The other day I started thinking about...
" Things that might terrify a flashaholic."
* Looking under your bed and finding a Monster .
* Living in a country where the sun never sets .
* Zebras show up at your door demanding the return of their lights .
* Harbor Freight starts carrying lights nicer than yours .
There must be a million things that could wake a flashaholic in a cold sweat.
What are you afraid of ???
What's your greatest flashlight nightmare ?
"Honey, I put those AAs with the flames on them in the GPS and now it doesn't work."
Showing off your best light on a camping trip and someone else who is not even a Flashaholic pulls out a light brighter than yours.
This happened to me about five years ago but I was a little outgunned as he had a Streamlight Ultrastinger and I had a light that would fit in my pocket.
Worst-case scenario: Coming home to a burned down house. :(
Or waking up in a burning house. :O
Worst flashlight related nightmare: battery fire/explosion
Going to an investigation and shining your light into a corner to see something moving there, did not get it by eye but got it on film and camera. Afraid my light died on me while taking some evp's in the attic, being alone and hearing stuff can make one nervous.
Trying to find reasonable Mag heatsinks.
Either they're too expensive, vaporware/promiseware, are a hassle to get when you do find them, overseas, or the makers don't answer emails. (happened on CPF) What a pain in the ass.

oh.It's a nightmare.
ROFL - harbor freight has an infinite supply of 9 led parasitic drain specials
i just printed that out in large print , taped over my bed and have a flashlight taped to my hand
+500 and how about finding a chunk of copper for a decent price too - lets no forget reflectors costing more than the base light
I gotta go with an exploding lithium battery for pure, involuntary pucker-factor type fear. Also, not owning the other Solarforce lights that I want so badly is a living nightmare right now.

Chuck Norris want to have all my flashlights and we know: Chuck Norris get what he wants.
My wife figures out how much I've spent on flashlights and becomes Chuck Norris.
I agree with a non flashaholic out gunning the light in our possession. This has been my fear when climbing/hiking. Some guys are just too crazy bringing big lights on a hiking/climbing trip.
There's is a picture somewhere here of a large woman (you know the one). In my nightmare she is holding a large flashlight with "BLF sucks" engraved on it and want's to do something unpleasant with it towards me...... 
Having to one day use the "strike bezel".
All your multimoded lights suddenly only have strobe.
All your rechargeables are dead when you need just one.
Waking up in the morning and finding the monster in bed with you .... !!!!!!!
Going online and finding that all my expensive lights are suddenly available as neutral white.
This gave me a nightmare
Fixing and tweaking my favorite light only to drop it in a 1.5m deep muddy water deep in a cave. That's what happened to my SkyRay 3800.
