Some interesting information, QA. I always found reverse phobia lists much more useful

I'm wary of anything that bites (no matter what size - obviously though, the bigger ones scare me more)  :-[

I don't know why, but I'm getting more and more afraid of elevators.. My mom always thinks I'm nutty when I ask to take the stairs..

And I am afraid of doors locking behind me, like in a public place... I went into a restroom once and freaked out 'cause I couldn't get out, the door was just a flat board.. but it turned out, there was a seperate door to enter and one to leave  ::)

Don't feel bad because I've been terrified of elevators all my life. I get all shaky and nervous if I have to ride in one. I always use the stairs or the escalator if the building has them.

Depends how high and how dangerous. I'm okay at the top of a hill after two hours of walking standing on top looking at the view, but not hanging three feet above the ground by my ankles.

If it is easy for me to fall, yes.  If I am standing at the top of the St. Louis Arch, no.  The area has to be protected or closed for me not to be scared.
