"Top 5 Personal Phobias"

Criteria: A phobia is anything that can be defined as an illogical fear. Depending on what source you use, the most common phobias are public speaking, heights, spiders, closed spaces and snakes.
.

Overview: We decided to make personal lists of the things we're most afraid of. Anything can qualify, because the very definition is illogical.

Rob's Notes: Despite my "wiener"-like build, there isn't much I am truly afraid of, but the things I am scared of are really silly and/or really real. I became afraid of crickets as a child because of my oldest sister and never shook it, how stupid is that? I am not claustrophobic at all, but the idea of being in a confined space without being able to move or turn around is terrifying.

Arnie's Notes: I know that bridges are kind of silly, but there is just something about them that makes me really sweat and I hate that. Becoming a cripple would suck because then you can't do anything. And dental work is the most painful thing in the world, I bet that if people were convicted of crimes, and they had to go through some sort of dental work, the crime rate would be way way way down.
