F1 fanNow you have my attention.
Although the fact that I'm moving to Japan scares me a little. Bigger spiders over there.
I'm not going to go into detail but one of my friends friend went on holiday to somewhere in Asia (I'm not being ignorant or anything I just can't remember the exact country). He went into a public bathroom to do some business... and a spider crawled up beneath him... I'm sure you can make out what I mean from that info alone...
He had to end up getting an operation to remove the thing from him. It traumatised me when I first heard it.

If it went 'up' it must have had serious skills to dodge the obstacles...

Jesus... My girlfriend will be on permanent spider watch when I move to Japan. She hates me killing them and knows that I always end up killing them if they come near me.
I remember in Toronto, a spider not much bigger than a house spider had me cowering at the top of a set of stairs while she picked it up and took it outside.

I was going to say the same, but the reality of it is that I'm scared of a lot of things... Mostly bugs. In the spirit of this thread, I'll reveal the origin of my fear of spiders. Before I get into things, I will state that my dad is a bit of a practical joker...
Anyway, the first time I saw a spider was when I was 3. I ran up the stairs and saw one running around in circles at the top of the stairs. I stood about 1 or 2 steps away from the top, saw the spider and shouted on my dad. My dad came up the stairs, saw it and said "it's just a spider". I asked him to move it, and he picked it up and walked towards the bathroom. I went to my room, but I heard him ask me if it scared me. I said yes. He then said he was going to put it on my face. I ran into my room and closed the door. I then forced myself against the door in a vain attempt to stop him opening the door.
He managed to open the door (obviously), and I ran to the other side of the room. He shouted "catch this Craig" and threw something small and black at me.
I panicked thinking it was the spider. Turned out, my dad, being the practical joker that he is, tore a button off his shirt and threw it at me.

I have a massive fear of snakes...doesn't help I had one in my bedroom when I was little. Apparently it crawled up a heat duct or pipe or something to the water tank that was in the closet in my room, and I moved some stuffed animals, there he was, waiting for me...

After reading some posts in this thread it's stunning at how similar I was with most others in this thread. When we were children we were embarrassingly gullible and fascinatingly imaginative, I this had a great affect on our development of knowledge and intelligence.
I think we can all learn stuff from this. When we grow older we should encourage a child's creativity, try to understand their view of the world. I'm sure you can remember a Grandparent or similar who took time to listen to our stories, and we admired them for taking interest in them. Me can try to be like that, too.

I used to believe that if you have pimples on your face, from anytime there will be worms coming out of it...
When I had it like, 7 years ago, just a couple and I cried, telling my mum I don't want to have worms coming out of my face. She told me ''You idiot there will be nothing coming out of your face!''.. Right, nothing until today. Teehee
I'm scared of worms seriously...

I used to believe I could be sucked down the toilet at night if I flushed so i used to get up, wash my hands, open the door, stretch as far as possible, press the flush and run away
My God! I wasn't the only who did that?! I thought I was odd, yet I would do it during the day too.
If the flush ended while I was in the bathroom I was definitely going down that flush hole!

I'm guilty of this one. I thought that the whiteboard would reveal a Murphy bed at night and my teacher would go to sleep. This stopped around 1st/2nd grade I think.

I thought that teachers had to be competent in the subjects they gave that stopped somewhere around 9.

I used to believe that when cars reached a certain age, they would have to be driven into a workshop, have bodywork done, and come out again looking like an old car.

Every time I watch the Matrix trilogy I have doubts, still!
You actually watch the trilogy? One was great, but two and three were not even worth seeing imo.
