I have a fear that one day after taking a crap the toilet will decide it's had enough and in an act of rebellion explode toilet water and feces all over me and the bathroom. I'll be screaming and trying to flee only to be swept under a torrent of brown water. Terrible.

Another fear is that one day when I'm going to make an omelet and crack an egg a chicken fetus will come out instead of yolk or I'll hardboil an egg and bite into it and feel veins. Yeh.

Also I fear that one day when I'm eating shrimp an enormous insect will somehow have crept in and I'll bite into it without realizing. Or eat a fruit only to find an enormous slug-like parasite nestled within it.

And finally when I turn off the light and go to sleep I'll wake up to find a man vigorously pleasuring himself over my face. It's why I lock the door.
 
I'm afraid I'm going to inhale asbestos at the Polish Lodge.
 
I'm afraid I'm going to fall asleep and wake up to see a Weeping Angel towering over me when I open my eyes.

Last one: seriously?

The second one is actually common street fare in the Philippines, it's called balut. I've never had the gut to try it.
 
I just fear mundanes, because very few of them understand why I've been a science fiction fan and book collector for over 35 years. Actually sharing the hotel with them at a convention can be downright terrifying (although the JWs weren't as bad as the Alberta Liberal party, and I'm sure the Japanese tourist group were moderately entertained/bemused by some of what they saw).

And mundanes totally don't get SCA-folk. :(

Those are just weird. I used to think I was weird, but now I realize I'm normal. :p The last one seems to indicate you are gay, but don't know it yet.

I'm only kidding, don't get all worked up about that.

I don't have unrealistic fears at all. I do have fears that people will laugh at me. And people will say that's unrealistic, but I have had women laugh at me and call me ugly. So yes that is a fear of mine.

I lost a $100 bet on whether I could eat balut. Never even took a bite, just conceded on the spot (but I've won $200 drinking bong water so I'm still ahead)

But you can eat an egg (without knowing it was fertilized or not) and you can eat a chicken, with no qualms at all?

Actually I don't have many qualms either. I've never been confronted with a balut, so how I would react is as yet unknown. My brother (a nutter), though, would (if he hasn't already) chuck it in his mouth and munch away with glee.

They do say it just tastes intensely of chicken.

Anyway, I'm trying to think of what my mundane fears are. I suppose falling off a ladder from above 20 feet would be the most usual, and mundane, one. I very seldom use my ladder.

I used to be, until very recently, rather dog-phobic. But I suddenly stopped being bothered. I recently met a woman out walking a pitbull type dog that was very lively, and jumped about all over me while I petted it. The woman said the dog would probably bite me, but not to worry, it was just excited and being friendly. Previously this would have alarmed me considerably. But I thought it was highly amusing.
 
The idea of getting bitten is highly amusing? :Scratcheshead:
 
mundane fear: sitting on the toilet and running out of toilet paper. freakin' terrifying.
 
I'm afraid that one day I will wake up and realize all the time that I've spent on CFC was utterly useless.:p

It is! Get bitten by a dog and the owner will be all over you with apologies 99% of the time. Highly entertaining.

Of course, I'm not talking about a potentially lethal savaging. Just a playful nip or two.
