Ghen @ Aug 5th 2008 11:00PM

I'm afraid of being one of those assholes who replies to the first post in a vague attempt at posting 1.3 seconds faster than scrolling down manually.

ProZach @ Aug 9th 2008 11:29AM

Afraid of "the Ring" that movie freaked me out!

Garrison Parker @ Aug 5th 2008 9:10AM

It's sad to say, but I am afraid of heights.

Holden @ Aug 5th 2008 9:11AM

First! (That I means I win no matter what, be it prize-receiving or not)

The whole concept of lifespan is totally frightening - I don't mean to impress my own jibblies on anybody, but it's like we're all playing a huge game of Mario. That ticker is just slowly counting down... Stop to grab a coin, miss a brick and take that second jump, spend a few extra moments to make sure you stomp that goomba... Every little stop is a slight drain on that little counter.
Until eventually, it's over - and you're left with just two lives, and no idea why.

RobinEivets @ Aug 9th 2008 3:50PM

That's my new motto on life, thank you.

Zero-K @ Aug 5th 2008 9:13AM

Like most, I'm afraid of heights.

BrothaMann @ Aug 5th 2008 9:14AM

zombies.
my wife.
my wife as a zombie...AHHH!

Chris @ Aug 5th 2008 9:17AM

Central Park is pretty scary, especially with the unfunny hobo comedians.

Redd Starrs @ Aug 9th 2008 10:57AM

maybe if you live in the movie "the warriors"- outside of that, these days central park is genteel and places like the great lawn are full of families. and not just families of were-people, there's also a vampyre veranda and a shed near which all of the creepy shinola-sniffing huffbots like to chillax.

Brandisis @ Aug 5th 2008 9:17AM

I most afraid of my my Nintendo Wii breaking and having to blow in the disc slot.

msw @ Aug 5th 2008 9:18AM

I'm afraid I've lost like all my game manuals...

Swampgirl Inez @ Aug 5th 2008 9:18AM

Being alone in the dark. Seriously.

c4jones2 @ Aug 5th 2008 9:18AM

I'm afraid of my wii being stolen and/or stop working.

mattvolpi @ Aug 5th 2008 9:21AM

spiders, eek!

s.mario @ Aug 5th 2008 9:21AM

Accidentally going to jail....

yeah, i said it was an accident, i'll kill anyone who tries to say otherwise!!!

Ian @ Aug 5th 2008 9:22AM

Cockroaches.. it's strange. All other bugs don't, uh, bug me in the least. But man, cucarachas are teh nasty. Living in Japan for a year, I saw them all the time, including in my apartment. Nothing worse than waking up and seeing one crawling up the wall mere inches from your face.

Other than that? I only fear growing old, and not accomplishing all my dreams and goals.

chad @ Aug 5th 2008 9:22AM

let's play global thermonuclear war

sn1per @ Aug 5th 2008 9:22AM

I'm afraid one day the internet will just break somehow, and I'll have to live without it for the rest of my life.

InTheMethod @ Aug 5th 2008 9:25AM

I'm afraid of not winning - because that is bad.

On a more serious note, whales really freak me out!

Garu @ Aug 5th 2008 9:26AM

There's this guy at my office and every time he sees me going towards the men's room he makes a comment to me that I'm going to the bathroom. That's pretty scary!

samfish @ Aug 5th 2008 9:26AM

being alone.

Adam @ Aug 5th 2008 9:28AM

Dark basements.

Marik @ Aug 5th 2008 9:29AM

Maybe I'm just crazy but my sister's pokemon silver game save just died because the battery got too old, and now I'm afraid I'm going to load up my n64 games and have 3 blank save files staring back at me.

phlyingpenguin @ Aug 5th 2008 9:30AM

I'm afraid of not winning this contest.

Dave T @ Aug 5th 2008 9:30AM

Afraid of the uncertainty of entering once or once per day - it doesn't say!

BgRdDg @ Aug 5th 2008 9:30AM

Snakes. You can step on spiders and turn on lights, but snakes (make shuddering noise).

Jimmy @ Aug 5th 2008 9:32AM

afraid of nothing

ArcAngelMD @ Aug 5th 2008 9:34AM

I'm afraid of babies. My wife having one!

Mike @ Aug 5th 2008 9:34AM

I'm afraid of lawyers.

Waffala @ Aug 5th 2008 9:35AM

I have an irrational fear of abandonment, I've never been abandoned, as far as I know, but I always end up worrying when people aren't around that I'm never going to see them again.

meist3r @ Aug 5th 2008 9:40AM

I'm glad I live in Europe so I can write this and there is not the slightest chance that I would have to play this craptacular game.

sisyphus @ Aug 5th 2008 9:40AM

I'm afraid of not winning this game.

Gemski @ Aug 5th 2008 9:41AM

Snakes on Planes!

Evil Bastard @ Aug 5th 2008 9:42AM

I am afraid of Zombies.

Gemski @ Aug 5th 2008 9:42AM

Snakes

3uster @ Aug 5th 2008 9:45AM

After a close encounter with a bird during my childhood, I've been deathly afraid of them ever since. It's the small ones that are plotting something against me!
