What is the most irrational thing you are afraid of?

The strangest thing that I'm afraid of is going down escalators. I can go up them, but I start getting antsy near the top... The funny thing is that I'm not scared of heights. I just suddenly became terrified of going down escalators in about 2001. My family gets really annoyed with me when I go out of my way to find an elevator, but I can't help it! I just can't seem to bring myself over that top step onto the moving stairs!

What is your most annoying, irrational fear?

    Well, when I was a kid, during the summer I was always scared a toad was going to jump into my shoe, like if there was a gap around the edge. I know, it makes no sense what-so-ever, but it freaked me out. To this day, I cut a wide path around those things.

    I almost lived my worst nightmare several years ago. I was running on the path on a golf course and a toad jumped up and smacked into my leg. I'm surprised I didn't die on the spot.

    I can't stand Clowns, and even worse are vantriliquist dolls. They scare the Crap out of me. Now I am a pretty big dude. 5'10" and I weigh about 220. I work out religously and I played inside linebacker on my football team all the way through college. So I wounldn't consider myself a wimp at all. But clowns, and dolls just freak me out.
