Leaving the windows open downstairs while I quickly pop to the loo…incase a serial killer manages to climb in, unnoticed, and hide in the spare room/utility/attic but I try not to think about the last one

Someone opening the door while I'm on a public toilet. I always give it a little push/pull to check it's locked even though I just locked it

You‘ve got to sit there, thighs gripping the toilet while you stretch your arms out and hold the door firmly shut all the while actually trying to have a pee

After an episode of Don’t forget your toothbrush which was hosted by Chris Evans (years ago). They planted a hidden camera on the back of a girls toilet for a week and played some footage back to her. I thought about it every single time I sat on the loo for about 3 years after. Checking for cameras

Pigeons for me. I once saw a pigeon fly over a woman's head and its feet got caught in her bun and was flapping all over the place. It was like a horror film.

I’m sorry but I would’ve died laughing if I witnessed that

Would’ve been a different story tho if I was the woman.

Another one for me: moths. I’m terrified of them ever since one got stuck to the back of my jumper when I was about 6 or 7 and my mum locked me out of the house screaming. Traumatised!

You're brave for even attempting it I've worn glasses for over 25 years and it's bad enough having an optician look into my eyes

old age.

i suppose it’s irrational because it’s an inevitable thing that happens to all of us but the thought of being in my 80s/90s and onwards gives me the absolute fear

Same as me...I can't have any windows/doors open at night time during the summer with fear that they'll come fluttering in.
I'm pretty much the same with butterflies, I just can't do unpredictable movement.

Another thing, is turbulence. Flying is not the issue. I know the plane is safe. I actually enjoy flying (in smooth conditions) I'm ok with all that...but I fear turbulence. It's unpredictable and there's something about being chucked about at 38000ft that is unnerving.

Attick doors, wherever we have lived I've always made my husband put bolts and padlocks on the outside of the door. Christ knows what lives up there

It was a childhood fear, but if I didn’t have the sheets pulled up quite high, “the witches would get my ears”.

I still have ears, thankfully - so I must have been thorough with the sheet arrangement. Not sure where the idea came from, though!

I used to near on suffocate myself sleeping with the blanket tightly over my head, with the smallest area to breathe out of, cos I was so scared of ghosts!.

A rat biting my arse or my coojie while I'm on the toilet.

Have seen too many stories about people finding rats in their toilet and I'm shit scared of them anyway!

Being suddenly screamed/shouted at - but I think that comes from childhood trauma.
Leaving windows open at night or when leaving the house
Heavy rain, wind, bad weather in general.
skin, fingers, toes, legs, arms being chopped or sliced off.
whales, sharks, anything big under water, ship wrecks, plane wrecks, submarines, etc.
Spiders or bugs crawling out from plug holes..

I'm a bit of a scaredy-cat who could sit here and list all day lol..

I wake up in the night to check my partner is still breathing, I have a fear of him dying next to me and I can’t save him.
He thinks it’s super weird that I always think about him dying.

house subsidence

someone in work’s house had huge issues just as i was buying mine (after taking up a huge oak tree in their garden without properly preparing) and i still find myself staring at tiny cracks in my wall or ceiling like: is this it?

also any kind of water damage or leakage. again based on horror stories overheard in work, mainly from when someone’s bath fell through their ceiling. and actually ceiling collapse in general.

(in short: i spend a lot of time staring at my living room ceiling )
