I went to rock climbing with my friends one day, just being high up there got rid of it.

You might be okay. http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/02/16...ent/index.html I'm not a good swimmer at all. So being stuck in the ocean would be awful for me.

Dying while surfing styleforum. WTFux.

Like, casually surfing the steeziness of it all, and a goat flys through my window and kills me.

There are a lot of awful things that could happen but only a couple I can remember since a very early age. I can't say I really fear anything on a normal basis. Watching your wife or daughter get gangraped in front of you might make the top of the list as well.

Slim beat me to it. I would **** my wrists if I could do no better than some middle-management job at 70k/yr.

I'm either going to succeed, or fail spectacularly while trying.

Tokyo Slim de Rubempre. I like it.

1) Not being able to pay back my student loans/grinding my life away paying it back, and thus being a bad family man because I hate my life.
2) Going blind. I'd rather be deaf.
3) Sleeping outdoors and having an army of fire ants crawl in my ear and eat away my eardrums all the way to my brain. Or like in the movie The Mummy, those scarabs that can crawl under your skin and eat you from the inside out.

The story behind the last fear was that I had a friend whose roommate starting having these really bad head/earaches and he then finally went to the doctor who found out that there was a cockroach dead in his ear that had eaten away some of his eardrum, and all that pain was him smashing the cockroach with a Q-tip.

Losing my eyesight. My eyes are bad, so its scary thinking of the worst case scenario.
