What is your greatest fear???

[nangiggles]

I fear having fear...

I fear snapping one day, waking up and saying "fuck this shit" and just start doing crazy shit (like moving to some weird country and just veggetate forever)

I'll add myself to the heights fear list... It's not my biggest fear, as I have to ignore it once in awhile. But I have an excuse for being afraid of heights: I was ALWAYS afraid of heights and ladders. Then one morning in 1988, two teenage kids were up on the roof of a 2-story house, taking down an antenna. The house exploded, and burst into flames (fire from all the windows at the same time). The blast sent both boys off the edge of the roof. One landed in a ficus tree, and got scraped up. I missed the ficus tree, and landed on the cement (after grabbing for, and missing, the roof of a shed to break the fall). Now if that's not a real reason to be afraid of heights, I don't know what is .

What caused the house to explode?

My fear of dying runs together with confined spaces. No way do I want to be buried. YOU KNOW HOW TIGHT IT IS IN THERE? JEEZ.

Dont ever watch that movie The Descent

Being boring and unoriginal.

So in other words, you've experienced the EXACT thing you're most afraid of, and come out on the other side. What's that like?

I'm scared shitless of heights...I cant even go on rides because they go up high. I went on the CN tower and almost felt like I was going to pass out. When I go onto a high balconymy adrenalin sky rockets.

I can relate. only difference is that said feeling is instigated by excitement rather than fear.

The title alone tells me I'd have to take 2mg of ativan an hour before watching it. lol

What caused the house to explode?

Stupidity. My family was moving out; had sold it but rented back for 30 days because our new house wasn't ready yet. The buyers wanted to come change some things before they moved in, and there was a carpet-like stuff on the kitchen floor that they wanted to take out. The stupidity was that they poured 15 gallons (three Jeep cans) of gasoline into the carpet to dissolve the glue! Since my buddy and I were up on the roof taking down my scanner antenna, I had no idea what was going on in there. The idiots left the pilot light on in the oven (they had put out the ones in the stove burners, but forgot there was also one in the oven above the stove). By the time the fumes rose up to the pilot light, the whole down stairs was full of gasoline vapor. When it went off, it felt like an earthquake, and all the windows blew out at the same time, and it was strong enough that the fire station a mile away felt/heard it, and saw the orange cloud go up . Lucky we were on the roof, or we'd both have been badly burned or killed. The two men who were in the kitchen, actually got blown out of the house through a bay window, and were OK except for cuts, scrapes, and minor burns. The radiant heat set fire to the neighbor's house too, and smashed a dozen car windows and all the front windows in a strip mall across the street. Doesn't seem like it was 22 years ago.
