One night, there was a wild party going on on another floor. Some drunk people came up around 4:00 AM, opened all doors on my floor (including my bedroom) and then emptied a fire extinguisher. I woke up in the middle of the night with the air full of extinguishing powder, blocking any sight and making it hurt to breathe.

Dang! that sucks. I've been in a cloud of extinguishing powder (Scouting accident when I was 11), and it is awful. The chemical they use in fire extinguishers is monoammonium phosphate NH4PO4, by the way.

Do I have any irrational phobias? Well, none that I know of. I'm not really afraid of much, though I am pretty careful when I have to deal with potentially dangerous materials (thermite, lithium foil, LiPF6, concentrated H2SO4, compressed gas cylinders, etc.) The only thing that might scare me is if you practically threw a live hand grenade my way, or something extreme like that.

I'm not afraid of much in the mod either. The only thing that is always a bit nerve-racking to fight in the mod is a Warg Bombardier, especially if you run out of ammo. A double-headed Olog-hai can also be pretty tough. One of them actually out-paced a Rohirric horse, and managed to kill it.

I think everyone would be extremely careful when working with strong acids, high heat, fragile containers, or other obvious dangers.
