What's your irrational fear?

[Slevage]

Hitting your headstock on a ceiling fan is NOT an irrational fear. Ask me how I know...

Circa 1983---- my band was having a rockin' night-- I jumped up on a chair during our Stone's medley. The bouncer tapped my leg and pointed up.
The celing fan was spinning about 2 inches above my head. I stepped foo the chair-- I would have leaped upward to get down if I had not been warned.

That I'll be proved wrong about my tonewood beliefs....


Actually I'm always afraid to play in front of anyone, as my brain is convinced I'm a total fraud at music, with no ear, skills, or real knowledge, and that any second now, even my band will be calling me in it. Luckily I learned to ignore it as best I can, since I generally gather compliments, but the fear is omnipresent.

Irrational fear: Finding a human body in a stream while fishing. Any corpse freaks me out, but I'm utterly terrified of stumbling across a dead person.

Maybe this will help...

That I'm going to get there and find out that I really could have taken it with me

 

[Grumry]

Hospitals, needles, health care, doctors, etc.

Spiders, and not even the ones from Mars . I'm okay with killing them,it's the idea of one coming down from the ceiling when I'm sleeping that concerns me.

Note to self: Use steps...

There's a few military references, so...

... thanks for your service, guys and gals!

I was starting to write what my true worst fear is, but it looks like this thread is intended to be either bass related or humorous. Mine is neither.

Bull sharks and laser pointers.

That's an album title, right there...

Falling off a dark stage in the middle of a solo!

Ha ha, even the Edge of U2 fell off stage, not during any solo though, which makes it even worse (fairly recent concert):

I used to be paranoid, then I realized everyone really IS out to get me. At that point, paranoia is just good thinking. (Based on a line from a tv show or movie I can't really remember.)

I graduated college in 2010. I still sometimes wake up wondering if I enrolled in a class and then forgot about it, and have been failing it.

Or didn't realize you needed a class you didn't sign up for and now you are stuck for one more semester.

A little bit of paranoia is not a bad thing to have in life.

It's irrational either. This is probably not the right place for such thoughts.

Apparently was playing Close to the Edge, no?
