Other What's your strange fears?

I have a fear of spiders.
Outside of fear I understand they are just living their life as they're programmed to.

Still, any time I happen to see one in the house or in my immediate area I do anything between freezing with my eyes glued to it to jumping up with a little shriek. When I regain the ability to move, it's only to end their life subscriptions, because only then do I feel safe from a spider. I apologize to all the spiders as I understand they are probably no more dangerous than other crawling little creatures, but I will likely keep removing them from existence should they find themselves in my sight. Please remain outside my domicile for your (spider's) personal safety.
 
Escalators and high ceilings.
 
Sometimes when I see a sharp object (a sewing needle, knife, fork, et cetera) I have these scary daydream type of moments where I imagine the sharp thing somehow ending up in my eye. I hate these thoughts so much. I haven't been having them recently, though, so that's good.
 
There's been times in my life when I avoided certain aisles at the hardware store because I'd get intrusive thoughts about getting hurt by the tools in improbable and horrifying ways. I haven't had trouble with it lately, luckily.

My most common recurring nightmare theme is having a whole lot of pets that I'm failing to take care of, and the number of pets keeps increasing - either somebody's having babies or I just keep finding more that I hadn't known were there.
 
Gravity suddenly disappearing and then being thrown into space at break-neck pace. I have OCD. Obsessing over ridiculous scenarios like this just comes with the territory.
 
That's another one: I have dream sometimes where I've forgotten to feed my (now passed away) pet fish for like a week, and I always feel so bad. I probably had for gotten to feed them for a day or something, along with turning their tank light on in the morning. I'm sure that's where these dreams stem from.
 
I'm not sure if this is "weird" per say, but sinkholes. They're genuinely terrifying and could >theoretically< pop up anywhere at any time without warning. We know so little of them and I still think about the number of people who have fallen in them to never be heard from again. To be swallowed by an abyss seemingly at random really freaks me out.
 
Strangers walking behind me. Thinking about it in theory is fine, but when it actually happens in real like it spikes my blood pressure and I tend to get sweaty. Fun times.
 
Fear of the next day to come.
I don't know.
Maybe that's why I have insomnia.
Smiles.
