Irrational Fears

[JackRyan64]

Does anyone here on the Escapist have any phobias that you know are completely irrational?

I do! I'm fucking terrified of chickens. Why? Hell if I know. You know what I hate more than chickens? Turkeys. They're basically huge-ass chickens.

*Sigh*

This thread again? I'm pretty sure there was one either yesterday, or the day before.

OT: Bees, and other buzzing insects. They really freak me out.

 

[Dango]

This thread has been done before... many, many times. Oh well, I'll still post
Mine is crane flies, those things scare the shit out of me.

 

[The Amazing Tea Alligator]

I fear alligators and lack of something.

Think I've seen this thread before.

OT:
OVERFLOWING TOILETS OH MY GOD

I hate having to flush strange toilets, cause I dunno how loud they are, and some have the water rise jup before it goes, and it's terrifying ;____;
I gotta have the door open, and hands washed, and a piece of toilet paper to keep my hands clean when I flush, and I flush, and throw the toilet paper in, and get the fuck outta there.
It's horrible ;_;

And it's never even happened to me!

I've seen this thread like 8 times. and on all the others people were talking about how they've seen this thread like 8 times...

OT: Spiders. Also drowning but that one is rational.

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

As I said before mine is wasps, but I maintain that it's a rational fear. Being allergic to wasps means I have real reason to be afraid of them.

 

[LostFable]

also someone nearby holding a knife, i keep getting a feeling that they're gonna stab,slash me.

Spoiler: Chicken fear

I have an irrational fear of small critters in general. I'm good with house pets, house pets are fine, but if I see something in the wild I get terrified. Bugs in particular. Spiders scare the shit out of me.

EDIT: Oh, and people on the bus. After the Greyhound incident I can't help but watch everything when I get in there.
