A spider picture on the other side prompted this thought.

I don't like spiders of the non-web weaving variety.
I have a healthy respect for snakes.
I don't want bugs on me.
I have mild vertigo but I can overcome it with continued exposure (When I'm on the 28th floor of a hotel the first hour or two is spent slowly working my way over to the window in small increments, but once I do get there I'm fine).
The closest thing I have to an actual "phobia", i.e. an irrational and unfounded fear with no logical explanation and an uncontrollable visceral reaction is black water: I don't want to be anywhere near it or even look at it, even in relatively small quantities. At the back of the paint booth at Coca-Cola was a water tank maybe 3' by 2' by 10' long that was a catch basin for a waterfall used to remove paint spray from the air and I hated having to go near that thing when it wasn't running.

Needles, they trigger vasovagal syncope in me. I literally fainted in the theater watching Pulp Fiction back in the day.

Heights. I could get up to about 8' off the ground climbing a tree while my brother would climb to the top and hang out there for hours to avoid my parents. They cut down those trees the following season.

None really to speak of. I'm not crazy about spiders, but I don't have a phobia of them. My son, who is afraid of spiders and bugs of all sorts, is not afraid of daddy longleg spiders.
Snakes - I like them if they're non-poisonous. Not fond of roaches, but am not afraid of them. Not at all afraid of heights.

My fear is announcing my personal fears in an online forum so they might be used against me.

I said bugs, but most anything creepy crawly. I watch too many bad Sy Fy movies where you never turn away from anything dead, cuz they are never really dead, they just get pissed and call their friends.
Maybe I should include ticks, as I had lyme disease 2 years ago, without even knowing I got bit. No tell tale signs, even my doctor saw nothing, the blood test revealed lyme

Height. Didn't bother me as a kid but it seems to have gotten worse as I age.
Tall buildings are OK but I could never live in a high rise with a balcony.
