This "scared" business is a funny thing.

I remember my niece at about 5 years old telling me she was scared of
spiders.

She was holding a spider by its leg at the time, whilst she pulled its
other legs off, it struck me that the spider was probably a lot more
"scared" of her.

I think some people are unable to see things from the other person's
perspective.


Apparently, I have heard of some drivers being scared by hand gestures whilst being inside a 1.5 tonne tin box. Fear can come from many benign sources.
