I've no problem with spiders, though I might have a mild jump-scare if I see a big one all of a sudden, just hanging out in a sink or bathtub. That's when you unleash the torrents of water, flushing it down the drain as they clutch in their legs in some futile bid to save themselves. No, you blasted two-inch wide spider, you had the gall to appear out in the open. Stay away in the corners and kill beetles for me.
I used to fear quicksand quite a bit. Like, super freaked me out as a kid. Anytime there was a show or even cartoon where quicksand was involved, I'd make my excuses and leave the room until the scene was over. Doesn't bother me now anymore.
Instead, I'm afraid of being trapped in the vacuum of space without a spacesuit. It's ridiculous because the likelihood of me being in space is a zillion to one.
