What are you most afraid of?

[ImJustKCClone]

Ahh. You kids these days. You go smoke that drunk cigarette. Smoke the **** out of her!

Regarding the "smoking a drunk cigarette"; I don't think it means what all y'all think it means. Realistically, if it means this ^^^, his girlfriend wouldn't be mad, she'd be gone, IMO.
As a former smoker, I knew plenty of people who only smoked when they were in bars and/or drunk (because they would always bum "just one" from me).
I took it to mean his gf would kill him if she caught him smoking...

@srjclone Who's right?

I'm so afraid of heights that I can't even watch someone high up, even on TV. My feet start tingling and not in a pleasant way. I have to look away.

What terrifies me -- really keeps me up at night -- is the fear of spam bots taking over our beloved CF!




I only hope I never live to see the day.

Many of my have been mentioned bugs, snakes, heights, clowns but one that gets me the most is fear of the dark.

As most have also said my serious one is losing a close family member. I was born in 80 and lost grandfathers in 83 and 88. Had a good streak going till I lost my grandmother in 2012. In the last week 2 of my high school classmates lost parents. Most in our class are around 38 and is too young to lose a parent. Kind of hoping something unexpected happens to me before them because I'm not sure I will be able to handle it.

My parents were in their forties when I was born, so I have been orphaned since I was 39. One of my kids wasn’t even born before my parents died. So many times I have wished I could ask them for advice. Husband’s dad died year before mine, so youngest child only ever had one living grandparent, and she is kind of evil.

No matter when your parents die, it is gut wrenching. I try to pass on stories about them to my kids.

That’s a terrible thing to say about your youngest child.

Yes I have. He's originally from the south and had no college affiliation other than Bama before he started going to AIB for his MBA. So he's a pure t-shirt fan and not a Ferentz disciple.

So he doesn’t want to major in agronomy. Whew!

@srjclone Who's right?

Yeah, you're correct. She would kill me if she saw it hahaha

Yes mom, I knew what he was trying to say. I was just giving him some ****.

I have had more than a few friends who were "drunk smokers". It's gross and they always smelled terrible when they came back in the bar. But I'm glad they can't smoke in the bar anymore at least.

We had to give one of my friends a wake up call though. She smoked WAY more than just when she was drinking, but she insisted she only did it when she was drunk.
If you buy your own cigarettes and do so more than once a week then you are a smoker, or an alcoholic who drinks and smokes too much.

Financial insecurity. Most everything I do is driven by the goal to stay "ok" financially.

This is a double edged sword. I do the same. I fear not being able to provide for my wife and (future) family, but I also fear that this fear is ruining my quality of life as all decision are driven by that financial security goal leading to decreased satisfaction/life quality.

I remember when we brought our first kid home from the hospital I was scared to death he was going to stop breathing at night. No idea why. I think it was because they tell you all the horror stories of SIDS and it got to me.

I vividly remember being half asleep and hearing every little pin drop and jumping up and checking on him. Can't say I have ever been as scared or had any real fear greater than those first couple of weeks.

Also never had that issue with our second kid.
