1. Fish
2. Dogs to a small extent. (If a dog is big enough and I don't know it, I assume that it just wants to kill me.)
I'm also afraid of the water in so far as I have to swim in it. This isn't a phobia simpily because I don't know how to swim and so therefore it would not be unreasonable to be afraid of water that is deep enough that I have to swim in it to survive.
I also have a very very mild fear of dehydration. I say that because I almost always carry at least half of a galleon of water with me any time I am going very far from my house.

Spiders. Any creepy crawlies. --> I suppose this is really a fear of being painfully bitten or fatally poisoned by an eensy little creature that I could not evade.
Being abandoned.
Discovering that I am not really intelligent at all nor worth anything to the people around me.
I would probably be afraid of drowning deep water too but perhaps I haven't come close to actually falling into it so I don't feel such a real sense of fear as for the other ones I've mentioned!
Why is it so many girls are afraid of spiders & bugs.
I don't have a problem with it, but there is seriously a pattern here with girls being afraid of spiders.
Well at least if they somehow invent a way to reproduce without men, women will still need us around to kill spiders for them. Thats what you call job security.

For me it'd depend on the spider. The little neigh-harmless ones that you see scurry away on a wall or something are one thing, black widows are another. Tarantellas even moreso - not that I've ever come across a tarantella, but I have had to kill the other 'large' garden-variety spiders before.
I hate roaches. With a passion. If I see one in the house, I often won't rest and keep a shoe close to me until I know that it's either dead or back outside. Those things drive me up a wall - thankfully we've not really had any this year, possibly due to our cats. Knock on wood.

Is the pain of not knowing, worth the price of saying nothing?
I used to be afraid of spiders, then I had to live with brown recluses for two years... got over that pretty fast.
My biggest fear is approaching new people. Still trying to get over this.
Also have a fear of tight spaces.
And of being trapped (not necessarily tied to tight spaces...)
There's also alot of things that I hate, but don't really fear. I merely try to avoid them when I can. Clowns and crowds are the first things to come to mind.
