Thank you for that, stuff like this is good to hear from those actually in the industry.
What are your phobias?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trypophobia and you're not alone. There must have been an evolutionary advantage at one point, people avoiding disease mostly likely.
I love flying. Every second , from boarding the plane, the push back, the safety breifing starting the engines , the taxi , the engine run up the time before rotation, the view out of the window when climbing, the criuse, the food and the nice flight attendants the descent the landing and taxis and the deplaning . Love the planes hate the airport.

No problem with heights like up in a jet, in a skyscraper or at scenic overlooks with fence around you, but... I once took a intro plane ride the flying schools offered back in the day on one of them small planes where the wing is above you and you pretty much see everything open up beneath you. First and last time I did that and never had a desire to learn flying again.
Extended oil change intervals.
Bugs (well, specifically ugly ones). There's a story going around about me using a .45 to shoot a massive wolf spider that was in my tree stand. I will neither confirm nor deny this supposition, but there is a hole in one of the tree stand roof supports.
Expelled human fluids. Nope. Nope nope nope. If someone blows their nose during dinner, I can't eat for a day. Opposite of that, I've finished breakfast while field dressing a deer, no problem.

I don’t like being on the water near a large ship.
Well, thanks. After reading all of this I'm now terrified of coming down with a phobia. Phobophobia.

Tall buildings. Can't, won't go into any building over 2-3 stories...
Heights!!!! But flying has never bothered me. Tiny airplanes or big jets, I'm ok.
Driving across the Bay bridge in Maryland makes my knees hurt.
On top of a high building or at the edge of a cliff a voice in my head says "Jump".
So far I haven't listened to the voice.

I have a fear of (or at least a strong dislike for) walking through grass because I'm convinced I'm going to step in dog poop. If I walk through grass somewhere, the first thing I do when I step off is to check my shoes for dookie. My wife thinks it's weird but that's her problem. I once tracked poop into my apartment and another time into my car. I was disgusted and LIVID.
Wife loves skydiving (tandem) but hates going over bridges over the water in the car. Makes me move over from the outer lane. I tried to explain to her that it would be better to bump the guardrail from the slow lane than to get pushed out of the fast lane and hit the rail with more momentum. I had no problem jumping out of the plane, it actually was very peaceful for me, but like someone posted those people standing on the edge of a cliff makes me very nervous, or worse those Russian kids doing backflips on old planks and buildings WAY up high.

Outdoor heights, especially while driving narrow highways with curves that have deep drop-offs at the shoulder of the road.
Another is Elevators. I literally can feel my oxygen level drop the moment the elevator doors shut and it begins moving up or down.
Supernatural stuff..... and yes it exists - with me anyways. It's things I see, hear, feel and smell, that are not shared by anyone else with me at the time. It's not every day occurrences and not even every week. The most bizarre form of it is really rare (telepathy) and a vast majority of the time it's in my sleep.
(Example) Buying jewelry from Ebay - then wearing it to bed. I sometimes get to find out who owned it prior. That person may be alive or dead and even associated another continent. A couple times the deceased seller takes me thru their own death experience - I get to re-live it ......like falling off a ledge......etc.
Once impact occurs, I wake up. I even get to listen to their dialect, as they explain it. I find out who's Irish - who's Middle East or who's Polish.
Happens with jewelry and with used clothing that's purchased - then worn to bed.

Dumb voters
Mine always looked angry, even when he was smiling. I don't think I've ever seen anybody look angry and laugh at the same time!
