What is something you worried about way too much as a kid?

As a kid you were conditioned to worry way too much about different things that may or may never happen.
1.  That it was illegal to have the dome light on in your car while driving.  It’s not.
2.  If you went swimming right after you ate, you’d cramp up and drown.
3.  That quicksand was a major cause of death for lots of people.
4.  That if anything bad hit your “permanent record,” your life was ruined.
5.  If you took a shower during a thunderstorm, you’d probably get struck by lightning and die.  That one’s rare, but it’s actually legit.
6.  Sweets before bed would give you nightmares.  There could actually be something to that one too, but your parents were probably just lying.
7.  Skunks, and how hard it is to avoid being sprayed by one.
8.  If you consumed anything from a hotel minibar, you’d bankrupt your family.
9.  If you swallow your gum it will stay in your stomach for seven years.
10.  If you sit too close to the TV you could go blind.
