What are you afraid of?

What are you phobias?  Anything silly?  ;)

I have a deathly fear of Toads, I mean I am terrified and cannot look at one or walk past one without nearly have hysterics.  Don't know why!  There was one on my porch last night after I got clothes off the clothesline and I was
too afraid to walk back in the house!  DH found me out there crying and shaking....

Made me wonder what other people are afraid of....????

Hubby is terrified of spiders..will call me to kill them..hehe
I for some reason have always liked to LOOK at them..always..I would go into the woods..find the weirdest ones with little horns on their heads/backs..and all different colores..and I'd get them inside jars and go home and try to identify them and such..
What a weirdo kid..haha  (including black widows..)  I was a very deprived child I think looking back..if this was a past time.  
I had a neighbor kid I used to babysit..he was TERRIFIED of driving in the car going over a bridge..if there was any type of water underneath..he would scream and cry.  (a small stream would do it.)  He was 4..don't know how he could have that phobia so young!
Me..I'm afraid of death..I think about my family and I believe I would just be destroyed if/when something happens to one of them.  My parents are elderly so I think about this ALL THE TIME.

Snakes.  My cat brought a live one in the house and I was on the bed screaming.  My kids came in and died laughing.  My daughter picked it up, played with it a while and let it go.  She likes them.  UGGGG.  I don't watch snake movies because I'll dream of them,
