Simple task scares you?

Parking in the multi-storey car park a the local train station. I was OK when it was on one level.

Posting on political threads

Ladders, usually after the 3 rd step I have a whoosh of adrenaline or something and go all wobbly and stop.

Being in a boat and lose sight of land. (which way do you swim if it sinks)

I won't use the self serve petrol pumps after being charged £20 BEFORE I had put any fuel in. They said the receipt was probably for the person before me but it had my credit card number on it. Was treated shabbily by the staff, and I had even left my fuel tank empty to prove I hadn't had any so never ever will use that again.

I'll do it but I hate it and always think I've done it wrong -reading the electric meter and entering the readings online!

Motorway driving
Night driving- my night vision is awful so no intention of trying to get over this on
Certainly avoiding GN political threads- first foray left me thoroughly battered ?
Anything involving heights or enclosed spaces
Tossing a pancake!

blow up balloons - I am terrified of them

Parallel parking is my Achilles heel I just cannot get it right without shunting and it makes OH grin every time because he knows after over 30yrs driving I still would rather avoid it

Motorway driving - in fact, if I'm honest, these days, any kind of driving. And I'm not good with heights - cable cars, suspension bridges, and the like.

Like you I won't go through a car wash either shysal , as a driver or passenger. I had a bad experience in one when I was young .
Won't do cable cars either Greyduster don't like the idea of dangling from a thread. I also hate rope bridges and anything that moves when you step onto it. I sm slap scared of my loft ladder......Oh dear there are more things than realised.

Oops not sure where the "slap" came from .

Parallel parking, rope bridges,roundabouts, .

This makes me feel better as there are roundabouts that I simply can't cope with

shysal Well, you can drive and anyone who can drive has my admiration because I can't.

I'm pretty useless at most practical things.

I have never flown on my own and this December I am having to fly back to the UK - a 13 hour flight - on my own. It's pathetic, I know, but I'm not looking forward to it at all.

Never liked driving even when younger, but as we lived in the sticks I had to learn if only to be able to get to the shops 5 miles away, and the Dentist etc.I have never driven on a motorway, and have no desire to do so. I think my car will finally be scrapped in January when it has an MOT due. I will not replace it with another, probably a shopping trolley instead!!

Spiders scare me, and although I am not particularly afraid of heights I too would avoid a dangley cablecar!!, maybe there isn't such a word as dangley. There is now!!
Not sure why anyone would be scared of political posts on GN, don't think I have looked at them yet but I will now, nothing much else exciting on here .

I've never used those petrol station tyre inflators either, I couldn't bend down at the right angle for long enough!

Parallel parking I just don't do, unless the gap's big enough for me to drive in forwards with plenty of room for manoeuvre!

Shanma, perhaps lively is more apt than exciting for political threads

I am scared of heights , can't look down from a first floor window, yet have climbed mountains , lifts are a no no , when having an op as I was wheeled towards the lift I was shaking, the nurse assured me the op would be just fine , I said - sod the op it's that lift

I don't like roundabouts either, but had a baptism of fire last year when DH had an op as a day case and I had to drive him home across the city at rush hour, negotiating three of the biggest, scariest roundabouts you could never wish to meet. Terrified is not the word and when we got home - unscathed more by luck than good judgement - I was a trembling wreck.

I can't bear going over a footbridge with gaps between the planks where you can see the area beneath, and when I went round HMS Victory I was horrified to find that halfway round we had to walk over a part of the deck that was totally transparent glass. Luckily, my good friend was with me, and she guided me over it while I screwed my eyes tight shut!( There was no option to retrace your steps, so if she hadn't been with me, I would still be there today.)

Fortunately motorways, multi stories and roundabouts don't phase me.
However, I don't do parallel parking. (I was never taught) . I've never been through a car wash and I don't like suspended balconies or wobbly things that are high up

I am with you over the glass floor chicken there was one in the tower in Toronto and I just couldn't make myself do it. I won't use self service petrol pumps or checkouts in the supermarket, when staff try to make me I reply I am paying to be served! I'm ok with roundabouts and cable cars . I also don't like cash points I'm always convinced I'll lose my card

Chicken I am the same about bridges with planks.
It dates back to coming home from Sunday School and one if the boys would dare us all to cross what was known as the Monkey Bridge. It went over a railway and goods yard and you could see the rails between the gaps in the planks. It seemed to go on for miles and I was terrified. I still dislike footbridges.

Getting up on a step ladder to change a light bulb is something I find intimidating nowadays. I may soon be in the dark!
