I'd of been out there even quicker if it had been an Ostrich. I get twitchy around pigeons.

Big Bird was creepy as fearsome tweak. Although I wasn't scared of him/her/it.

I'm not necessarily scared of dogs but I guess I am just not used to them. My friend adopts a bunch of abused/disabled dogs and they are super protective of her family...around them its like I have never seen a dog before. Granted they bark drool and sneeze all over you...and they're huge.

Looks like the swear filter has taken to puns since I left.

I have to say, the swear filter there was just hilarious and extremely appropriate
Regarding dogs, I don't like big dogs, but I'm not scared of them. If one came near me, I wouldn't mind it, but I wouldn't be too happy about it.

i'm terrified of dogs. If I hear one bark and i haven't seen it before I will panic and just run in a random direction.
I can control it reasonably well if I can see them though i do get all nervous

I wish I lived in England so I could make my dog chase you round the neighborhood

over the last few weeks i've had a few nightmares involving dogs where I ended up fighting them.
but they thought we were just play wrestling and there were enjoying it. and their goofy smiles freaked me out even more.

I don't really know how to define it but I think I have a phobia of Rapid Motion, be it in any form. Whenever there's sudden, jerky motion, I start to all panic up, even though I know its safe (easiest example, on rides with a safety harness). Dunno why, and hate it too... makes me sit out on most of the rides when my friends are up there! Also, while driving, some of the craziest overtakes freak me out (when I'm not driving and sitting alongside! :P) but I don't think I can ever drive crazily like that... fast I can go, quite fast, but not drive that way when the car changes its direction completely in a split second.
Also recently (like 3-4 months) I've been afraid / have a phobia of fainting. Yeah that's right, weird, but true. Whenever I used to feel a certain symptom relating to fainting or something, I used to panic, and then actually started feeling more symptoms (read: Panic attacks). Made life hell for a while believe me, couldn't consider myself worth for doing any responsible thing. Thankfully been fighting it for a while and its getting much better to control myself now!

Guess I'll admit mine,
any sudden loud noises really throw me off. If it's loud and sharp enough my heart rate increases and I get uneasy and I might be startled or jump but it's nothing that would ever compromise my ability to conduct myself in public.

I used to continually have these nightmares involving dog attacks until a few years back. I still have them but not that often. Weird thing is I used to feel the pain when any of the dog bit me in the nightmare

I read it in a book I got from my school library and it was also published in a newspaper some years back.

Enjoying reading this thread haha.
No big phobia's really, apart from spiders. Getting better and don't mind small spiders but big spiders just freak me out and I have to look away. Even thinking about big spiders makes me shiver.
Not really scared of heights, much more just scared of falling from heights, so I don't mind planes or anything but just up high when I look down, I get scared that I might fall.
And big dogs, although I'm not scared of them, I really dislike them and hate dogs that jump. The funny thing is that I haven't had any bad experiences with dogs (apart from jumping up on me) but I've had a cat scratch my face completely so it was covered in bloody but I like cats, haha.
