I myself am not afraid of water, but when I go out with my two younger sisters, I am afraid that if there is water around and they go near the edge, they will fall in.
Kinda weird, but a horrible thing to live with.

I'm afraid to pump my own gas. I think it's more of a social thing, but I've had my license and a car for 7 years and never pumped my own gas.

I'm terribly scared of sending an SMS (text message) to people. So I often reply late to messages that have been sent to me, because I still have to swallow my fear before picking up my cellphone.
