Not scared of turbulence, but don't like it.
Worst for me was the end of Feb last year. Domestic flight from EDI to MAN. Embraer 145, sat at the back. seat belt signs all the way, CC strapped in, too. And I was busting for a pee 10 mins after take off.

Approach into MAN was a bit sporting and i made full use of the sick bag provided. One or two screams from other pax as the A/C pitched, rolled and yawed its way towards the runway.

Once we dropped out of the cloud over the runway I though it was all over and we we'd be back on terra firma soon, I heard the engnes spool up again. We were going around. Or not. Captain had already had enough and we were off to BHX.

On reflection, the worst part was the 2 hour coach ride back to my car at MAN!
