Question What phobia do you have if any?

The thread on MRIs has several guys admitting claustrophobia. That seems weird to me, as it is an open tube, not a tiny box.

To my knowledge I don't have a phobia of any sort. Certainly a respect of dangerous things, but that is just common sense.

I have worked on processors in very small dark-rooms in very cramped area, no issue.
I own a Cessna 182 for my business and certainly have no fear of flying.
I have held boa constrictors nad pythons.
My mom used to have a tarantula and I let it crawl around on my hands. I do not handle household spiders or outside spiders, but I have no real fear of them.
Same for snakes. I certainly will stay far back from any poisonous snake but again common sense, not hysterical fear of a garter snake or harmless snake.
I have had to speak in front of crowds. I am not great at it, but I did not have any problems.

I think Mike Rowe has to be the number one, no phobia man on the planet. He has been there done that on every crazy phobia known to man. I have never jumped on alligators, milked venomous snakes and spiders, hung on the side of a tall building, craw into tiny spots to do maintenance, he has done it all.

So on scale of 1 to 10 with a one as a Barney Fife afraid of everything and a 10 as a Mike Rowe and willing to do anything within the limits of common sense and safety where do you rank?

I would rank myself as a 8.5 to 9.0.
