Submarines, elevators and bridges

Two recent shows had subs mentioned in them.  Don't think I could do that.  Not crazy about elevators or bridges either.  (Enclosed areas).  Seems like someone mentioned that an MRI or CT scan machine in hospitals, was hard for them in such a closed in area. 

 

 

Do you have any uncomfortable feelings in any of those?  Don't mean the subs so much as the others.  Unless.....   

 

Or do you have places you feel uncomfortable in?

I have no desire to be on a cruise ship.

I don't like heights.  If I'm in a skyscraper, I stay away from the windows or don't look out of them.  The glass elevator at the mall is hard for me.  When flying, I take an aisle seat.  I soldier through unavoidable height situations but if I can avoid something, I do.  I also have a sunflower phobia that I have had since I was 3 or 4.

Difficult to avoid elevators when working on the 55th floor of a high rise, but I avoid them if it's crowded (for various reasons.)

 

The original World Trade Center express elevators were terrific:  they were extremely roomy and made express stops so you would transfer to a local (similar to the subway.)

In addition to ocean liners and cruise ships...

 

My family left Chicago when I was ten and moved West.  I've lived in Arizona, California and New Mexico.

 

As much as I love mountains, there are some mountain roads I choose to avoid.

@qualitygal   I had an MRI a couple years ago.  Hopefully I will never need another one.  I Never realized how claustrophobic I am until had it done.  It was 40 minutes in an enclosed tube.  Never again.

I agree. I'm more comfortable in the water than on it. (Well, warm water anyway.) I've always been a swimmer and I'm comfortable in the water but get very nervous on a boat, large or small.

Re: Submarines, elevators and bridges

@qualitygal  I'm with you. Any enclosed space or high place. Tunnels, bridges, mountainside roads, elevators, airplanes. In the 70s we traveled through the Grimsel Pass in Switzerland in a VW bug during a snowstorm in July. My DH and brother were having a high old time. It was all I could do to try to take in the amazing scenery.

Re: Submarines, elevators and bridges

I don't like heights. I flew once, i can say I did, never again.  Being at 30/35 thousand feet in a gas can with wings holds no allure. Also being trapped with 3 kids kicking the back of my seat for 1200 miles is no fun.

 

High bridges, nope.  High narrow roads with just one piddly rail, nope.

Re: Submarines, elevators and bridges

@just bee   Looking at that mountain road made me feel slightly dizzy and sick to my stomach!    Much like I feel when crossing large bridges.
