fly at my face/eyes. Bleh! Stay away!

Using the bathroom at night....which let me tell you, was not the best thing when I was pregnant. And big white churches. Especially with triangle structures. I don't know what it is but if a church is painted white and we drive past it I get the creeps

I've always been scared of aliens since seeing ET as a kid and the scene when he's about to die and does that scream thing. Just thinking of it freaks me out. Ever since anything alien related freaks me out.
I'm scared of the dark or not being able to see my surroundings because of fog or something

The flying bugs fear =/= irrational. When I was a kid I was racing son of my friends and I was running really fast and we were all shouting to each other so I had my big mouth wide open. A June bug flew directly down my throat and I gagged, struggled to breathe and started freaking the fuck out. Then I threw it up. It was still alive.

I am afraid of being in water where I cannot see the bottom.
Crickets. Most bugs creep me out, but crickets are out to get me (just like those fucking birds).
The dark.
I leave for work around 530am and usually its pitch black out. EVERY DAY I envision someone hiding and waiting for me to come out and get in my car and they will grab/hurt me. I seriously sprint from my house to the car. I am so paranoid it's pathetic lol.
Public speaking. During speech class in college I would take shots before I walked into class because it was the only way to help my nerves.
Heights. I used to love roller coasters now if I go on them I have to sit in a certain seat so I have a better chance of not falling out.
I'm afraid of bees/wasps/any flying/stinging insect. Like, run away and screaming afraid. My brother accidently reached into a ground beehive when we were little. He pulled his hand out and it was entirely covered with bees. He got stung 50+ times and I have been totally traumatized ever since.
Growing up I saw a news story where there was a snake in a toilet. It had slithered through the pipes to get there. I have been freaked out to use a toilet in the dark since.
Ahhhhh YES!!! I had reoccurring nightmares as a child of one of those little creapy boy ventriloquist dolls that sat on my shelf and came to life and tried to kill me. These stupid dolls always seem to pop up in the most random TV shows and freak me out!

Scarred for life.
Actually, when I was a kid I was swinging on our swing set in the back yard and I housefly flew into my mouth and down my throat. I coughed it up but it took a lot of effort and was totally gross. I forgot about that but I bet it's the source of that fear.
Spiders and grasshoppers, I REALLY hate grasshoppers, they have such sticky gross feet! they get stuck to you. ick!
Quick sand! for real, when we were kids we ALWAYS talked about it, and you NEVER actually see it. but the fear is real. I saw a meme once.. let me try to find it. summed up my life!
In the summer we get a crazy amount of grass hoppers outside. They are literally everywhere and constantly jump into you. They are quite big too. They don't bother me but it's a nightmare if you don't like grasshoppers or flying insects. My dogs think they are fun.

I'm claustrophobic. I really hate elevators and take the stairs as much as possible. I have a huge fear of being stuck. So revolving doors scare me too. Bathrooms in an air plane - just about the worst. Serious claustrophobia right here.
Also I'm laying in bed in the dark thanks to everyone bringing out irrational fears I am too afraid to get up and go to the bathroom. The closet door is open.
