Yes My wife is the same with going underwater in Subways which is common on many of the lines here, I don't lie as such I just avoid mentioning it

I do hope to one day ride the Cable car, but not sure I ever will, not sure why it is a phobia with me, as I have also had some luck in avoiding a few flights that crashed, and by avoiding them I mean having my plans change within hours of the flight which I was booked on, but that never put me off flying?
its something I have never understood
