Name 5 Things that Scare You

[Hepcat]

Have you seen the Australian horror flick 'Black Water'? Best Alligator movie ever (besides the 70's movie Alligator). If you haven't seen it, I suspect you'll enjoy it alot.  That damn evil alligator!!

If the movie was Australian, it probably featured a saltwater crocodile and not an alligator.

1) Losing my collection to fire, or natural disaster.

Yes. That's the worst for me!

I think that losing beloved collections, loved ones, pets .. etc .. to a natural disaster, flood, fire or act of violence is more than likely on everyone's list but it's something that I don't like to think about ..

If the movie was Australian, it probably featured a saltwater crocodile and not an alligator.

Yes - it was a BIG salt water crocodile that had taken up residence in a mangrove-type swamp.  I watched Black Water twice - once, by myself and then again, with my wife & daughter.  Very suspenseful & realistic.

Losing my collection to fire, or natural disaster.

   

  This one qualifies for the End of the World thread.

Neighbors  and/or their children destroying my garden
Locking a neighbor's cat or kid in the garage by accident.
Some crazy hurting animals.
People who accost people from their balcony.
Bigots.

Crazy old ladies.

regarding- BEARS! 
I had never thought about encountering a bear before, nor had my unfortunate brother. He lives in the Florida panhandle in a semi-rural area. One morning on his way into work, he hit a large bear crossing the main road, and totaled his car. My brother was unhurt, but felt so bad for the bear- which had shaken off the collision and walked back into the woods. He never saw any more bears after the incident, and always wondered the bear's fate....
So in conclusion: Bears are pretty scary! They can total your car & walk away!

Alzheimer's  (I saw my mother go from it)
Tornados  (I was terrified by the tornado scene in THE WIZARD OF OZ)
Wildfires ( I went through the "Witch Creek" fire in San Diego, 2007)
Worms, caterpillars and grubs (No explanation necessary)
Religious and Political Extremists  (My Doctor had his Office vandalized by them)

Religious and Political Extremists ... scare me too.

[Paladin]

IMO no one cares for the political extremists, whether from the extreme left or extreme right.

[Mike Scott]

IMO no one cares for the political extremists,

They should be forced to bungee jump, or ride a skateboard, or something. EXTREME POLITICS!!!!

[Flower]

Nothing wrong with skateboards  .. 

I am scared of Bungee Jumping .. would be a good punishment ..

Earthquakes, including the terrifying one I experienced in CA in 1989.
'Hard to believe how much noise they make.
A friend watched very fast ripples in the ground under his orchard race straight towards his home, beneath it and past it.

Carjacking -  since I love my red convertible sports car. But these days I always carry police strength bear spray, which can disable a person for 30 minutes.

Fear of dying in a jet or airplane. I love the takeoff and landing parts, but at cruising altitude I get a terrible headache. Just don't want to die that way - screaming on a plane that is about to crash.
Loved the Snakes on a Plane movie, though!
