Spiders, big small any of them, nearly set house on fire trying to kill one with surefire
 
Dentists! I was once in the chair after suffering for weeks with a tooth that needed to come out. They injected me several times and at that point I decided sod this and did a bunk as fast as I could! Is total terror for me.

Oh, and fat women scare me too.
 
Hefting solar panels and 150ltr cylinders off a ladder onto a high roof in 40deg C temperatures.
The bonus was always the ice cold Keo at €2 a pint though.
 
Cows. I have major moophobia.

So how ironic is it that I live in the middle of the countryside!
 
Fear if invoices not being payed. The mrs asking me to help round the house and those "relationship chats"
 
Not a fan of spiders. But they are easily moved or hoovered up. My main fear is dogs. I can't stand the bloody things. I don't know why anyone would want one in their home.

Ive walked form plenty of jobs because the customer/tenant wouldn't keep the dog out my way. I won't go near them, and some people treat them like part of the family.

Having a fear of dogs is an awkward one in this job. In every home I go into with a dog they always say 'dont worry, he'll just jump up you a bit then leave you alone' it annoys the hell out of me. I always reply 'if it jumps up me, my tools will be back on the van and so will I'

i don't think people really understand being frightened if dogs.
 
Flying for me, hate it

Flying used to one of mine. As a kid, I was fine with it. For about 10 years I didn't have any reason to fly, then in my 20's realised that it scared the cr@p out of me, so I avoided it.

Then in my 30s I had to make several trips to South Africa. On the first one I must have drunk the entire stock of miniatures. After a while, I just got used to it, and am OK again now. I wouldn't say I look forward to it, but I wouldnt go out of my way to avoid it.
 
Mine is general anaesthetic,I will not get put to sleep!
The 2 ops ive had on my knee/broken ankle were both done with an epidural and i watched both!!
