The title says it all. I hate going to dentists. There's few things in life I enjoy less. A couple bad experiences have left real bad tastes in my mouth (lame pun totally intended). The feeling I have going to the dentist is the same one I have every time I take my car for an oil change or to an auto shop--I'm just waiting for them to tell me all kinds of things wrong that are going to cost me a lot of money. Only with the dentist add possible physical pain and nervousness. In fact, since I made my appointment Saturday I was really anxious (and this was just for a cleaning, mind you) and have been sense.
While I was in there I was shaking most the time. I was expecting the dentist to tell me all sorts of things wrong. It was because of this I put off the appointment for a year. Fortunately, I got a mostly clean bill of health--two tiny cavities that can be quickly and easily filled with hardly any drilling. Now I feel better, but the irrational fear of dentists remain. I literally have to say prayers to myself to get through these appointments.
So, how about some of you? What irrational fears do you have and any fun stories to back it up? Or am I the only one who still fears these sorts of things post-childhood?

Whenever I'm driving and someone in front of me throws their cigarette out of their window and the cinders crash on the pavement, I'm afraid that when I drive over it, somehow the cinders will ignite the fumes of my gas tank, and my car will explode.
I was just at the dentist today and have never bled so much in my life. So much for not being nervous. I informed my wife of my experience and she called me a sissy.
