I'm totally with you. I always hope for turbulence, as it puts me to sleep (maybe that's some rocking-baby type thing left over from childhood). Most travel companions hate me for that.
Worst 'scare' for me was emergency landing in CLE (on an ORD-EWR CO flight) due to a fire in the cockpit. We went down fast and the fire trucks chased our plane down the runway. Turned out to be fine but I was a bit nervous as my two cats were travelling in the belly of the plane too!
