    I too have a frog phobia. This is kinda gross so stop reading if you are squeemish.
    Long ago, I used to horse back ride. At horse camp, we'd bring the horses into the barn in the evening at dusk. Well one year, for some reason, there were wall to wall frogs in the fields. Riding the horses into the corrals/stables you could just hear *squish* *squish* So gross. I had to stop doing the evening round ups cause I couldn't get over it. EWWWW!

    I'm techinically not scared of them in a fish tank. Same for mice. It's the thought of them jumping or running at me fast that FREAKS me out.
    We were at a restaurant the other night. People started moving chairs and I thought they were rearranging to fit in more people. NOOO...a rat the size of a CAT scurries by. I am ON TOP of the not so sturdy table! I was there with a friend who had to carry me out piggyback

    Sounds like something I would have done, but with a frog. My boyfriends family think its funny, my fear of frogs. So one day they bought a little baby waterfrog and out it in the fish tank. THe youngest boy, 8 wanted me to come look at the NEW FISH. I didn't think much of it, until the whole family (8 of them) followed me in there to look. I see the fish, and then all of a sudden out swims a frog. Of course I scream and holler and jump back too. Everyone laughs and the whole evening is spent of picking on me. Ribbit ribbit. It's all fun and games though.

    I don't mind seeing them or watching them, but do NOT ask me to touch one.

    I always makes me sad when people are afraid of animals.
