Live. Those little bastards are like spiders with weapons.

I sometimes have nightmares about being in a room with those massive snow crabs that are like big enough to crush trashcans but I always find a sweet gun somewhere and go Duke Nukem on that ass.

I'm afraid of being a statistic.

Also scared of driving on a 2 lane highway that is not divided because I am afraid the other moron is going to cross the center line and head on me at 60+.

On two lane highways I ponder the statistics of a car/truck coming at me blowing out a tire at the precise moment we pass, the odds that that particular tire woudl cause them to wreck into me head on, and the odds of surviving.  I've cringed a few times a big semi has gone past really fast.

Pickles.

an old roommate of mine thought it'd be funny to throw a pickle at me.  i punched him in the gut for doing it.  i also could smell pickles on my skin for a week, no matter how much i washed the area.  they are rough ridin' disgusting.

mayo is #2 in disgusting food, i would probably just throw away all those dishes panj.  pretty sure it would ruin the taste of any food that ever came in contact with that dish again.

The odds of a passenger being killed on any one flight are approximately 8 million to one. From PlaneCrashInfo.com:
If a passenger boarded a flight at random, once a day, everyday, it would statistically be over 21,000 years before he or she would be killed.

Babies scare the crap out of me.  I hate putting clothes on my 6 month old.  The other day I was putting his arm through the sleeve of a shirt and when his arm reached the end of the sleeve all of his fingers were bent straight backwards.  I was like crap I just mumped up my kids hand but he was fine.  I worry that I'm gonna dislocate an arm or leg on the little guy and everyone will think I'm a bad dad.    :cry: :ohno:

Same.  There's a group that comes around work every week (shoudl be here today) selling candy and now I buy every week.  Not one has attacked me for no apparent reason yet so that's good.

I am afraid when a baby is laying on the couch next to me they are going to roll off onto the floor. Happened once 14 years ago.

Relax.   They don't remember much that happens before 4 yrs old.  If you do end up messing up your kids arm or fingers, just tell them they were born that way and that plenty of ppl are born with challenges they must overcome.

Doing my taxes.  At random times throughout the year, I'll have anxiety about the fact that I'll soon have to be busting my brain trying to figure out how to do my taxes again.

kids have incredibly stretchy tendons and cartilage.  Should be fine.  Just be a little wary about swinging them by their arms.

The only thing keeping you from grabbing any kid and swinging them by their arms is you.

yesterday right after takeoff the engines suddenly dropped their noise level by about half, in a really unusual way, and everybody looked around with terrified looks on their faces for about 1.5 seconds but everything was fine. my heart was pounding.

the pilot just decided to ease back on the throttle in a super dramatic and horrifying why while the nose of the plane was still about 30 degrees above horizontal. i immediately thought of that cargo 747  :frown:

Kat kid is spot on here. When I put my daughter on my shoulders I always freak out that I'll drop her and put her down real quick.

I am absolutely terrified of having my back turned to heights.  I can stand on an observation deck and lean out, Ferris Bueller style, but I have to walk backwards away from the window.  One of my worst nightmare is being tied to a chair that is leaning back, but cemented in on the edge of a skyscraper like so

This was especially terrifying in the dream I had last night about being in a shitty canopy hammock over the grand canyon and feeling like the side by my head would release first, leaving me to try and save myself by catching something with my feet.

Holy rough ridin' crap.
