Okay, this is going to sound weird, but I really can't stand cotton....like cotton balls ewwwwwwwwwwwww just thinking about it is making me shudder! I can't stand the feel of it, so I won't touch it! I always have to get someone else to pull the cotton out of medicine bottles.

It's funny, but one of my brothers and one sister are the same....and so is my dad...and one of my daughters. No one knows why

I do not like birds..... any kind. I think of bird poop, lice, and those pecking beaks!

LuvnmyYorkie · 07-09-2007, 03:19 PM

Midgets....

I know it sounds mean, but midgets freak me out. And I'm sure its not exactly politically correct to call them midgets, but I don't care...they scare me. I even have a cousin who is dwarf (she is like 2' something), and she scares me. I think this phobia stems from a good ol' high school urban legend that there was a community for midgets near my house, and of course we had to go check it out every time we had nothing else better to do. Never saw a midget there once, but everyone says that they come out and chase you. Most of the time I would turn around before we even got close enough for anyone to know we were there. So my apoligies to any YT'er that is vertically challenged... If anyone has a fear of blondes, I will not be offended!

The bay bridge definately scares me. Did you see the wreck they had on it about a months ago? I would have been terrified.

jp4m2 · 07-09-2007, 05:52 PM

Afraid of??? ...Weelllll, not afraid,but it would drive me insane..... nails on a chalkboard.....putting my tongue on a battery... sand in my shoes.....or looking at maggots.....

Well, I'm not afraid of those cans that you have to peel the paper and pop open, but I will say that I cringe if they pop in my hand before I wack them

It doesn't bother me at all if they stay closed till I wack them, but if they pop spontaneously in my hand - eeewwwww!!!!!

RowdysMom · 07-09-2007, 07:57 PM

I have one more thing that bothers me - I'm not really afraid, but........

I can't flush the toilet in a public place (in a small enclosed stall) until my hand is on the door to come out. When I flush I have to get out of the stall as soon as possible. I'm OK if I am in a large stall where I can stand away from the toilet.

And I HATE those automatic flushers that flush before I can get out or worse yet

flush when you reach for the toilet paper before you get up

For some reason I have a vision of the flushing water spewing up and into my face. I know, I know, that is stupid, but it really bothers me.

That sounds more like OCD rather than a fear...

I don't have a problem flushing in a public place, but I can't pee in public! I mean if I have to I do, but if someone else is in the bathroom I can't..not a fear or anything, just something that I for some reason I cannot do. Once my friend was in the bathroom and I went in a stall to pee, she kept talking to me, and i couldn't go...when I came out she was like "I thought you were pooping" LOL

Sir Max · 07-10-2007, 03:23 PM

LOLOLOL, ist it funny how we all have these little fobias, well not little to the one that has them.

I am scared of snakes and mice- we live 20 miles out of town and one day hubby went with some friends for a bachalor(sp?) party and was going to be gone for the weekend I was excited, some peace and quiet. I was watering my plants and on a Pothos plant I thought it was a few yellow leaves and went to pluck them and they moved. SNAKE!!!!!! we had heavy rains and it came up through the heater vent. Anyway called hubby and ask him if he had started drinking and he said yes, told him my problem and they all laughed, but came to my rescue(no-hubby didnt drive) when they got here they were all laughing and teasing me, when they got this thing out, there was no more laughing, this was just a bull snake(very common here) but it was 7 1/2 feet long. Needless to say they DO NOT tease me I know to much.

Bridges over/on water. I am from Seattle, Washington and there is a bridge there that is on the water. This is not a short bridge either. Parents had some friends they would go see and I would hide on the floor in the back till we were across it. That was 50 years ago and I still think of that bridge.
