QotD: This Totally Freaks Me Out

Do you have any phobias?

Umm...I don't even know where to begin on this one...

Let's start with the obvious ones first..

1. Cockroaches- Don't laugh...if you ever wanted to see me run screaming like a banshee, this is the way to do it. Now, we're not talking about the little german cockroaches here...we're talking about the big flying swamp roaches.  Just ask my husband..I have threatened to move out of places before after spotting one of these in my house. We are LUCKY enough to only see one in the house maybe once or twice a year..

2. Boats- I can't swim..really..I swim like a freaking rock...straight to the bottom. Naturally someone who can't swim has no business being on a boat..I think we have covered this one enough...and don't even get me started on life jackets...puhleez.

3. Heights- I am scared of heights, I don't even like to stand up on chairs to reach up for things. So at the young age of 18 I thought I would conquer my fear of heights by going skydiving tandem with an instructor. Needless to say that didn't go down too well. The whole way down to the ground strapped to this poor, poor man,  I screamed the entire way down with my eyes closed, peed my pants, and threw up twice(all over my instructor). It was not pretty. And yes, I am still afraid of heights. Although, now I have 2 tandem jumps and 3 solo jumps under my belt, and that incident has not been repeated.
