Hannahmo says,

Laying down and having hundreds of spiders crawl over me. I've seen way too many movies where it happens to one of the characters.

ba_miracle says,

That I won't even be able to enjoy happiness if I have it again.

Mourningdove says,

A bridge will collapse while I'm driving over it.

SingerSomewhere says,

Someone's going to shoot me in the back of my head if I don't turn it a certain angle.

marymc says,

Shark attack. On land. Don't ask.

ba_miracle says,

Okay there may actually be some rational reasoning for my first choice.

Large end of the world waves. I am as equally concerned sitting on the beach as I am 100 miles inland. Love the beach anyways.

charleey4life says,

That he'll leave me, forever.

Mourningdove says,

Ooo, ba_miracle I did not think of that one, now I have something new to worry about! ; )
Mary, stay away from the aquarium!
Hannah- eww spiders!

Mourningdove says,

Ooo, ba_miracle I did not think of that one, now I have something new to worry about! ; )
Mary, stay away from the aquarium!
Hannah- eww spiders!

ba_miracle says,

Ha! mourningdove, always glad to be of "help".

I used to own a house that sat across the street from the San Andreas Fault and used to joke about how my house was on the "right" side. When that "big one" came I would have top of the cliff ocean-view property.
I wasn't concerned but big waves? ooohhhhhh

DynamicDbytheC says,

They have all come true.

Mourningdove says,

Oh, DDC. They really have. You know my heart breaks for you. ((hug))

TheAngstyPoet says,

Falling downstairs. Having stuff thrown at me.

Wench says,

Snakes in bed. And under the toilet seat. Insane. I know.

Mourningdove says,

Falling through manhole covers, and city street grates.

jl333 says,

My hand accidentally slipping into the garbage disposal while it's running.

maryjane31 says,

There was a big frog in my toilet once and I have yet to recover my sanity!

Mourningdove says,

Omg! Did someone put it in there? Wtf?

maryjane31 says,

It was after a big storm here in Florida and we believe it came thru the pipes. Snakes can come thru as well!!! Suppose I had sat down?? I screamed bloody murder and my husband came running and captured it and threw it outside. We told our neighbors and they told us that it does happen sometimes but just watch. It would not flush down either. Suppose a snake comes up the pipes?

Believe says,

Choking.

Redx3 says,

That I am being followed.

accidentaltourist says,

I worry that those I love will not be safe if I am not there to protect them. I worry that no matter what I do, I will not be able to protect them. And I worry that they'll figure out that I really don't WANT to protect them.

mzejay says,

When I had long hair, I worried that I would slip on an escalator and my hair would get caught. Even with short hair, I'm still not real fond of escalators.

Sagacious says,

That the removalist won't turn up.

Mourningdove says,

Sag- I had to look up removalist. It is not a word I have ever heard in Ohio : )

Sagacious says,

"Removalist" is the word we use to describe those that move peoples' belongings from one place to another. Google informs me it's Aussie slang, which explains all the confused looks I've been getting around here.

JAD says,

That a plane will crash and land on my house. Everytime I hear a plane flying close by it gives me chills.

ba_miracle says,

That I have misused logic to dub all my worries as perfectly rational.





Sagacious, In the states we use the word "Movers" but your "Removalist" has a seriously militant "we mean business" tone to it. Hope they lived up to the name and showed up in good form. Good luck on the move.

TheProsperousArtist says,

That you won't like me.

That the end of the world is coming soon, and it will be painful.

That I am to blame for everything. It's all my fault. Climate change, evil politicians, the economy. In case you've been wondering who to blame, now you know. :-)


Sag, want to trade? :-)

Oh, and the movers not showing up ... that happened to me. Twice. At both ends of the same move.


That I sound like a stupid yobbo Yank to my fellow Aussies, since about ten minutes after I returned here. (At least when I was there, y'all thought I was Canadian.)

TawnyPort says,

Growing old all alone.

ctgoods2 says,

crocodiles and dolphins. Used to be crocodiles and sharks until I found out sharks are afraid of dolphins.

Bobbee says,

That I will be attacked in the shower like in horror movies.

Dhani says,

Aren't all worries 'irrational'? Worrying is a negative emotion that pollutes the mind & soul & body. 33 comments = a lotta worriers...
