Heights I don't like. Alright up a ladder a couple of floors, but not much more.

I hate wasps, i run a mile when there is one near me.

Heights. Or is it falling?

[RPM]

I'm ok with heights as long as I have absolute confidence in the equipment otherwise it is a no thank you.

Not too keen on spiders or heights..probably stems from being up on a quickstage scaffold about 70 foot climbed through a window onto the scaffold and started drilling into the bricks for some clips as I pushed on the drill the scarf moved away from the wall it had not been tied in ...that was a cheek clenching moment I can tell you....regards Turnpin

Heights, I can't even watch a video clip where the camera is peering over a parapet wall or roof of a high rise building without my stomach churning over
Deep water, or rather deep narrow channels of water like this

Both these phobias I can blame on experiences I've had earlier in life
EDIT similar reason to Turnpins

It is the falling bit that sort of makes heights seem scary, I must admit.
If I had wings, then no worries.
I hate seeing films showing people on edges of high buildings, real or acted.

yeah, fear of falling not heights as such.
because i fallen many times rock climbing and all sorts (trust your equiptment haha). even watching a basket ball match from 20 foot broke my chuffin wrist lol.

Electronic banking. If I can't trust a banker when he is visible,PPI ect. Why should I trust anyone sitting at a computer in an unknown location many thousand miles away from UK jurisdiction.

Heights don't bother me, neither does falling. Although I'm not too keen on the landing.

Cows. I am scared rigid of cows. My mates find it hysterical and call it Croppie's Moophobia.

So, because I hate myself, I live in the middle of the countryside roughly 300 yards from a dairy farm.....

I managed 40 years on this earth without being stung by a wasp then one day in the merchants the summer before last one flew down the back of my t-shirt and the bugger got me 5 times.

I don't like anything near my eyes. I couldn't ever wear contacts, the very thought of putting them in freaks me out!

Nah. A phobia is an irrational fear. Fear of HMRC is very rational.
