Ah the joys of being an American.

That would be my biggest fear!!

It's not too scary, I promise. Millions of us make it through every day.

When it's all you ever know, lol

Mine would have to be a threat to my kids. I mean I’m not a fan of basements or clowns, but those aren’t real fears. There was a long-ago incident (spoiler alert: he’s fine) where my son turned blue in my arms while we sat on the front steps waiting for an ambulance, and there’s no bargain a parent won’t strike in that situation.

I also don’t like those flying cockroaches. They might be number four on my list.

I cannot imagine what went through your mind right there

Glad everything turned out fine!

I grew up seeing those around my house

When my son had just started crawling, I asked my middle brother to watch him while I went to the bathroom. I had just cleaned up a drawer that had broken and splintered, but missed a piece under the entertainment center. He found it, and I heard my brother go "Sissy! HE'S CHOKING!" I stuck my fingers down his throatand couldn't reach it. I stuck my fingers in there a second time and he puked, and the piece came up. He took a deep breath and the sweetest sound I ever heard was the hoarse cry he let out. The piece wasn't that far down, but his teensy mouth was too small for my fingers. After that, I think he was in my arms for a solid month before I put him down, lol

When my nephew was around three years old, his father put him on the counter while he went for a smoke. When I came into the house, my nephew was on the ground screaming, and the father nowhere to be found. My brother in law never did anything like that again.

That’s so scary, Liz. One of those moments where your heart leaves your body.

My mom tells me I should be a doctor because I take charge in those types on situations. It's automatic. I won't do it though. Cuz of I ever lost a person, it would destroy me.

I could never be a doctor because everything is so slimey and icky

Things are slimy and icky for me anyways and I'm not even a doctor!!

That´s another thing I couldn´t be; a parent!

Have any siblings? Being an uncle is just as bad

Uncledom and fatherhood are both a long, long way off for me, thank god.

Anyway, for me, it's mimes. Mimes freak me out.

You should try being a farmer and a parent...

I'm so squeamish when it comes to surgical tele stuff it's untrue...I was quite fine watching the almost cartoonish dismemberment of Spartacus and 300, but you put on one of them surgery programmes...Urgh...

And yet, the stuff I've had to deal with in RL with cows and whatnot...

Anyways, in case no-one watched that video...My fear is to go out in the morning having told everyone I love them...Awww...Yeah, I know...And then when I get home, there's another bloke here and they don't have a clue who I am...And then I get back to work and the same there...

Absolutely no one remembers me...

I mean, what do you do?... ...

The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world!

We're Pinky and the Brain!

Who was it had the clown fear again?...

Holy crap, that's the same guy who voices Freakazoid! I love Freakazoid!

Poor mr Man

"Oh puppy choild, don't with the mallet hurt again?" ...

Very creepy, but at least they look sad and mime out whatever is on their minds. Clowns are worse with those smiles painted on and you really can't tell what they are thinking - could be planning your murder while they are riding those tiny bicycles around or tumbling in front of you.

Oh, they're. It as bad as what I'm afraid of

Clowns have always creeped me out worse than mimes, but I wouldn't want to be alone in the dark with either one. I'd have my tasers set for more than stun, that is for sure.

I used to be afraid of heights. Then I had my son and felt great about what my body could go through. I was like "I had a kid! I shouldn't be afraid of heights!"

Then the logic of how those two things don't connect came to me,and we're back at square one...

I wouldn't wanna be alone on the dark with a stranger anyway....

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Wait, wait, so what you're saying is that having a child makes you invincible? Fascinating...

*Points to passing doctor*

You there, medical type! Fetch me a womb, immediately!

I'm just sayin'.......

You will instantly become The Mighty Thor/hulk to protect your kids at any and all cost...And you will always come out the other side... ...

As for the heights thing...Surely it's the grounds people should be afraid of...It's not the height that kills you... ...

Yeah, but the ground isn't scary till you get to a height.

Heights means safety. Don´t you ever watch zombies flicks? They can´t climb!

If you've seen resident evil they can....

Damn. I knew someone would mention that and shoot my statement to pieces

They said Daleks couldn't!!!...And then look what happened...

OOooh, anyone got any scary monsters they're terrified of?...

Even if it's just the idea of them, rather than "I'm terrified of prosthetics and make-up"?

Noseybonk scared me stupid when I was a kid...

To be fair, most modern zombies can now climb. Kind of annoying, really, makes my undead hunts a great deal more difficult.

And that's why I mentioned it

I can be a real killjoy sometimes

I'm terrified of ghosts. But like I'll get on a rollercoaster that has a dead-drop, I'm willing to go to a haunted house.
