Has anyone got any nasty phobias? I know someone who was shit scared of balloons

Mushrooms, of any kind, cannot touch them.  Ergh!

I've heard of yogurt pot lids, card board, stickers...

anal assault without prior consent

I'm a bit scared of wasps, whether it's a phobia, i'm not so sure.
What classifies it as a phobia? If I run around screaming like a girl if a wasp is chasing me, does that mean it's a phobia or that i'm just a big wuss?

the latter

there are things im not a fan of but i wouldnt say i have a phobia

Bridges

you wont cross them sippo?

Flying
unmatching bikinis
Crunchies
Felt
Blue drinks

Isn't most of that just stuff you don't like?

No - Its proper hatrid thats turn to phobias! ;)

Crunchies, you are mental!

Spiders.

Laptops....no,no,no,no....please dont hurt me...leave me alone you orrible toshiba....leave me..leave me alone..oh shit...nooooooooooooooooooo!!

haha i was about to say that all girls are scared of spiders! :)

Me too. To the point the Mrs has to deal with them. "They're more scared of you than you are of them" - I boody doubt it.

The wierdest phobia i have seen is the fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you. Its called anatidaephobia.
 
No, really.

I'll cross them reluctantly in the car but I get the real sweats on if I do. Never walk accross them.

Apparently its called gephyrophobia

I'm terrified that one day I'll develop one of these crazy unfounded fears and will no longer be able to feel superior over those mentals which already have one.

Is that a phobia? The phobia of being terrified of getting a phobia!

phobophobia?

Arachnophobia
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

That's a fucking ace phobia.

I remember the first time i bumped into Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, clearly named by a Brit with a strong sense of irony.

Heights is my only phobia, spiders etc don't bother me in the slightest but heights scare the living crap out of me.

If i have to go up anywhere high, i just have this feeling that i want to jump off to get it over with rather than have to stay up there, so my feet always stay firmly on the ground if possible.

Flying i am ok once i'm up high enough that i can't see the ground!

I was on holiday a few years ago, in a queue at a bar and the woman in front of me asked the guy behind the counter for a tea bag. The man next to her jumped out of his skin and then proclaimed to have a phobia of teabags.
I wasn't convinced he was genuine though, and thought it was more an attempt to start a conversation with this bird :)

I'm the same - can't cope with heights if I'm not enclosed - break out in a cold sweat and have to really force myself to move.

However flying I'm absolutely fine with, and even things like the London Eye I can cope with as I'm completely enclosed (although I wouldn't say I'm entirely comfortable doing it!).

You're right.

My favourite phobia has to be Aibohphobia, the fear of palindromes. Whoever came up with that clearly had a sense of irony.

I'm not afraid of anything  :)




Oh, hang on.......................  :fishing:

I've a strange relationship with heights and don't consider it a phobia, as i think it's just vertigo, if that's not the same thing. I like the fear of height and it makes me anxious, which i also enjoy, but i get a bit unsteady and even of watching heights on a TV, or Youtube, i still have to hang on to something.

My old man is similar except he has a proper fear of heights and gets no enjoyment from them at all. He was a pilot. :)

Ergasiophobia and Sphenisciphobia.

Really not. It's a famous joke from a cartoon strip.
