yeah... lol engrish I am going to get laughed at. I am affraid that my thumbs might fall. It usually doesn't bother me to the point of paranoia, but sometimes when I am sick and have a fever, or when I am very drunk, I find myself looking at my hands and it really freaks me out. I don't even know what that is called, or if there even is a name for that
How bad? Chairs, tables and step-ladders I can cope with. I draw the line at ladders proper and anything much above ten feet though.
Spiders, and I have actually tried to overcome it. Damn freaky upclose, those jumping ones i'm always coming across.
I'm kinda similar. My fear is proportional to both how high it is AND the chances of me falling. Example, if I'm in an airplane or in an office building, it's no big deal because I'm not going to just slip and fall. Whereas, if I was working on an unfinished roof on a two story house, that makes me very shaky. I even get nervous on the waterslide towers that are 40'+ high but the rush of sliding down the slides are worth it. I'm also pretty claustrophobic.

The waterslides don't bother me but roofing's out. I had a summer job a while back as a safety official in an oil refinery. No idea how high up we were but there were seaguls flying below us, and the floors were wire mesh so you could see through them right down the the ground hundreds of feet below. Didn't bother me though. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Enclosed spaces? Can't get enough of 'em.
This got me thinking. I have a recurring fear - a black daydream - of tripping and hitting my mouth on a kerb. Ultra-painful introduction to an all-soup diet. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I took that photograph a while ago, I have the url to where I hosted it saved... it is nt a jumping spider though, it's a Lycosidae, or "wolf spider", about 4cm long
